My brain will randomly go nooo-ner-nooo-neeee-noooo from time to time.

There’s a weird shift happening with Gen X right now. We did everything we were told would make us successful. Worked hard. Stayed loyal. Put our heads down. Became dependable. Built careers. Bought homes. Raised families. Created lives that looked great on paper. We did what society said we were supposed to do. And for a long time, we believed the reward would be waiting at the end. But now a lot of us are in our 40s and 50s looking around and thinking: “I don’t want to do this forever.” It’s not that we’ve lost our work ethic. We still want money. We still have ambition. We still want to build things and achieve goals. What’s changed is our definition of success. These days, success looks less like another promotion and more like freedom. Freedom to choose how we spend our days. Freedom to say no. Freedom to be present with the people we love. Freedom to wake up without feeling like our lives are owned by a calendar. Because after decades of trading time for money, many of us have realized something important: Money can be earned again. Time can't. And once you understand that, you stop chasing status and start chasing your life back.

K-State may not have much to boast about in athletics. But you are looking here at a fuqing dynasty in crop judging.

I've coached over 30 Olympic gold medals. I've worked with some of the greatest athletes in history. Here are the lessons I wish more people understood:🧵

Why is it people think its ok to constantly try to get introverts out of their comfort zone - but no one is ever trying to get extroverts to shut the fuck up for a little while? 🤔

Until the budget deficit is eliminated, the government isn't making any profits.

On paper, I’m in my 50’s & it’s really confusing… In my head, I’m 35. At a concert, I’m 25 After 10pm, I’m 72. Getting up off the floor, I’m 93. When someone makes me mad, I’m 2 BUT- When an 80’s song comes on, I’m 17, drunk in a field, & my mom thinks I’m at a sleepover 🤪

Nothing wilder and scarier than a feral Lutheran! I also love that the college logo looks like a midcentury paperback cover.

A barn fire is a horse owners worst nightmare. If you can, please help out our friends and former neighbor who is dealing with just that tragedy today. gofund.me/7f48ac661

Can the @LVAces maybe add a few lights to the arena? This looks dim, flat, and boring on TV.

Using Bible verses to justify violence is not only the opposite of what Jesus teaches, it’s a direct contradiction of the passage Hegseth cites in this video. “Here am I, send me” was the prophet Isaiah’s response after being called by God to deliver a message to the people and their leaders. What was the message? “Your leaders are rebels, the companions of thieves. All of them love bribes and demand payoffs, but they refuse to defend the cause of orphans or fight for the rights of widows.” Isaiah 1:23 What were these corrupt and rebellious leaders doing? “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?” Isaiah 10:1-3 God is sending Isaiah to warn the people, and more specifically their leaders, that if they do not turn from their corrupt ways and begin caring for the most vulnerable among them, they will suffer God’s judgment. Isaiah answers that call by saying, “Here am I, send me.” This isn’t just about taking a few Bible verses out of context. For an administration filled corrupt leaders to claim these verses while perpetrating the very marginalization and oppression being condemned in this passage is the height of blasphemy.

Quite possibly the greatest OB vehicle of all time. Certainly the smoothest riding.

Activist: "Farmers pump their cows full of antibiotics. It's in every glass of milk." Dairy farmer: "Do you know what happens if it is?" Activist: "People drink it." Dairy farmer: "The tanker gets tested at the gate. One cow's worth of antibiotic in 20,000 litres and the whole load goes down the drain. Every farm on the run that morning gets their milk tipped, and the farm that did it pays for all of it." Activist: "So you're saying it never happens." Dairy farmer: "I'm saying a treated cow on this farm gets red tape round her leg, goes to the back of the parlour, and her milk goes in a bucket for 6 days. I treat her like she's radioactive, because financially she is." Activist: "You still use them." Dairy farmer: "On a cow that's ill. Same as you. The vet writes it up, the date goes on the wall, and the wall's checked. Use on this farm is about half what it was 10 years ago, and that's every dairy I know." Activist: "Routine use in feed, then." Dairy farmer: "Illegal for years. Growth promoters went 20 years ago. You're describing a chicken shed in a country I don't farm in." Activist: "You can't prove it's not in the milk." Dairy farmer: "I can prove it 3 times a week, because they test it 3 times a week and send me the sheet. When did you last get a sheet on your oat drink?" Activist: "That's different." Dairy farmer: "It is. Nobody tests it. Mine's the most inspected liquid in your kitchen and it's the one you're scared of."

In general, it’s a good idea to know who’s buying the drinks. mediaite.com/media/news/don-…

I am not so worried about artificial intelligence, I am more worried about natural stupidity.

very, very cold.

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

Happy 90th Birthday to Bobby Plump—the “real” Jimmy Chitwood! Bobby and the Mighty Men of Milan inspired the film Hoosiers—a story about basketball, second chances, and the state that loves the game like no other🏀
