financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

Sharing an excerpt of facebook screenshot of Amanda Gailey: As someone who uses Signal every day, I need to explain how totally committed to being an absolute dumbass multiple people had to be in order for this security leak to happen. Okay, so in Signal if you want to talk to multiple people you have to create a group and give it a name, for example "JD Vance Humps His Couch." You then add people from your contacts to the group. If you are a competent user of Signal, you can then restrict the permissions so that only designated admins can add people. If you are an absolute dipshit whose only job qualification is pwning the libs on Twitter, you would create a group about war plans and not know about or activate this functionality. If you are in a group and are allowed to add members, either because you are an admin or because the admin was raised on lead paint milkshakes, you then must do the following to add someone: Click on "JD Vance Humps His Couch" Scroll down to "Add Members." Select one or more people from your phone's contact list. Click "Update" Confirm that yes, you want to add that member. This is impossible to do accidentally. Then, once you have gone through the multi-step process of adding a member, an announcement appears on the screen for literally everyone in the group to see: "JD Vance Has Added Chairry to the Group." This sentence is a line in a single-stream text thread and if anyone is reading their messages they cannot miss it. (If they are not reading their messages, one might wonder why they have been included on the chat to begin with.) At this point, anyone can say in the chat or privately, Hey JD, why are you adding the bedroom-eyed plush chair from Pee-Wee's Playhouse to our chat about your upholstery problem? Yet nobody in the war bro chat said a thing about the new member added to the group.

This is art. 🤗

and I bought a Laker’s Luka jersey this week so go Birds and Lakers. double oof

Never thought I’d say it but go birds

this song is near perfection

today in north texas:
• 80 degree afternoon
• yard clean-up with the family
• 2 mile walk in the park
• grilled cheese & tomato soup

the joke writes itself again

yeah, i don’t feel fine #2025

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Wall Street on tariff policy:

And this is a big F you to Dirk Nowitzki and his legacy. He sacrificed so much late in his career to make way for Luka.

For AD and a 2029 pick! I can’t think of a bigger F you to Luka, the MFFLs, and the city of Dallas. I’m sick

Trading Luka like this is a serious gut punch. I’m trying hard to understand but I’ve got nothing.

DALLAS MAVERICKS: Hold our beer

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

What’s the point of Congress if their ability to make laws is essentially stripped away?

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Got passed on like John Stockton

Ok this took me a minute

What a world we live in

It only took four days for the rewatch. Everything about this show is just incredible. It deserves so much more attention.

The Walmart Effect New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.

"Walmart makes the places it operates in poorer than they would be if it had never shown up at all. Sometimes consumer prices are an incomplete, even misleading, signal of economic well-being."

Fascinating studies on the broader effects of Walmart:

Hate the Eagles. Hate pretzels. But this is dope!

Ummm, wow. Scorched earth.

I found my In Rainbows box set in with some old books! The album art is glorious and I realize now how beautifully it pairs with the music. A perfect album and timeless. #Radiohead

I remember paying $12.02 for the digital copy but also buying the physical box set. Feels like yesterday

Eight ways Mark Zuckerberg changed Meta ahead of Trump’s inauguration A week of upheaval at Meta: DEI, hate speech, politics, ahahahaha oh god

This is the same person who went all in on the metaverse. It was misguided then as is now
