@SoveyX My mom used a vaporizer with Vicks in it when we were sick as kids (early 60's). She would also rub it on out chest when we were congested. I'm not sure if it was the Vicks, or a loving mother that worked best.

@SoveyX I may need to reboot my Weight Watcher app a few times. I will definitely be using the "Quick Add" feature. Ex: Estimated Points: 75 Quick Description: CRAP!

How much weight will Americans gain this weekend? The setup: - 341.8M Americans → 268.3M adults - 65% celebrating = 174.4M people - Calories in excess of 3500 The four cookout archetypes: 🥗 Light (20%): One plate, acts spiritually superior. +500 cal 🍔 Standard (40%): Burger, sides, a few snacks. +1,400 cal 🍖 Heavy (30%): "Just one more bite" repeated like a legal defense. +2,400 cal 🏆 Elite federal holiday athletes (10%): Treats Memorial Day like an Olympic event sponsored by mayonnaise. +4,000 cal Weighted average: 1,780 surplus calories per celebrating adult The math: 174.4M × 1,780 = 310 billion surplus calories ÷ 3,500 cal/lb of fat = 89 million pounds Defensible range: 50M–125M lbs of fat-equivalent weight But the scale Monday morning will lie. Glycogen holds water. Salt holds water. Alcohol wrecks fluid balance. Travel makes you puffy. One person gains 0.3–0.7 lbs of real fat but sees 1–4 lbs on the scale. National scale chaos: easily several hundred million pounds. Final answer: ~89M lbs of actual fat gain this weekend. The scale will say worse, because half the country is carrying water, sodium, and the consequences of saying "I'll just have a little potato salad." Which is adorable. Because "a little potato salad" is how every aunt in America begins a biological weapons program. 🇺

Listen closely, because I am not whispering this into the void. I am done. Bone-deep, marrow-scorched, soul-fucking done with the slow-motion slaughter unfolding on X. What was once billed as the last free-speech redoubt has metastasized into something far more sinister: a gleaming digital abattoir where the good, the serious, the heterodox minds who still dare to think in full sentences are systematically bled out for sport. The butchers? A coalition of liberal mass-report mobs armed with nothing but ideological venom and the platform’s own soulless AI enforcer…a pattern-matching automaton so devoid of nuance it might as well be lobotomized by committee. Add in weaponized DMCA lawfare, an algorithmic contempt for anything longer than a rage-bait tweet, and a festering antisemitic sewer that somehow never triggers the same automated wrath, and you have the perfect execution chamber for anyone who refuses to play the dopamine-chasing game. I watched it happen to me. And too many others. Months of work… essays, threads, research, audience…vaporized in 2.5 seconds because the mob found the right keywords and the machine lacked the courage, the intellect, or the integrity to ask why. This is not moderation. This is psychological warfare dressed in silicon. The ancient human circuitry for ostracism and status annihilation, supercharged by frictionless report buttons and trained on activist datasets, now runs the show. Conservatives, classical liberals, truth-tellers… anyone who refuses the script…get disappeared while bots, trolls, and medieval Jew-haters flood the replies with blood libels that somehow slip the noose. Meanwhile the rage-bait merchants and click-farming grifters chase impressions like junkies chasing the next hit, lying, baiting, manufacturing synthetic outrage because that is what the algorithm rewards. I wrote the piece you are about to read in a white-hot fury that has not cooled. It is not a polite complaint. It is a forensic autopsy of a platform that betrayed its founding promise with lethal precision. And it is my public declaration of exile. Because I have found my people on Substack. Not perfect…nothing is…but here depth is not punished as inefficiency, long-form thought is not throttled as spam, and serious conversation can still breathe without the constant shadow of the blade. X can keep its gladiatorial arena and its baying mob. I am building elsewhere. Read what follows if you still believe ideas matter more than impressions. If you are sickened by the same daily executions. If you, too, are done watching good people get erased while the platform that once promised liberation becomes their eager executioner. The digital guillotine is real. And it is hungry. I'll check in from time to time but you know where to find me. I can no longer stand to be here as I once was. This place has devolved into nothing but bullshit and the people who could do something about it... Refuse. So good fucking riddance. If you want to know what I'm up to you know where to find me. I have had enough of this place and I'm drawing my line in the sand. If I post anything at all it'll be introductions to my work on substack. Nothing more and nothing less. This has become a shitshow and I am checking the fuck out. open.substack.com/pub/lhgrey78/p…

@Tedette1106 @y2kfailure @news_jul @nbcsnl One of my biggest regrets was getting the jabs but it was required by large corporate BS policy. I was 65+, overweight, and Type II diabetic at the time so I was in the higher risk zone.

You are correct Teddy! I just ignore people like this and think of one of my favorite quotes.... "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer

Sadly today we mourn the loss of Boston firefighter Bobby Kilduff, killed in the line of duty last night. Bobby (BK) served in the USMC before becoming a firefighter and was a dedicated volunteer of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Our hearts go out to his family and all he served with. Thank you BK.

Our daughter started driving a few weeks ago... tonight we saw her car at CVS left her a note that read so we "I'm sorry I Hit your car. Call to fix" with a random number... We then parked at McDonald's to get the reaction. This is the only way we are ever going to make it through this phase of parenthood. Dark humor gets us through.

Me: convenience store at 2AM buying instant noodles. cashier looks exhausted, I look spiritually bankrupt. we understand each other immediately. Cashier scans my items silently, then pauses at fourth energy drink. Cashier: ...big day tomorrow? Me: No, Small mental breakdown tonight. Cashier nods professionally. then reaches under counter and adds chocolate bar. Me: I didn’t buy that. Cashier: Neither did I. we stare at each other. this has become criminal somehow. then he quietly says: The manager fired me twenty minutes ago. pause. Cashier: I no longer recognize earthly authority. he hands me receipt with revolutionary energy. I left before becoming accomplice.
