I can strum a few cowboy chords and be happy. The first time I could make a barre chord that wasn’t a clunker, I was thrilled. If you have no big ambitions as a guitarist, any day just sitting and noodling around is a joy.

@RealJamesWoods Travis picking a solid choice. There are also variations on the classic thumb pick that would keep you from having to hold it in place (and potentially aggravate previous injuries). 30+ year guitar teacher here - long standing hand injury or overuse is a difficult to overcome.

⚡ The woman in that photo is being used as a political prop by the NYT and she probably doesn't even know it. The framing wants you to feel outrage at the cruelty of the cuts. But the actual data point buried in the story is devastating to the narrative it's trying to build. 272k for a senior VP at a USAID-funded nonprofit is not a real salary. It's a subsidy. That job existed inside a closed loop: taxpayer money flows to USAID, USAID funds NGOs, NGOs hire professionals at inflated rates, those professionals build lives around compensation that was never stress-tested against the open market. The entire salary was a function of proximity to the spigot. Not output. Not value creation. Not demand for her specific skills. The $19/hour number isn't the system being cruel. It's the system being honest for the first time. The market is saying: without the government funding stream, your skills at 57 command 39k. That's the real price. The 272k was the fiction. And here's what nobody in that thread will say: there are tens of thousands of people in the DC metro area alone sitting in exactly this position right now. Government-adjacent professionals whose entire compensation structure was built on a funding model that is being unwound. Not by AI, not by automation, but by simple political reallocation. And the market is going to reprice every single one of them. The deeper pattern is that an entire class of professional jobs in America were never real market jobs. They were artifacts of institutional spending that created its own employment ecosystem. Government, corporate middle management, DEI departments, compliance layers, consulting firms that exist to service other consulting firms. The whole structure was a series of jobs that existed because the money existed, not because the work needed doing at that price. That structure is now being compressed from multiple directions simultaneously. AI from one side. Spending cuts from another. Corporate efficiency mandates from a third. And the professional class that built its identity, its mortgages, its kids' tuitions, its retirement plans around those salaries is about to discover what the open market actually thinks they're worth. That's the repricing. This woman is just the first photo to go viral.

"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…

With the SPLC revelations I think we need to ask ourselves how many other left wing anti hate organizations are really just Jussie Smollett style staged operations to frame the right. I will now call these operations Smollett Operations.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) just got MIC DROPPED on national television BARTIROMO: Are you suggesting OBAMA's leadership on Iran was better? KHANNA: Yes! BARTIROMO: "There were 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah. Between 2014 and 2016, that was a total of $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion, he told Congress, was frozen Iranian assets. There was a backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active for 2012 to 2024." "This was after he left office. So it was almost like a shadow government! He also sent pellets of CASH in a plane to Iran." "Now, why would you send money to Iran KNOWING that they are building a nuclear weapon and they are the leading sponsor of terrorism?!" BRUTAL. H/t @RNCResearch

⚡️This account has been calling the Iran conflict end to end. Strikes in January. Months before they happened. Ceasefire when the entire establishment was pricing endless war. Oil up, then oil down. Called both. The deal itself. Before anyone thought it was on the table or even possible. The news cycle is downstream of this timeline. Everyone else is commentary. This is the signal.

@MiniTourLoser @DirtyTesLa @mikepat711 @brandenflasch I was told at work my car gives them the ick. They happe to work in HR. you can’t reason with these folks. But I too had the same fear and didn’t park my car in certain places during the “key Teslas” era. I just love the truck and want to be left alone.

Yeah, man. During all of the Elon and DOGE stuff I was getting it really bad where I live. Lol. I had people hitting my car with cups of pop and stuff like that. Things that are technically less, but pretty weird to experience. I am definitely in the camp of just not wanting the smoke at this point.

Hard but true answers to the question about why CT isn’t doing volume: 1) Because it is too expensive. 2) Because people hate the way it looks. 3) Because it attracts too much attention and people don’t want to deal with it, even though they like it. 4) They low-key like the way it looks, but are still too embarrassed to own it because of the way it looks. 5) Because it is a target politically for some stupid reason. These are all reasons I’ve heard talking to people in my travels. I’d say being too embarrassed to own it because of how it looks is the most common thing I hear.

@SawyerMerritt I think we can all agree by now that if Tesla had a “normal looking” truck they would be selling more of them. If the Cybertruck is the best, why is nobody buying it?
