CALLER: I put all my business expenses on an Amex card. I collect points and fly business class for free twice a year. The flights would cost me $8,000.
DAVE RAMSEY: Cut the card. Points are a trap to make you spend more!
CALLER: I spend the same amount either way. I just get $8,000 in flights free.
DAVE RAMSEY: Use a debit card and a budget!
CALLER: So give up $8,000 in free flights?
DAVE RAMSEY: That’s not how you get rich!
In reality, if your spending doesn’t change, travel rewards are free money. Full stop.
Every dollar matters.
Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:
"I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that."
"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."
"To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."
Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?
I just went through Elon Musk's page.
No word on the Artemis II crew's Moon landing or their beautiful Earth shots.
If this was done by SpaceX, he would have been talking about it nonstop.
The guy is petty.
Come on, celebrate a good thing even if it not done by your company.
😭 TRISTE NOTICIA:
Una mujer, al enterarse de que su marido ha descubierto su infidelidad y ha vendido su anillo de bodas, comienza a inventar excusas descabelladas...
Esposa: No encuentro mi anillo. ¿Sabes dónde podría estar?
Marido: ¿Te refieres a los anillos de boda?
Esposa: Sí. ¿Qué otros anillos llevaba puestos?
Marido: Mmm, tal vez alguien más lo tenga.
Esposa: ¿Qué significa eso? ¿Quién es ese?
Marido: No lo sé. Creo que lo compró después de que yo lo vendiera a la casa de empeños.
Esposa: ¿De qué estás hablando?
Marido: Vendí tu anillo.
Esposa: ¿Por qué?
Marido: Es porque me estás engañando.
Esposa: ¿De qué estás hablando?
Últimamente algo no anda bien contigo.
Esposa: ¿De qué estás hablando?
Esposo: ¿No te das cuenta de lo raras que son las cosas que haces? Llegas tarde a casa todos los días después del trabajo y mientes sobre adónde vas. Lo sé porque compartimos nuestra información de ubicación. Dices que vas a un bar, pero en realidad estás en casa, en una zona residencial, siempre.
Esposa: ¿Vas a vender mi anillo sin siquiera intentar hablar las cosas bien?
Esposo: No hace falta que preguntes. Tengo pruebas de que me estás engañando. Estás usando una cuenta de Tinder, ¿verdad?
Esposa: Pero aun así, no tienes derecho a vender mi anillo. Es mío.
Marido: No, es mío.
Esposa: No, es mío.
Esposo: Te lo di. Te lo di porque juraste que me serías fiel. Pero no has cumplido tu promesa. Así que no mereces el anillo. Ni tú me mereces a mí. Por eso voy a vender el anillo, contratar a un abogado con el dinero y solicitar el divorcio.
Esposa: ¿Estás bromeando, verdad?
Esposo: Esto no es ninguna broma. Hablo en serio. Un abogado se pondrá en contacto contigo, así que espera.
Esposa: Espera, ¿por qué? Eso es una gran exageración. Ni siquiera hemos oído nada todavía.
Marido: No hace falta que preguntes. Tengo pruebas.
Esposa: ¿Pero alguna vez has considerado que podrías ser tú la causa de esta situación?
Esposo: El motivo no importa. No justifica que traiciones a tu marido. Si tienes quejas, puedes hacer lo que quieras después de que nos divorciemos.
If you watch the full Joe Rogan x Theo Von podcast from today you can cut the tension with a knife. Theo will say something "left coded" and Joe will immediately take the opposite end of the stance, and challenge him over and over until Theo basically says "What are you doing?"
Andrew Garfield says he recently saw the ‘HARRY POTTER’ films for the first time but added that “we shouldn’t be putting money in the pocket of inhumane legislation right now through she that shall remain nameless.”
“But the soul and the spirit of a lot of the essence of the themes of those films, and the kids are so good.”

🚨#BREAKING: President Donald Trump’s signature is set to be added to U.S. dollar banknotes as part of a redesign commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Under this change, his signature would replace that of the U.S. Treasurer, whose signature has appeared on all U.S. currency since 1861
@elonmusk Why is Elon always referring to the Epstein case , I hope his name is not found there and is trying to psychologically win the people when he finally denies it .
Else why is he one of the most influential and powerful man talking about it .
We still don’t know what kind of ice cream Reid Hoffman told Epstein he was “bringing for the girls”.
I guess some things will always remain a mystery 🤷♂️
Too Turnt Tony used a drone to drop bait 200 yards offshore from a Florida beach, then hand-lined a blacktip shark while wearing socks.
Welcome to the 2026 fishing season.
In Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam, God's finger stretches fully outward, while Adam's finger is bent at the last joint. It illustrates that God is always present, but it is up to humans to take the initiative to connect with Him...
If the United States is at war, then Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. If the United States is not at war, then Pete Hegseth is a murderer.
I work in international laws for over 10 years. What Pete Hegseth ordered the military to do violates international law.
🚨 BREAKING: Melania just became the lowest-rated film IMDb has ever seen (1.1/10).
Lower than Saving Christmas.
Lower than Birdemic.
History was made. 😂😂😂
ICE is now tear-gassing children.
This took place on an Alex Pretti memorial bike ride and march in SW Portland.
This girl is believed to be 7-years-old.
@ShitpostRock Admittedly, I was at first dumb enough to think he actually meant hanging out with UN diplomats 🤣🤣
However, even after he clarified that he meant a party with young women “under age 25”, I still chose working on rockets and cars.
