These girls are getting PREGNANT! They did not go into those facilities pregnant‼️

Joe Rogan says to Steve O that trans people killed more people than ICE this year.

The owner of a real estate company thought it would be fun to build everyone their own tiny home as an office instead of the typical boring cubicles. He felt that it would be more private for them and it would be fun for the to customize and make it their own. When the workers get to work they seem to be at a home away from home. They are happier and more productive. Would you want to work in your own home office like this or should he just let them have cubicles like everyone else?

Love it

Just paid $47 for a haircut. Not because it's a particularly good haircut. Because the barber shop near my house charges $47. I used to pay $18 for haircuts. Then I moved to a neighborhood where barber shops have exposed brick and serve complimentary beer. The haircut is identical. But the ambiance costs $29 extra. My wife asked why I don't just go to my old barber. He's 25 minutes away now. I could. But then I'm the guy making $270K who drives across town to save $30 on a haircut. That's somehow worse than just paying the $47. This is what lifestyle inflation looks like. Not buying Ferraris. Just accepting that haircuts cost $47 now because everyone around you pays $47. The barber showed me a $15 pomade he recommends. I bought it. I don't need $15 pomade. But I already paid $47 for the haircut. What's another $15? This is how rich people stay rich. They nickel and dime themselves into normalizing absurd prices. Next year the haircut will be $52. And I'll pay it. Because that's just what haircuts cost now.

We’re being told hospitals are “flooded” with GLP-1 complications and that we’re at the “tip of the iceberg.” I’ve been a bariatric surgeon long enough to remember these drugs when they were still in trials. I’ve prescribed them. I’ve monitored patients on them. And when the ER had a question about one of my patients on a GLP-1, they called me. I am not seeing a flood. What I see — every single shift — are the consequences of untreated obesity: heart failure, uncontrolled diabetes, infections, sleep apnea crises, fatty liver disease progressing quietly toward cirrhosis. That is the deluge. Yes, GLP-1 medications have side effects. We know what they are. We counsel patients about them. We stop the drug if needed. That’s called medicine. But the claim that a hidden catastrophe is overwhelming hospitals is not something you prove with adjectives. You prove it with data. And if such a signal were real, it would not remain invisible for long in a healthcare system that tracks admissions, billing codes, adverse events, and outcomes with relentless precision. Obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease with serious downstream consequences. Treating it is not cosmetic vanity, and it is not “forcibly stopping people from eating.” It is modifying disordered physiology — something we do every day with insulin, thyroid hormone, antihypertensives, and chemotherapy. The relevant comparison is not drug risk versus zero. It is drug risk versus the very real morbidity of leaving obesity untreated. If someone believes there is an iceberg, show the sonar. Until then, what I see in the emergency room is not a wave of GLP-1 disasters. I see the far more predictable damage of a disease we’ve under-treated for decades.
