Proof that these people are not the smartest in our society. Everyone knows you can get couches, TVs and all sorts of furnishings for almost no money if you join buy nothing groups, go thrifting or to estate sales. These are just losers, man.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars.
If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

Dieting and successfully keeping the weight off has a ridiculously low success rate
Let’s celebrate medical advances that enable life to be easier

19 of 20 horses descended from Secretariat yet YOU think putting YOUR kids in year-round travel sports will be the reason you don’t have to pay for their college?

The most terrifying thing about Noah's ark is the fact that adults still believe it actually happened.

Good reminder that if Dems had won the house, they would be in the minority because so many of members keep dying of old age. But if you point this out it’s because you hate old people

I love having to re-fight battles we won 568 times already. Very cool. Very normal.

It is literally illegal for Millennials to raise children the way Boomers and Xers raised children.
Millennials are not the ones who made it illegal as they were children at the time.

Tennis is also played mostly by upper middle class people with better socioeconomical benefits and advantages, like higher disposable income, better healthcare access, less stress etc… dont forget associations are not causations!

More sad news out of Ottumwa, where a healthcare facility closed and now a downtown landmark. Meanwhile, the legislature has proposed a bill that would require Iowa airports to serve alcohol for at least an hour before any flight takes off. Time to get state government focused on real problems. kcrg.com/2026/04/10/hotel-ot…

The Pope is deeply suspicious of thinking machines and believes in desert power
The sea and the desert have been places of mutual enrichment among peoples and cultures for millennia. Woe to us if we turn them into graveyards where even hope dies! Let us free these tremendous reservoirs of history and the future from evil! Let us denounce and remove causes for despair, and let us oppose those who profit from the misfortune of others!

The bike is wildly underrated for health & performance.
It solves a structural bottleneck: tissue tolerance.
Suddenly you're no longer limited by how much you can run before breaking down, but you’re limited by how much time you have.
Find your easy zone.
Spend hours there.

Daily reminder: Nixon wanted to be the American Messmer, constructing a fleet of 1,000 nuclear plants, making American a clean country from then all the way through to today.
If he had his way, we would have defeated climate change AND electricity bills.

A really interesting race to watch here.
Democrats are now projected to win the governorship of Iowa. This would be the first Democratic governor in Iowa since 2010.
In the last 16 years under Republican leadership, Iowa has:
- Dropped in education from top 5 to 20.
- Dropped in healthcare from 6 to 18.
- lowered life expectancy by a year.
- doubled the murder rate from 1.5 to 3.
- Infant mortality rate increase.
- Obesity increased.
- Adult literacy dropped.
