Daughter: “I was having sex with my boyfriend when my mother called me and said she had something important to tell me.”
Mother: “I hope you haven’t slept with that boy.”
Daughter: “Mum, why would you ask me that?”
Mother: “Just answer me. Have you?”
Daughter: “Yes. We’re in a serious relationship. What’s the problem?”
Mother: “Pack your things and leave that house immediately.”
Daughter: “What? Why?”
Mother: “Because that boy is not who you think he is.”
Daughter: “Mum, you’ve never liked any man I’ve dated.”
Mother: “I’m not joking. Ask him who paid for his university education.”
Daughter: “He said his uncle paid.”
Mother: “Ask him again.”
Daughter: “Babe, who actually paid your school fees?”
Boyfriend: “Why is your mother asking you that?”
Daughter: “Just answer me.”
Boyfriend: “Your father did.”
Daughter: “MY FATHER?”
Mother: “Now ask him why your father has been paying his rent for the past five years.”
Boyfriend: “Please, let me explain.”
Daughter: “Mum, what is happening?”
Mother: “Your father didn’t help that boy out of kindness. He made him promise something before he gave him a single naira.”
Boyfriend: “I was supposed to marry you.”
Would you continue the relationship after discovering your own father had arranged it years before you met him?

BREAKING: Abdul El-Sayed is expected to require ALL Michigan Elementary school students to learn ARABIC numerals.
As a Jewish American I still support this 100%.

I wish that the collective we could process just how damaging and dangerous aloneness in infancy and childhood really is. Isolation threat is one of our greatest injuries that is really hard to heal.

When two people believe opposite things, chances are that one of them is wrong. It pays to find out if that someone is you.
That’s why I believe you must appreciate and develop the art of thoughtful disagreement.
In thoughtful disagreement, your goal is not to convince the other party that you are right—it is to find out which view is true and decide what to do about it. #principleoftheday

Trump will REMAIN President, but what he CAN'T do now:
1. *Can't pass any law:*
Needs Parliament. With Democrats at 90, all his bills will be blocked.
2. *Can't get money:*
Parliament controls the budget. No funding for his MAGA projects, Wall etc.
3. *Faces Impeachment Risk:* Democrats can start investigations and even move impeachment.
4. *Can't appoint Judges/Officials freely:* Senate will block his picks.
5. *Can't do big foreign deals:*
Trade deals, war funding needs Parliament nod.
In short: He will stay in the White House, sign Executive Orders, but Parliament and Courts can overturn them.
He becomes a *Lame Duck President* - President in name, powerless in reality.

Most people are still using AI the wrong way.
They ask it questions.
Elon Musk just pointed at the right way.
Yesterday, Jason Ginsberg wrote: "Treat Grok Bot like a teammate and give @bot an ambitious task you'd normally give to a new hire."
Elon's answer: "This is the way."
Three words. A whole shift in how we work.
Here's what that looks like in real life.
Scott Billows runs a business with a very traditional sales cycle. Deals that take months to cultivate.
He pointed Grok Bot at his company's tools.
It dug through the past. Surfaced old prospects and customers nobody was calling anymore. Handed them to his sales reps.
Two weeks in, a closed deal.
His words: "Without Grok Bot we most likely would not have reached out to this past customer."
Think about that.
Not a faster search. Not a smarter autocomplete. Not a chatbot.
A teammate that found money hiding in plain sight.
Everyone thought AI would be a better answer machine.
It's actually a new kind of colleague.
Elon put it plainly back in October: "assume you are hiring a super competent employee."
Not a tool you open. Someone you hand the job to.
The team keeps adding powers. Product pages. Order tracking. Payments. Team Bots your whole company can share.
Every week the job description gets longer.
Here's the part almost nobody sees yet.
For all of history, having a team was a privilege. Only the rich, the big companies, the well-connected could delegate.
Everyone else did everything alone.
That wall is falling.
A small shop owner. A single parent. A sailor at sea. Anyone can now say: "Here's the mission. Go."
When everyone gets a team, everyone becomes a builder.
And a civilization of builders doesn't stay small for long.
Stop asking AI questions.
Give it a job.

🚨 BREAKING: The US House has just PASSED a bill that FORCES states -- including Minnesota and California -- to hand over ANY AND ALL information demanded by the Attorney General to investigate FRAUD against federal programs
Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, unemployment insurance, various COVID-era funds, broadband grants, disaster assistance, and more are ALL included.
Newsom is NOT going to be happy 🤣
Expose it ALL, @AGToddBlanche! 🔥

As a gay man, I'll say what a lot of us are thinking.
We fought to be left alone. To marry the man we love, keep our jobs, and live a quiet life.
We won.
Then woke activists took our letters, stapled on a dozen causes we never signed up for, and started calling us bigots for saying sex is real.
That isn't our movement anymore.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

As a gay man, it is exhausting to watch what used to be a movement about same-sex attraction get completely hollowed out.
Gay used to mean something clear. Men who are attracted to men. Women who are attracted to women. That was the entire point. Now it has been buried under layers of gender ideology, identity politics, and a demand that we rewrite our own orientation to make other people comfortable.
I am constantly told that if I am not attracted to a woman who identifies as a man, or a man who identifies as a woman, I am bigoted. That my sexual boundaries are a form of discrimination. That “trans men are men” and therefore belong in gay male spaces, dating pools, and communities. This is not inclusion. It is a direct attack on the reality of same-sex attraction.
The same institutions that once claimed to fight for gay people now treat actual gay men and lesbians as the problem if we refuse to play along. Corporate Pride has become a vehicle for this ideology, not a celebration of us. The language has shifted so far that many young people no longer even understand what gay means.
I do not need a parade or a rainbow logo to validate my existence. I need the freedom to live as a gay man without being pressured to deny biological reality or accept opposite-sex partners under a new label.
The people pushing this did not liberate us. They colonized the movement and turned it against the very group it claimed to represent.

You aren’t buying Google at 10% off tomorrow.
You’re buying a 3.5 trillion company that is up 100% over the last 18 months and directly tied to the incoming AI meltdown.
With its core business getting eaten alive. I haven’t used google search in 6 months and YouTube has turned into TikTok garbage.
Very bearish.

I sat my husband down and told him I don’t enjoy sex with him anymore.
I said it plainly. I’d rehearsed it in the shower for a week.
I said, “It feels like a chore.”
He didn’t argue.
He nodded slowly, the way he does when someone reads him a budget.
“Okay,” he said. “Thank you for telling me.”
That was it.
I expected a fight. I expected him to slam a door.
He opened his laptop.
I thought, he’s ignoring me. Again.
The next morning my phone buzzed at 7:12am.
A calendar invite.
“Thursday, 9:00pm. Duration: 1 hour. Location: Bedroom.”
Under description, he’d written:
“Per your feedback.”
I stared at it for a full minute.
I texted him: “Is this a joke?”
He replied: “No. You said it feels like a chore. I’m taking it seriously.”
Taking it seriously.
He’d added a reminder 24 hours before.
Then a second one, two hours before.
On Thursday at 8:58pm, he stood in the doorway with his phone in his hand.
“I’m on time,” he said.
I laughed, and then I stopped, because he wasn’t laughing.
He truly believed he’d solved it.
