If you are a nerd, and you start to get rich or famous, you need to get married immediately. If you are already rich or famous, you need to build up a robust system for resisting temptations. Most important, total openness and transparency with your wife.
JUST IN: Jensen Huang reportedly has no prenup, meaning a divorce could cost him $81 billion, the most expensive divorce ever.

Ugh, I hate this for the family. Another year and a half at minimum, and it’s always more in the legal system.
Breaking: Charlie Kirk murder trial is put on the calendar for June 21, 2028.

This is the right move. Skims makes great products generally. This was a bad product.
Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS is offering refunds for its $148 Advent Calendar following customer complaints. The company says it has personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar, offering them the choice of a full refund or SKIMS credit toward other products.

Obviously, I already sold mine, right after taking a dump on it bc I am nothing if not a model of moderate and mature intellectualism.

Talk to your kids and read to your kids! Bonus: It is fun and they say amazing things!
“primary parent smartphone screen time was significantly associated with slower receptive vocabulary growth” Parents are scrolling on their phones rather than talking to their kids

This makes baby No. 22 in our gal group since we came together during @bethanyshondark’s and @ElishaKrauss’s and my first pregnancies. What a joy to welcome every single new soul and to have so many wise women to talk to on this journey!

Now if we could all live in the same place, that’d be even better.

The timing here is incredible. 🤦‍♂️

Pray for these families and for your local first responders, who run toward danger.
Two Washington state sheriff’s deputies have been brutally killed while attempting to rescue hostages. Mason Acheson, 35, and Parker Perry, 29 are survived by their wives and two children each — and Perry’s wife is expecting their third child. Join us praying for their families—and honor these men by reading more about their incredible service to our country: spokesman.com/stories/2026/n…

This is the ideal radio DJ. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Becoming slightly obsessed with this video of an annoying afternoon drive-time radio DJ from the 80s. He kind of rocks

I moved 2500 miles to work for Harmeet, and spent 4 years working for her and got to know her pretty well (and we’ve had moments where we didn’t get along). Her patriotism and respect for the rights of people of all faith are beyond reproach, and it’s sad to see her attacked by people who pretend to have these values.
My husband watched me pray in our Sikh faith at the RNC — and one of our last text messages before he died a couple of weeks later was telling me he was so proud of me. He was supposed to be there, but he was also dying from two serious illnesses, and he could not make it at the last minute. Our medical staff at home took care of him while he watched me pray in our faith tradition -/ just as we did at home daily over each meal. All you trash who have denigrated my prayer to the ONE GOD many faiths believe in, deeply hurt me for the last two years, but I could not comment back because I was part of a campaign and then confirmation -/ administration. It’s over. I won’t be silent any longer. Go read the First Amendment and my extensive record on behalf of ALL people of faith in America. For 34 years. And then let’s measure our respective records on religious liberty. I welcome all comers who think they can prove they did more than I did for ALL people of faith in this country. There are none. I intend to keep fighting for ALL people of faith in America for the rest of my life. But I won’t hide my own faith for one second. It’s protected by our Constitution.

There’s a very funny moment when @Douthat60 asks Trump if he greenlit the Vance post and he says he told him to go for it, and Ross grins, as any writer would, and says “write what you feel?”

Actually CBS hired Ross, and gave him this assignment, understanding he would be awesome. So it’s not tough at all to praise them.
Tough time to say anything nice about CBS News, but this is the most substantive interview I've heard Trump give in years.
