USA. A hibachi restaurant. My American friends brought me here to enjoy the cuisine of my homeland, and I witnessed a ritual I have never seen in eight hundred years of being Japanese. The chef stacked onion rings into a tower. He filled it with oil. And he set it on fire. "THE VOLCANO!" my friends cheered. They knew the ritual. They had seen it many times. In Japan, I have eaten ten thousand meals. No one has ever built me a volcano. I said nothing. A guest does not question the ceremony. "Is this how they do it back home?" my friend asked, glowing with joy. "...The technique is flawless," I said. A samurai may retreat. He may not lie. He may, however, aim the truth very carefully. Then the chef flicked a shrimp through the air at my face. "Catch it!" the table roared. In my land, food is set before you with two hands and an apology for the wait. Here, the shrimp attacks. I caught it. With my mouth. The table erupted. The chef saluted me with his spatula. I have received medals with less pride. "You're a natural," the chef said. "My family has trained for this for generations," I said. It was not technically a lie. We trained. Just not for this. My friends drove me home, full and happy, honored to have shown me my own country. A man does not question the volcano. He catches the shrimp. Whatever this cuisine is, wherever it was truly born — the fire is real, the joy is real, and I caught what was thrown at me. That is Japanese enough.

One of the reasons X terrifies soft ideologues is that it has become one of the last places where ideas are forced to compete in the open. I don’t block people and certainly don’t deliberately curate an echo chamber. My replies are full of people who disagree with me. And yet every day I watch the same thing happen. The people who spent years convinced they represented the silent majority get ratioed into the earth by ordinary Americans. Not because of brigading, coordination, or because some shadowy force is helping. Because their ideas suck. That realization should horrify them. But it doesn’t, because they’re dented. For years they mistook institutional power for public support. They confused HR departments, media outlets, universities, and bureaucracies with actual consensus. Now the walls are gone and the ideas have to stand on their own. And many of them just can’t. What’s happening on this platform is not the triumph of a movement. It’s the collapse of an illusion. The worst part isn’t that they’re losing. It’s that they’re finding out how few people ever agreed with them in the first place.

A retired Navy Vice Admiral glanced at a critic on X and immediately wrote him off as a bot who had never served his country. He was wrong. Badly wrong. The man he attacked was a decorated combat veteran who had served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. What should have been a simple policy disagreement quickly turned into a very public lesson about arrogance, isolation, and the quiet erosion of judgment among those at the top. (6 min read)

“Have you even read Marx?” A. Yes. B. Even if I hadn’t, the idea that someone has to read thousands of pages of bullshit before they’re allowed to determine it’s bullshit is retarded. If I write a 3,000-page book explaining why slamming your dick in a car door cures cancer, nobody is obligated to read the whole thing to conclude I’m a fucking moron.

I dedicate a portion of every leg day to heavy good mornings so that I won't have a tiny hiney. I adjust my leg placement every set and this was set three, close in. This always hits the target, and I definitely feel like I am growing.

One of the fun things about low rep hypertrophy sets to failure is the different types of failure you encounter. Everyone knows the burning, shaking fail. The one I got this morning was the polite "no thank you" fail. Third rep, halfway up stops. No pain, no big show. Just wouldn't move another inch.

It's good to see him confident and in good form!
Lance McCullers Jr. That's it. That's the tweet.

Don't like the Giants or the Yankees, but that opening ceremony and National Anthem was badass. I've missed baseball.

Replying to @LeaderJohnThune
Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

Moncada ✅️ Acuna ❌️ Kirk ❌️ I did say it was a long shot, but that early dinger sure got me fired up! Looking forward to the season!
This early in the not even season yet, a dinger slip is a moonshot no matter what. That being said, I couldn't wait to put my first slip of the year in!
