“… rule-breaking is only powerful when the rule-breaker is already powerful. A CEO in a hoodie, for example, reads as too brilliant to care. An entry-level employee in a hoodie, on the other hand, signals a lack of seriousness.”

“Maybe it’s time to finally stop ‘liking’ everyone else’s family plans and start loving our own.” Great piece from my pal @stephruhle.bsky.social
Opinion | A viral high school trend is turning up the heat. Let this be the holiday we finally take a break.
School is letting out and anxiety is spiking. Maybe it’s time to stop “liking” everyone else’s family plans and start loving our own.

Hard agree.
One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

"At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from the DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation."
EXPLANATION: The DOJ is engaging in a sloppy, ham-fisted coverup to protect rich pedophiles. That's why the files went missing.

Did no one else see the “Surviving Ohio State” documentary? How is Jim Jordan still in Congress?
Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
