They do these daily pay apps also. At jobs now. Can you believe this? Everything even your PAYCHECK is a loan they skim fees off of…everything is an app and algorithm now.

What’s the formula or equation they use for this shit? Do they tell you upfront? Why?

Skiers simply do not believe in knee problems until their legs fly off at the joint, it’s their one weird trick that doctors hate

honestly feels unbelievable: Lindsay Vonn attempted and completed her training run today, a week after tearing her ACL, hitting a top speed of 74 mph.
They haven't fixed her ACL, it's just flopping around in there. And her other knee is made out of titanium. Very literally built different

I think one thing white people tie ourselves in knots over about racism is what someone “feels in their heart” or whatever. And that just … doesn’t really matter? It’s the behavior that matters.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

the thing is the Gateway funding is just not something that can be negotiated on. it's our money. it's appropriated. attempting to trade it for something after it's been appropriated is merely acknowledging that the grounds for freezing it are wholly fictitious. in a sane world, it's impeachable.

i also told people two years ago to buy a cuban link chain because of their beautiful backstory involving cuban immigrants. in mid-2023, a 14k 8mm 22" gold cuban link necklace was about $4k. today, that same necklace is almost $10k.

if you took my advice, you would be rich
A screenshot of a post titled "Excited to Wear This Spring." The post was published June 1, 2023. The excerpt reads: "CUBAN LINK NECKLACE I’m a sucker for a good American story: the oxford cloth button-down and penny loafer as the sine qua non of the post-war Ivy look, the snap button Western shirt and cowboy boot as symbols of America’s mythologized past, and how blue jeans went from Gold Rush garb to Silicon Valley vêtement within 150 years. Similarly, no accessory better reflects the sparkling spirit of Americana than Cuban link chains, a story forged by Latin immigrants, Black hip-hop artists, and American street culture. Cuban jewelry came to the US with the arrival of Cuban exiles. In 1959, shortly after Castro overthrew the Batista’s regime and established a new government, millions of Cubans from diverse social positions fled to the US, first by boat and later by plane. Many of these émigrés worked as jewelers in their home country. And so, naturally, they made a life in the United States—many of them while based in Florida and especially Miami—crafting and selling gold jewelry. Cuban chains are distinguished by the tightness of their links. They’re made by twisting gold wires into a coil, which is then cut and linked into a simple chain. This chain is then wrenched flat and filed into its final form. It’s a beautiful process, but since clothing is just as much about semiotics as it is about craft, it took Black hip hop artists and street culture to give this style cultural meaning. When I was shopping for a gold necklace last year, I knew it had to be a Cuban link because of this album and film." A photo of a thick Cuban link necklace. A black and white photo of some Cuban immigrants awaiting processing in the mid-20th century. A screenshot showing how Cuban link prices have changed. In July 2023, an 8mm chain was about $4.5k. Today, the same chain is about $9.5k.

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

ski jump penis doping story only underscores the advantages of shape and drape over slim fit clothing

www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...
Excerpt from a Guardian story: "Norway’s head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and staff member Adrian Livelten were also banned for 18 months for their involvement in the scheme, which made the jumpers’ suits larger and therefore reduced their descent rate due to the bigger wingspan. One study in the scientific journal Frontiers found that every 2cm in suit size circumference reduced drag by 4% and increased lift by 5%. It said that a 2cm change in the suits was equivalent to an extra 5.8 metres in jump length. However Bild has now claimed that jumpers have switched to other methods to game the system when they are measured for their suits, data for which is taken by a 3D scanner from the lowest point of their genitals. They include injecting acid into their penises or putting clay in their underwear to make their measurements temporarily bigger and therefore their suits looser for when they compete. The newspaper quoted a doctor, Kamran Karim, who said: “It is possible to achieve a temporary, visual thickening of the penis by injecting paraffin or hyaluronic acid. Such an injection is not medically indicated and is associated with risks.”"
