The Roman Fly

@johnamonaco @CryptoMikli This guy gets it

@CryptoMikli The hyper-optimization/“-maxxing” of life is cringe. Constantly having anxiety over it goes against the very purpose of life.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@BJordanLogue It’s a good point. But even a Nespresso type drink would be much preferred over whatever the current preparation method is ☕️

@TheRomanFly I'm with you...but espresso made correctly is inefficient...a big heavy machine capable of mass production probably isn't feasible on a plane. It would probably end up as a small amount of strong coffee.

Espresso should just be the default coffee option on planes. How can we make this happen?

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@RepThomasMassie @tedcruz @mtgreenee Massie don’t miss 😂🔥

@tedcruz I proudly stood in the way of your AI-data center amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill that would have given those companies immunity from the law. In fact, @mtgreenee and I got it stripped from the bill. Did your big tech cronies still let you cash their checks after you failed?

The people of Kentucky spoke loud and clear last night. They want fighters who will deliver real results, and time and again, Thomas Massie stood in the way.

Honestly couldn’t have said it better myself. Here we are.

@RepThomasMassie @FoxNews Rooting for you 💪

I'll be appearing on @FoxNews's "America's Newsroom" at 10:30 AM ET. Tune in! foxnews.com/shows/americas…

I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history. Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation? Spread the word fellow patriots!

@michaeljknowles Dude you are so much smarter and better than this. Disappointing to see.

This term, Massie has voted with the GOP 77.7% of the time. That rate is much lower than the median GOP congressman, who voted with the party 95% of the time. Massie's rate of voting with the Republicans is also lower than his own record in the last term (91%), which itself was lower than the term before that (95%). You can like Massie. You can think he's right to buck the party. But you can't deny the trend, and you can't deny the VP's observation. t.co/xSFtLEwO4P

@TristenPalori Instant follow.

Can someone explain to me why people do cosmetic yard work for 4+ hours every weekend? Wait, so the 10 seconds you see it when you leave/enter your home makes it all worth it? I just can’t think of a worse way to spend my time.

@catholiccom @poperespecter1 “And make sure they have vanity plates”

Okay, he just walked out of confession. Have 3 Beemers cut him off on the drive home

Spot on.

There is only one thing you need to know about @RepThomasMassie campaign and it’s not even that he’s the best congressman in the country with a voting record second to none. It’s that the Israel lobby is attempting to unseat a congressman for the crime of exposing them and their disastrous war. No self respecting nation can allow that to happen. Don’t believe the bs last minute accusations and betting market shifts. These are obvious signs of a concerted effort. Just double down, send him money if you can, call whoever you know in his district, share his videos or posts. We need to win this one.

@michaeljknowles So what are you doing to ensure he does not go down? This is no time to sit back and observe. Please use your voice to support Massie.

If Massie goes down, there can be no doubt whatsoever that President Trump continues to hold—as I have long observed, despite popular babbling to the contrary—an ironclad grip on the GOP.

It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election. All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS. There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.

@melaninglamour What makes people act like this?

Pt. 466743 of people not minding their business

Never understood why boarding a flight early is a “perk” Great, I get to sit for an extra 22 minutes in an uncomfortable seat while we don’t move
