NEW: THREAD: The VA is now asking employees to snitch on each other for "instances of anti-christian bias." You'll be rewarded with 30 pieces of silver (kidding). This is from an email from Doug Collins (I won't post screenshots in case there are irregularities used to identify leakers.) 1/

If you want some recommendations for dairy free life, holler.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Know who really misses out when we scroll all the time? The dogs. Put your phone down. It's for the pets.

I started a call today on five note. Takers joined but not one person

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

I find it fascinating that all of these people that claim to know the Bible so well don't see a lot of red flags and parallels right now to everything Jesus said *not* to do. Down to the king who killed him...

1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

TFW you finally do the dread task of calling the Department of Revenue and it's FUCKING GOOD FRIDAY AND THEY'RE CLOSED. That is all.

I find it very interesting that the USA.gov page explaining how a president gets impeached was updated just 2 days ago.

I thought having my website go down was bad until Zoom went down today and I pictured their help desk. Woof.

Know what phrase I really hate that some speakers love? "Juicy nuggets." Gross.

My Dad is a former military officer and gun store owner. I called yesterday to ask for a friend what type of gun to get for protection. Thought I'd share his wise advice. He said "buy a pump shotgun. You don't need the ammunition because anyone with any sense will leave when they see it."

Nothing makes me want to go back to IRL church like when the Livestream mic is not working.

Ope.

I have read way too much about history and wars to not be 100% petrified of what happens after these tariffs.

If you tell me you're a keynote speaker on influence, I listen and I judge. Of all the topics and ways you thought you'd help the world, you picked that? I know all I need to know...

After seeing a post from Kieran Snyder, I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of me at work. When it asked to clarify, I said, "Just take your best guess with everything you know about me" I'm sure it's kissing my ass now...

I like that we are bringing back the word "bullshit." It's not a bad word. It's an adjective. A noun. Sometimes even a verb. But we are going to call bullshit bullshit.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

If you have money for event organizers, space, and that nasty buffet - you have a couple bucks to pay your speakers.

I witnessed a miracle in the Midwest : people actually let the connections off without rushing out in front of them 🤯

Once they start gate checking bags, expect me to be the last body on the plane. There's no rush if it's not for overhead space. Seriously, why are people so aggressive to just... Be there?

I did not see one other person in Nashville wearing a mask. Know what I did see? A bunch of people that are sick AF. Make your choices accordingly.

If you ever wonder why a gate agent is annoyed, just remember that whatever question you asked - they have been asked that exact thing at least 12 times today.

This is the best thing I've read on skills based hiring in... ever talentstrategygroup.com/is-the-juice...

I told a tech company that I thought their job post product was snake oil and they... didn't shut down and get defensive? I know, I was surprised too. Then I realized the majority on this team isn't the bro-squad we're all used to seeing and it made more sense.

I love when we start to cheer for each other, for what's right, instead of cheering for politicians.

Today, I spoke in favor of my wife's, Rep Zooey Zephyr's, bill. HB798 would remove the ban on gay marriage in Montana, an outdated piece of code that hangs over all LGBTQ+ people's head. We love like everyone else. We have families like everyone else. Lets put this dark time in history behind us.

I want AI that hangs up the zoom call when I say "bye" and they say "bye" because that awkward 6 seconds it takes to hit leave is...well, awkward.

The best words a client can every say to me are "we want bold" when they sponsor a blog series. These folks will always get the best from me.

Being a Democrat right now feels like an abusive relationship. Republicans blame us for everything and we blame ourselves for everything.

All truth here. Worst part? They put up signs at parks near this devastation that say "Trump era infrastructure program" as if they're proud of leaving their supporters in limbo.

They want to desensitize you to injustice. Don’t let that happen

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

We live in a world so corrupt that having a social media platform ask "what women inspired you" felt like a remarkable gesture. Gross.

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

Foolishness is code for "you're a dumb motha f*cka"

The world is on fire, people are losing their jobs in droves, and LinkedIn is posting dancing llamas.

I'm not doomscrolling, I'm just sampling a buffet of farm-to-table panic attacks

I'm in an emotional cycle where the news makes me want to cry and then the feel-good small business story actually makes me cry. Repeat until I apply willpower and close the apps.

This.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

There's no better flight than the one from a warm destination to a cold one in the winter. Everyone has made bad decisions in the sun. Everyone is tired. Silence.
