Mr. Fudgie

@Daniel_Rapaport He’s upset because he can’t drive it all over the planet and get away with it.

Rory McIlroy: "I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it's a sign of a not-great setup...it hasn't really enabled anyone to separate themselves. It's easy to make a ton of pars...it feels like bogey's the worst score you're going to shoot on any one hole."

@Galtslaststand @zachmelloh26 This asshole has it all figured out. Until we get a bear market.

$4 million in 401k. Assume 35 percent state local tax. You’re left with $2,600,000. Or you have $2,600,000 in Roth. That’s after tax. Which means you still had to make $4 million. Also, Roth has income restrictions. You’re a “Nietzche Financial Analyst: They muddy the water to make it seem deep.” You also fail to mention your 1 percent fee. That’s $26k per year x 30 years, assuming 7 percent compounded, cost client around $2.5 million. Or client can put all their money in an S and P index fund and never hire you! Boom. I just made that client richer by millions.

Mike retired at 54 with $ 4.1M. He had done everything “right”: • Maxed out his 401(k) • Saved consistently for 30+ years • Paid off his home • Avoided debt But:

@2Agiant @GuntherEagleman You and I the only non morons in this thread.

@GuntherEagleman Isn’t he the same guy that said that we the people don’t need to own an AR-15?

Eric Church on writing his viral UNC commencement speech: “Trial and error. Frustration. One night I picked up my guitar just to get away from it… hit all six strings and thought, what if I made the whole speech out of this?” Then he dropped timeless truth: Faith. Family. Spouse. Community. Resilience. Individuality. These aren’t new ideas — they’re the foundation blocks that built strong lives for generations. But today? Kids are glued to phones, YouTube, and gaming. No filter. So he used the guitar to cut through the noise and actually reach them. Real. Personal. Rooted. Exactly why this speech is blowing up. Country music still delivering the medicine America needs. Respect, Eric

@GuntherEagleman Fck him. He mandated Covid vax for his concerts.

@ChrisMartzWX The “scientists” that are paid to agree or put out the study.

Which scientists? Sounds like BS to me.

@GuruAnaerobic @CoachDanGo Nordics? I’d say most underrated. When was the last time you saw someone do nordics in the gym?

@CoachDanGo Nordics or hamstring curls

What’s the most overrated exercise on the planet?

@ClayTravis Can’t disagree. Way to fix it is to get better.

The Dolphins, Raiders, Titans, Jets and Cardinals all got zero primetime games. This is the definite list of NFL sadness. An entire league focused on as many primetime games as possible has decreed that these five teams stink so bad the nation shouldn’t be required to watch them.

@HankHaney @ericchurch Same guy who wanted people to be vaxxed to go to his concerts. Screw him.

Watched this 4 times, incredible life messages from an incredibly talented man @ericchurch

@benwehrman So stupid. The earth is not flat, it’s curved and that’s why it’s not a straight line.

Anyone who's flown to Europe or Asia from USA (or vice versa) knows that when you watch the in-flight tracker screen, it shows you're making a giant rainbow-arc shape over Greenland/Alaska. You've probably wondered: "That's weird, why don't they just fly in a straight line? Wouldn't that be the easiest, most fuel-efficient way to get from point A to point B?" Don't worry - you are not crazy! Here's what's actually going on with these nonsensical flight paths, explained by Terry Eicher 👇

@ChartShark22 Thank you

June 7th-June19th we get top, likely a nice 5-8% dip, rapid recovery and new ATH again before Q4 smackdown $SPY Tick Tock

10/11/2026 10/29/2026 Those are my key target dates for $SPY drop commencing There is a slim chance of an Aug 29th / June 22nd date but much smaller. Who's ready for a 35-40% clip after this impulse rally?

#ZCASH at $613 Rt if I made U $$$$$$$$ #GG33

@GarageStrength Isn’t this the same as the front squat?

Most gym goers and athletes have probably never done this movement. This is genuinely one of the best full body exercises that exists. The zombie squat is going to increase strength in multiple different large muscle groups, all while greatly improving your mobility and form.

@realpeteyb123 @DowdEdward You’re early. Won’t start until August.

I’m in cash in trading accounts, and believe a long prolonged bleed will commence this month into fall. The pitch. The Iran conflict will bring an oil problem that could drop us into a 20-30% correction. That lines up with most midterm cycles of the past. Affordability is a problem and anyone that says otherwise is either too rich and completely out of touch. I’m long kids accounts and retirements, I believe we storm out of the summer / fall drop and rip into new highs in 2027 as American innovation cannot be stopped. AI, nuclear, and everything energy is real. That doesn’t mean it’s good for humanity, this is strictly a finance post. I just like to share my thoughts after 30+ years of trading and investing. I’ll be making generation purchases again at the lows. People ask me about bitcoin, I don’t ever sell or trade that. It just sits and builds I do believe we retest the lows though this summer, I don’t believe we go lower than them. These are my thoughts. Don’t be upset, and always buy and hold long term.

@ngdpc1 Me too. Gonna have to start wiping my ass with my hand.

Went down the ingredients-in-toilet-paper rabbit hole today and probably should’ve avoided that one.

@anymanfitness Not true at all but obviously playing more helps. Kids with natural talent will Always make their way onto the field.

Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@ChartShark22 Pole shift?

For centuries, people sought out the south and the coast properties for their heat, beauty and lifestyle. With what is to come in the next 2-3 decades, they will seek the North and high elevations to escape the coming climate reversal.

@ClassicSwingX @TheGolfDivoTee I thought it was tiger at first

@TheGolfDivoTee Looks oddly like Tiger as well. 🧐

A very nice painting of Ben Hogan by Tom Gaskill and signed by him - Yours for just £225.

@iamSauceGardner Don’t buy American cars.

my Escalade V locked up while i was driving. they said it needs a new engine. it is a 2026 with 2k miles on it... how is this even possible?

THYROID HEALTH and SIBO are deeply intertwined If you have SIBO, your thyroid is involved. If you have hypothyroidism, your gut is involved. Here's how they're connected: Absorption Your thyroid needs certain nutrients to produce hormone and convert T4 (the inactive form) to T3 (the active form). Selenium: required for the enzymes that convert T4 to T3 Zinc: needed for TSH production and T4 to T3 conversion Iron: required for the enzyme that actually makes thyroid hormone Tyrosine: the amino acid needed thyroid hormone itself Iodine: the raw material for T4 and T3 When the gut is inflamed, overgrown, or damaged (leaky gut, SIBO, H. pylori, parasites, low stomach acid), absorption of these nutrients is much lower. T4 to T3 Conversion About 20% of T4 is converted to T3 in the gut, specifically by healthy gut bacteria. When the microbiome is disrupted, that conversion drops. This is why people on T4-only medication (Levothyroxine, Synthroid) can still feel terrible despite normal TSH. Their gut isn't converting it properly, so they have plenty of inactive hormone and not enough active hormone. Inflammation Gut inflammation causes systemic inflammation. Inflammation directly suppress thyroid function in multiple ways: -They reduce TSH output from the pituitary -They block T4 to T3 conversion -They increase reverse T3 (the inactive form of T3) -They reduce thyroid hormone receptor sensitivity at the cell level So even if you're producing thyroid hormone, you can't use it properly when gut inflammation is high. Now getting into how thyroid affects gut health: Slowed Motility Your small intestine has a cleansing wave called the migrating motor complex (MMC). It sweeps through every 90 to 120 minutes between meals, pushing bacteria and leftover food debris down and out of the small intestine. Thyroid hormone is needed for this to work effectively. When thyroid is low, the MMC slows down. Instead of bacteria being swept out, they continue to colonize. Studies have shown hypothyroid patients have significantly higher rates of SIBO than the general population. Slow motility allows: -Fungal overgrowth, usually Candida -Methane overgrowth (archaea, which cause constipation-dominant SIBO) -Parasites -H. pylori Low Stomach Acid Thyroid hormone is required for the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid. Stomach acid is your first line of defense against pathogens. When food comes in, HCl is supposed to kill the bacteria, fungus and parasites. When stomach acid is low: -Bacteria and fungi pass through alive and colonize further down -Food doesn't break down properly, leaving undigested material that feeds overgrowths -Protein digestion fails, which later starves the gut lining of repair materials -The signal to release pancreatic enzymes and bile goes down This is a huge cause of overgrowths. Reduced Bile Flow Bile is antimicrobial and helps keep the small intestine clean. Thyroid hormone affects bile production in the liver and gallbladder motility. Sluggish bile means: -Less antimicrobial activity in the small intestine -Poor fat digestion (which can cause nutrient deficiencies) -Bile stagnation in the gallbladder -Toxins that should be excreted get recirculated This is why hypothyroid patients have gallbladder issues and why bile support is necessary for good gut protocol. Immune Function in the Gut The gut is the home to the immune system; it produces secretory IgA, which is your defense in the gut. Thyroid hormone is required for proper immune function. Low sIgA means the gut can't defend itself against pathogens, opportunistic bacteria, fungi, and parasites. I see this on my clients labs all the time; low sIgA, multiple overgrowths, and thyroid issues all coming back. Tissue Repair The gut lining turns over every 3 to 5 days. Rapid cell turnover requires energy and raw materials. Thyroid hormone drives metabolic rate. Low thyroid means slower cellular repair everywhere, including the gut lining. So the damage caused by overgrowths heals more slowly, leaky gut persists longer and inflammation stays high. Constipation Low thyroid slows the large intestine too, not just the small intestine. This causes toxins and hormones to get reabsorbed. This creates: -More estrogen recirculation (worsens hormonal issues) -More toxins -A better environment for methane-producing organisms, which slow motility even more To sum it up: When your thyroid is low, your motility slows, your stomach acid drops, your bile gets sluggish, your gut immunity weakens, and your tissue repair slows down. This creates the perfect environment for bacterial, fungal overgrowths to happen. Those overgrowths then cause inflammation, block nutrient absorption, and damage your gut lining. Now your thyroid can't get the nutrients it needs, T4 to T3 conversion fails, and the immune system is compromised. This is why you can't fix one without addressing the other. You can kill the SIBO with a perfect protocol, but if the thyroid is still not functioning well, it can come right back. And you can take thyroid medication, but if the gut is inflamed you won't absorb nutrients or convert hormones. This is another example of how truly healing requires a COMPREHENSIVE and HOLISTIC approach. Isolating and treating individual symptoms rarely ever result in truly healing.
