@lomaxx Lol. That's SO MANY "If's"

This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me. Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000 I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year. Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.

@NPRinskeep @Acosta Kinda wondering if polymarket and kalshi are taking bets on if there is going to be another attempt... And also, if someone tried to kill me 5 times in 2 years, I probably wouldn't host an outdoor event that looks like a security nightmare 🤷🤦

Over the weekend, the UFC announced this rendering of what MMA cage matches on the White House lawn should look like on June 14. 1/2

@DukeInvests How much did houses cost back then?

Everyone loves to say boomers had it easy. No one mentions that in the early 1980s (when boomers were in their 20s and 30s), mortgage payments as a share of income were just as crushing as they are today. Mortgage rates hit 18.5% in 1981.

@PeachProof23 These look like a nightmare to walk on... Which if I remember correctly, is the primary function of a *checks notes* "stepping stone" 🤦

The Ultimate Guide to Upcycling Plastic Trays into Custom Garden Stepping Stones Why settle for generic, store-bought garden stepping stones when high-end, custom landscaping pieces can be created using everyday household items? This brilliant DIY project transforms standard plastic party platters—specifically four-section veggie trays and deviled egg platters—into gorgeous, flower-inspired concrete stepping stones. It is the ultimate combination of budget-friendly landscaping, upcycling, and weekend crafting. Before mixing any cement, mastering the core steps is essential to ensure the final pieces are both structurally sound for outdoor use and safely constructed. Step-by-Step Construction Guide 1. Prepare the Workspace and Molds Always work outdoors or in a well-ventilated garage. Lay down a protective barrier, such as a heavy-duty moving blanket topped with a thick plastic trash bag, to provide a clean, cushioned surface for demolding. Take the plastic trays and thoroughly coat the entire interior with a generous layer of cooking spray or mineral oil. This acts as a release agent and prevents the curing concrete from bonding to the plastic. 2. Mix and Pour the Concrete Choose a high-strength concrete mix or sand-and-gravel mix for maximum durability against foot traffic and weather elements. Slowly add water to the concrete powder, mixing thoroughly until it reaches a thick, moldable consistency similar to peanut butter. Carefully pack the mixture into the prepared plastic molds. To achieve deep, well-defined ridges and avoid structural weaknesses, press the wet concrete firmly into every single pocket and crevice of the tray. Fill the molds entirely to the brim to ensure thick, sturdy stones. 3. The Crucial Curing Window Patience is key to preventing cracks. Allow the poured concrete to sit undisturbed in a shaded, level area for a full 24 hours. Even after a full day, the concrete is still technically setting and highly delicate. When flipping the mold upside down to release the stone, handle it with extreme gentleness. 4. Final Curing and Customization Once successfully popped out of the molds, the stepping stones should cure for several more days before being placed in the soil or walked upon. You will notice the concrete lighten in color as it completely dries. Once fully cured, the raised, flower-like patterns can be customized with outdoor masonry paint and finished with a clear concrete sealer to protect against rain, frost, and fading. Essential Safety Protocols Working with cement compounds requires proper precautions to protect physical health: Respiratory Protection: Always wear a well-fitted dust mask or respirator when pouring and mixing dry concrete. Inhaling airborne cement dust can cause severe irritation to the lungs and respiratory tract. Skin Barrier: Wear heavy-duty rubber gloves. Wet concrete is highly alkaline and can draw moisture rapidly out of the skin, leading to chemical burns or severe irritation upon prolonged contact. Eye Safety: Utilize protective safety goggles while mixing to eliminate the risk of dust or wet cement splashing into the eyes. The Benefits of DIY Stepping Stones Cost-Effective Landscaping: Ready-made decorative pavers are notoriously expensive. This method creates premium, visually captivating garden paths for a fraction of retail prices. Sustainable Upcycling: Giving a second life to single-use or old plastic party trays keeps non-biodegradable materials out of landfills. Elevated Curb Appeal: The unique shapes inherent to deviled egg and veggie trays naturally mimic sunbursts and floral blooms, adding a whimsical, high-design aesthetic to backyard flowerbeds, side yards, and garden walkways. Whether aiming to create a uniform path using a single mold style or looking to mix and match different floral shapes for an organic, curated look, this project is a flawless way to elevate an outdoor living space.

@Apex_willye Not to defend Netflix or anything, but holy fuck that show was TERRIBLE

So Netflix had their own version of The Boys…then canceled it after one season💀 Typical Netflix

You don't want to have too many assassination attempts or people might become desensitized to them like mass shootings.

@Mahande @LucasSa56947288 Well so now we know he's as good at leadership as he is at being a husband 🤦 which ranks right up there with how great you were at picking a president 🤷

@LucasSa56947288 Literally no one gives a shit. I voted for him because he would be good leadership for our country, not because he's a good husband. I don't give a fuck about his personal life.

Megyn Kelly: “Trump cheated on every wife. He met Marla Maples while he was married to the mother of his children Ivana. Ivana accused him of raping her. He winds up with Melania and if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, you’ve got bigger issues”

@DavidJo95663368 @LucasSa56947288 Serious question, is your stupidity a choice or was there some sort of horrific accident that gave you brain damage?

@LucasSa56947288 And of course you have irrefutable PROOF and EVIDENCE of his cheating on Melania, right? There’s a military acronym that was created just for women like Megyn Kelly: Combat Unit Non Tactical

@ClistonBrown @erichc21 Feels like Reganomics was the beginning of the end of wealth equality and the primary driving factor of how we ended up where we are today. Trickle down should have knocked him down MUCH lower.

@erichc21 Ford didn’t really have that many notable accomplishments. Reagan’s foreign diplomacy was A+ level, so that brought him up.

I have often been asked where I would rate certain presidents. So I sat down and reviewed the top achievements of all 43 men who served in the office for longer than six months. If they had a major scandal or failure, I dropped them a bit. Here’s how I ended up rating them: (1/)

@tedcruz Do you ever get tired of being a hypocritical piece of shit? Cause Jesus Christ, Trump has talked so much shit about your dad AND your wife, veterans, immigrants, Americans, black people, Mexicans. HE'S ALL OVER THE EPSTEIN FILES... But you're worried about Platner? GTFO🤬

Why are Dems standing with this guy? He can insult women, Blacks, Jews & veterans, but he’s a Democrat so—as Elizabeth Warren puts it—he’s “my kind of man!”

The difference between Iran and Vietnam is that Trump knew how to get out of Vietnam.

@theliamnissan Man it's gonna be SO embarrassing when we find out it REALLY was Jesus, and he had finally returned to stop the Antichrist... And was of course immediately killed by an assault rifle 🙆 🤷🤦 😂

So this latest White House shooter was a mentally ill man who had many encounters with police and thought he was Jesus Christ. Only in America can a man like that obtain a gun. Thanks, Republicans

@GordonShephard2 @growing_daniel Shhhh... At this point we could use a little (or a lot) of Darwin's Natural Selection to thin the herd out 🤷

@growing_daniel You need to be careful - lot of people will take this post a lot face value…

A snake showed up in our backyard yesterday. Instead of panicking, I sent this photo to my OpenClaw. It identified it as a harmless gopher snake, gave me a local number to call to confirm, and suggested ways to catch it to make it a pet for the kids. I have small moments like this everyday now, usually less dramatic, that remind me how AI has made daily life feel a little more magical.

@DerekTru @Variety There were 3 tv channels then and no other content... It was also before networks panicked and helped usher in the demise of broadcast TV by moving all their content to streaming. But you either already knew that and just couldn't help shit posting, or you're a fucking idiot 🤷

@Variety Pathetic from a historical standpoint. It really exposes the failures.

The series finale of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” drew 6.74M viewers on Thursday night, making it the most-watched weeknight episode in the show’s history. • The finale was up sharply from the show’s 2026 Q1 average of 2.69M viewers • It’s also above “The Late Show” series premiere on Sept. 8, 2015, which averaged 6.55M viewers • The most-watched episode remains Colbert’s post-Super Bowl broadcast on Feb. 7, 2016, which drew 20.55M viewers variety.com/2026/tv/news/t…

@realjacobsrival @TVietor08 "No evidence" 😂😂😂

@gaston213 @TVietor08 There is no evidence that Trump is a pedophile. He also very obviously isn’t one.

Sorry folks I’m skipping my son’s wedding to eye fuck Jaxon over there.

@MayKelly @SpencerHakimian Yeah being a pedophile really ages a person 🤷

@SpencerHakimian What would YOU look like if YOU had to run the country and if you knew everything he knows?

Photo from today.

@realjacobsrival @TVietor08 ALMOST as weird as Republicans being totally cool with pedophiles now 🤷

@TVietor08 Just weird how liberals have become the creepy homophobes now.

@TVietor08 The Daily Show put together a supercut of all the gay shit he's been saying lately that is quite funny x.com/i/status/20577…

@GitauKE @HumansNoContext Came to the comments JUST to make sure someone posted this lol

@HumansNoContext Family guy have a version of this too..

this is one of my favorite videos ever

@PeterTwinklage Daily Show put together a supercut of all the gay shit he's been saying lately that was pretty funny. x.com/i/status/20577…
