Hate on California all you want, but I drove to the beach this afternoon, swam in the perfect water with my kids, got a tan, and was home by 7.

I'm going to tell you a little secret about Florida: "Palmetto Bug" is just a fancy name for a flying cockroach the size of your face. You're welcome.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis: Show us your laptop. Show us your iCloud. Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation. You won’t. You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out. That is not who we are. My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count. For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame. I no longer believe that. Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us. And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts. That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena. Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next. Life does not determine our character. It reveals it. Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next? We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day. So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop. You won’t. The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing. That is the only definition that matters.

If you don’t like Kraft Dinner, you’re lying. You’re lying to yourself because you want to feel superior. “Oh, I don’t eat cheap food like that.” Us Kraft Dinner enjoyers have nothing to hide. We know who we are. We are honest with ourselves, and therefore honest with the world. Never trust someone who says they don’t like Kraft Dinner. If they can lie about that, they can lie about anything.

Literally many people in Louisiana eat alligator. Any of my Louisiana followers care to weigh in on this one? 🤣🍿

If you were given $1 million on the condition that you couldn’t spend it on yourself, your loved ones, or your friends, what would you spend it on?

The city of Quincy, Massachusetts, unveils its "Progress Pride" flag at a Unitarian Universalist church, and attendees of the ceremony stretch out their hands and "bless" the flag. "Let this banner be a symbol of hope, a blanket of  protection for those who need it, and a cape of power for those who must be empowered."

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

If Spencer Pratt becomes Mayor of LA, I’m moving back to Africa.

I think I just crossed a rubicon: I ate dinner at 4:30pm and I liked it.

Does housework count as exercise??

Photos have leaked of Barack Obama's Statue at his Presidential Library, it looks EXACTLY like you'd expect 🤣 He reportedly also requested it be built by a black sculptor — look how that turned out. The entire Presidential Center has been a DEI nightmare: -Gave contracts to "diverse suppliers" -Hired DEI construction workers -Costs exploded from $350M to $830M -Fighting a $40M racial discrimination lawsuit — filed by one of his own DEI hires You really can’t make this stuff up.

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description

This is James Talarico's girlfriend that some people are calling "super hot" and a "smokeshow." I don't understand, respectfully.

Drop the last flower photo you took. 🌸
