Folks with whimsy are often dismissed by doomers as delusional. Cool to know the science is on our side 🤠 Here’s to delusional optimism!

@atotalposer Any location in Polynesia could never look like that even on a gloomy day

like oh right my bad i forgot that composers are omnipresent beings who transcend time, reality, and space to exist as an unseen presence with a sole purpose to provide a timely orchestral score. my mistake

“I believe a great piece of jewelry by a master jeweler is actually art, and I also think of my jewelry as my children. My jewelry makes me very, very, very happy, and I don’t have to get up in the morning and make it oatmeal for breakfast.” Jennifer Tilly breaks down her #RHOBH confessional look. She’s wearing a custom Gucci kimono featuring cranes along the bottom, a symbol of happiness and longevity in Chinese culture. Jennifer, who is half Chinese, says she always feels happy when she wears it. For this look, she’s channeling a glamorous Hollywood movie star because, well, she is a movie star and glamour is basically her middle name. 😂 She also jokes that one of the best things about wearing a kimono or a kaftan is that you can enjoy a full spaghetti dinner without worrying about sucking in. Jennifer goes on to highlight her stunning necklace, which has a rich history. It was originally commissioned by Cole Porter for his wife, Linda Lee Porter, and designed by Flato. #RHOBH

Why does everyone who holds my heart dear live so GODDAMN. FAR. AWAY!!!!!

I’ve said, “I love you” during missionary on the second link. Do not play with me !!!

i once worked with someone extremely wealthy and what stood out was their mindset and how they never complained about small inconveniences their coffee order was wrong? they just drank it. flight delayed? they pulled out a book. they had this quiet acceptance that some things simply aren’t worth the emotional energy while the rest of us stressed over what we couldn’t control, they had already shifted focus to what they could control. it wasn’t really about money solving problems… it was about having enough security that they didn’t feel the need to fight every battle... they could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.

@CollinRugg Protect these women at all costs

NEW: Kentucky family rejects $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center despite the offer being about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area. "If it's my way, I'll stay and hold and feed a nation. 26 million doesn't mean anything." "As long as I'm on this land, as long as it's feeding me, as long as it's taking care of me, there's nothing that can destroy me if I've got this land." Video: Local 12 WKRC

A quarter century was just enough for this guy. RIP wizard man

pregnant women in high-stress jobs or home situations are statistically more likely to carry female fetuses to term because male fetuses are less likely to survive extreme stress, and if that isn’t nature’s subtweet, I don’t know what is. Even before birth, girls appear to be built to endure pressure, yet we still question whether women can handle high-stakes roles, boardrooms, operating rooms, CEO positions, or other seats of power. Gender inequality is rooted in patriarchy, not SCIENCE.

you can force any credit card company to remove a late payment from your report using a legal loophole that takes one phone call and most people will never try it because they assume the answer is no it's called a goodwill adjustment and it works because banks have full discretion over what they report to the bureaus. the FCRA requires them to report ACCURATE information. it does not require them to report ALL information. if a creditor decides to remove a late payment as a courtesy, they're not violating any law. they're choosing not to report something they're legally allowed to omit a single 30-day late payment can drop your score 60-110 points and stay on your report for 7 years. that's 7 years of higher interest rates, denied applications, and lost opportunities from one missed payment the call script: "Hi, I'm calling about my account ending in [last 4]. I have a late payment from [month/year] and I'm requesting a goodwill adjustment to have it removed from my credit report. I've been a customer since [year] and this was an isolated incident. I've made every payment on time since then and I'd like to continue being a loyal customer. Is there someone who can help me with a goodwill removal?" if the first rep says no, ask to speak with a supervisor in the retention department. retention reps have more authority to make account adjustments because their job is keeping you as a customer if the phone call doesn't work, send a physical letter. the letter needs to be specific and slightly emotional without being dramatic. include your account number, the specific late payment date, the reason it happened (lost job, medical emergency, autopay glitch, whatever is true), and a clear request for removal as a one-time courtesy "I have been a loyal [bank name] customer for [X years]. During [month], I experienced [brief honest reason] which resulted in a payment being received [X days] late. This was not reflective of my financial responsibility or my commitment to this account. Since then, I have maintained a perfect payment history. I respectfully request a goodwill adjustment to remove this late payment from my credit report as a one-time courtesy" mail it to the executive office, not the general P.O. box. google "[bank name] executive office address" or "[bank name] office of the president." letters that reach the executive team get handled by people with actual authority success rates vary by bank. American Express is historically the most generous with goodwill removals. Chase is moderate. Capital One is stingy but not impossible. Discover is generally responsive now here's the play most people miss: if you have ONE late payment on an otherwise clean report, fixing that single item is worth potentially 60-110 points. the jump from 680 to 750+ changes your entire financial life. mortgage rates, auto loan rates, credit card approvals, insurance premiums, apartment applications. we're talking tens of thousands of dollars in savings over the next decade from one phone call and one letter a 60-point score increase on a $400K mortgage can save you $40,000-$70,000 over 30 years. from a letter if you've got late payments dragging your score down and you want someone to handle the whole process across all your accounts and all three bureaus, that's our thing. 30-90 days. link in bio

Experiencing tough things with someone you love and care for, like family vs. uhh the opposite, is such a world of difference. With support and love, hard things feel doable.

@cutecorestar Hi guys

say hi to Luna and Artemis and you will have the best year ever

I am too kind and too pretty to be taken for granted

I really really liked being a mom.

No cure for endometriosis. No proper management for menopause. No adequate symptomatic relief for menstrual discomfort. But let’s get handicapped sperm a wheelchair to make not so healthy babies because it would make men feel strong.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

The universe really does surprise you with love

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K @FrankyDestroy Bob has an appreciation for a certain level of camp

Roger Ebert on ‘The Mummy’ “There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an "Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.”

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…
