Life is short: Buy the beach house, the 911 & the shoes. Adopt a pet. Just random musings from a land-locked beach bum. Yeah, it could be my fault.

@HistorianUSA1 Why are we still asking this question???!!! For the record, I would have hired him on the spot for an honest answer that wasn’t over-rehearsed.

😂🍪 This dude just walked out of a job interview and immediately recorded this in his car.
He knew the “biggest weakness” question was coming… brain completely short-circuited… and instead of the safe “I care too much” answer, he hit them with:
“Oreos. I’ll eat ‘em until the milk’s gone. Could be two, could be twelve.”
The way he says it with that deadpan delivery and then just accepts his fate is SENDING me.
Man, I genuinely feel bad for the guy… but I’m also dying laughing. We’ve ALL had that one moment in an interview where your brain just yeets itself out the window. Kid’s still out here job hunting. Somebody hire this absolute legend before he stress-eats the entire Oreo aisle.
Who else has completely bombed a “what’s your weakness” question?

@OCpatriot_ Mine went out under warranty. Plumber who initially installed it ordered part and requested overnight shipping for $25. Took more than a week to get the part, then he tried to charge $375 to replace it, with $25 of that to cover overnight shipping that didn’t happen!

Water heater died last night. 5 yrs old, still under warranty.
Called Manufacturer, they said they'd send parts, but that'd be 4-6 days. Couldn't leave my family without hot water that long.
So I called local repair company, they'd been there 5 minutes when they quoted me $1,100 to fix it. Wouldn't break it down to parts and labor until I leaned on them hard.
- $300 parts
- $800 labor
For 30-40 minutes of work. For a water heater that cost me $700 with sales tax.
I called the manufacturer back and told them the situation and that I planned on buying a new unit at The Home Depot and install it myself (I'd installed my current one).
Rheem said no problem, take your old one with you and we'll give you full credit towards your new one.
With the military discount from my buddy that was helping me, I was out of pocket a whole $65 when it was all said and done, and even traded up a model with a longer warranty.
Thank you Rheem, thank you Home Depot.
Fuck off predatory appliance repair companies.

@Vikes_Dawgs Not just read them; live them. Not sure either is possible. This statue looks like Trump as Elvis (with apologies to Elvis) 🤔

I'm starting to see why they want the Ten Commandments back in school.
They need to read them...

@Vikes_Dawgs Saw him in Charleston (and in the airport on the way there 🤦♀️), the Ryman and going to see him with Scotty at The Caverns in August. Incredible musician, storyteller and human being; I could listen to him all day!

Mac is amazing! Go see him somewhere!

@RpsAgainstTrump How does one make sure they do NOT get one of these when they apply for a passport? I’d hate for the rest of the world to judge me for that 😳
English

According to Edward Kolla, a professor at Georgetown University and an expert on the history of passports, the decision to include the image of the president on the passport is “wacky.” No modern U.S. passport has featured the image of a sitting president, and no foreign passport has featured “the head of state of any country,” thebulwark.com/p/exclusive-st…

Remember that Don Jr. has financial ties to both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market.
Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight state attempts to regulate prediction markets.
Follow the money.

“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?” TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼 And there you have it, folks!

@MeghanMcCain Trump and Texas fired the first shot. Should everyone else just roll over and play dead? 🤷♀️ Virginians, including the Rs and all income levels, chose how they want their state to be represented.

@DailyBuffettX Jimmy taught us so many life lessons! Most of us will never perform barefoot on a stage in front of thousands of sometimes weirdly-dressed fans, but we can seek joy and awe, see the good side, and chase our dreams. That’s how we #keepthepartygoing 🦜🦈🫧

Instead of a Triumphal Arch, shouldn’t it be a Trumphal Bone Spur?

@Vikes_Dawgs Not surprised. If it helped me, I’d gladly give it back to help restore sanity!

@shakerofthought Well, I finished about 11 pm...and i do not see the effects of the One Big Bullshit Bill helping me
English

@Vikes_Dawgs Sadly, yes! And I hear the “big beautiful bill” means we all get a bigger refund (or owe less) so you better get on it 😂
