USA. A diner. The waitress asked me how I want my eggs, and my mind went completely blank. "How do you want your eggs, hon?" Want. How do I WANT them. No one has ever asked me this. In my land, the egg arrives as the cook decrees, and you thank the egg, the cook, and your ancestors, in that order. "Scrambled? Over easy? Sunny side up?" she offered, gently, the way one talks a man down from a roof. The terms did not help. Over easy — over WHAT, easily? Easy for whom? Sunny side up — these people have named an egg after the dawn. Who does that. I needed time. I have chosen battlefields faster than I chose those eggs. She refilled my coffee and said she'd come back. It was the second refill. I had been deciding for nine minutes. The man on the next stool leaned over. "Just say over easy, man. You can't go wrong." "And if I CAN go wrong?" "...it's eggs, buddy." It's eggs. Eight hundred years of my family training itself to want nothing, and this man dismissed all of it with a fork in his hand. He was right. I will never tell him. "Sunny side up," I declared, with the weight of a man choosing a path for life. "I will face the sun." "You got it, hon." The eggs came. Two small suns on a white plate, looking up at me. Golden. Ridiculous. Exactly what I wanted. So THAT is what wanting feels like. I had to cross an ocean and hold up a breakfast line to learn it. The man on the next stool got his check and left. "Good choice," he said. I have never been more proud of anything. A man does not ask the eggs to be simple. He only becomes a man who knows what he wants. Tomorrow: over easy. I am almost ready.

@ztech1001 @exjon the tower was. I think there’s more to go

@arnoldsays @exjon Yes, but wasn't it just finished?

“Could’ve spent that money on VBS.” — every nondenominational church budget meeting

@ztech1001 @exjon Sorry, actually 144 years old. It’s just finally near completion. But it’s not new & shiny. I’m trying to be disrespectful here. It truly is incredible. Very special place

@arnoldsays @exjon Yes, but it's new and shiny, and how many are worshippers rather than tourists? I hope I'm wrong.

@ztech1001 @exjon I don’t think so in this case. Ever been? Mass amount of people all day long

@exjon Tbf, most nondenoms probably have more attendees any given Sunday than this will in a quarter. It's a shame, because it is beautiful.

@iowahawkblog @fiago7 I could argue you might want to stop in Dubuque to take break between Iowa City and Madison

@fiago7 Since you're in Chicago, an in-order 4-stop road trip: Milwaukee Madison WI Decorah IA Iowa City IA

What are some underrated cities (or even more rural places) in the US I need to explore this summer? 🇺🇸

@iowahawkblog @fiago7 This list is correct

@Uzonna7 I disagree. I thought it was kind of shitty. Comes nowhere close to the character in the books

American Assassin is the most criminally slept-on action movie of the last 10 years. Insane training arc, brutal fights, zero unnecessary CGI. Y’all really let this one flop?. 🎬🎥 American Assassin 🔥♥️

just a friendly reminder, you are not legally required to wait in the exit line at Costco

@TruthFairy131 @AnnCoulter an the parents claim same mental stress and smoke this demo. join release? better yet, “convert” to Islam and do the eye for eye thing, so to speak? that should hold up, right? right?

The Muslim Nanny who decapitated a girl then carried her head through the streets screaming 'Allahu Akbar' “She will be free after just five years in a psychiatric ward after doctors "cure" her. Western Civilisation is in moral decay & is collapsing.

@TruthFairy131 @AnnCoulter there’s no British male to step up and whack this demon?

@JacquesVieau @mattvanswol Yes, it’s also why good Samaritans are prosecuted, like the guy on the NY subway. They want people to be afraid to intervene, and I’d say other than exceptions like this, it is working

Not many people understand the real end goal here by the left and their globalist puppet masters. The left wants crime and chaos to spread so that citizens become so fed up and terrified that they willingly surrender their rights in exchange for a police state. Manufacture a crisis. Let the population beg for a solution. Then offer dystopian measures — and they’ll agree to it.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Asheville NC after a man who tried to DRAG A WOMAN INTO THE WOODS, KIDNAP, AND BEAT HER on a hiking trail... ...has just been ALLOWED TO LEAVE JAIL ON A $5,000 BOND!!! Dillon Curtis has been arrested 15 TIMES before... INCLUDING a 2ND DEGREE KIDNAPPING charge from last July ...for which a judge ALSO let him walk on $4,500 bond. According to the police report, Dillon followed Emily to her car, where he shoved her and tried to hit her. She began calling 911 and he tried ripping her PHONE out of her hand while she was calling 911. He threatened, in his own words, to "KNOCK HER OUT AND DRAG HER INTO THE WOODS." Then two mountain bikers, Harvest and Trevor, drove up and the guy ran off. Emily is alive because of those two strangers. Please understand...a man already on bond for FELONY KIDNAPPING tried to kidnap a woman off an Asheville trail... ...and was charged with only FOUR MISDEMEANORS. Bond: $5,000. He will be out and terrorizing more women soon. WE CANNOT CONTINUE LIVING LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@VinnyVaducci26 @BrandonLittleBL I guess we’ll just have to disagree. Guy’s a legend. He did what he was paid to do. Owned Michigan.

@arnoldsays @BrandonLittleBL I believe it because it’s a fact. Just because a couple badger fans wouldn’t mind him being the coach doesn’t change the fact the guy is pure slim and that’s being nice

Urban Meyer admits he lost respect for the Michigan Wolverines after all of the recent happenings up north. 😬 More below 🔗⬇️

@VinnyVaducci26 @BrandonLittleBL Believe that if you want. I live in Madison. Pretty confident Badger fans take Urban anytime

@arnoldsays @BrandonLittleBL Cool, but not the point. Urbs is a scumbag that’s only respected by the bitcheye fan base.

@VinnyVaducci26 @BrandonLittleBL Michigan also never defeated him

@BrandonLittleBL News flash: Michigan has never respected that mouth breathing criminal molder. He can go back to the bar and grope some more girls and act like his shit don’t stink. Dude is a class A douche bag loser

@mikemoviez I would say this IS the scene for sure

A couple of days ago I posted about The Godfather, asking what moment best represented Michael's mental acceptance and transition from Michael to Don Corleone. I think this scene is one of the best candidates (along with the restaurant scene).

@BADCH1CK3N @ChadWhit1k @DudespostingWs modern gloves have a hole for option index finger outside the glove

@ChadWhit1k @DudespostingWs So the edge of the glove doesn't have his fingers in? I'm from UK we don't play baseball

Slow-motion footage of a catcher receiving a 100 mph fastball is insane.

@aakashgupta @DLoesch It’s awe striking in person

If you pitched this as a screenplay every studio would reject it for being too on-the-nose. A 73-year-old architect walks to confession in 1926 and gets hit by a tram on the Gran Via in Barcelona. He's mistaken for a vagrant because of his worn clothes and left at a pauper's hospital. He dies three days later. His name is Antoni Gaudí. The cathedral he leaves behind is less than a quarter complete. The plans to finish it sit in his workshop as plaster models and detailed drawings. Ten years after his death, in July 1936, FAI anarchists break into that workshop. They smash the plaster models. They burn the archive of drawings and calculations. They pry open Gaudí's tomb. For the next 50 years, architects piece together a destroyed playbook from photographs and broken plaster fragments. The geometry was the real problem. Gaudí designed the church using upside-down hanging-chain models because the math for hyperboloid intersections did not yet exist on paper. He had solved it physically. Computers finally caught up to him in the 1980s. By 2010 the project was 50% complete. By 2015 stone elements that took months to hand-carve were being modelled digitally and machine-cut in days. Now the kicker. The building is funded entirely by people paying admission to see scaffolding. €134.5 million of income in 2025, all private, none of it from the Spanish state or the Vatican. About 4.7 million tourists a year buying €26 tickets to watch a cathedral get built. The unfinished state was the product. On June 10, 2026, exactly 100 years to the day after Gaudí died, the cross goes up on the Tower of Jesus Christ. 144 years from groundbreaking. 172.5 meters tall. The tallest church building in the world, beating Ulm Minster, which took 513 years. When asked why his project was taking so long, Gaudí said one thing: "My client is not in a hurry." Turns out neither was he.
