There I was, windshield smeared with bug guts and the remnants of whatever unholy snack my kid dropped last week. I pull up to the car wash, unsuspecting, unarmed, just a regular civilian trying to redeem my dignity with a $12 wash and the vague hope my car will no longer smell like chicken nuggets and despair.Enter The Guy..... You know the one.......the self-appointed "Commander" of the Foam Fleet. Dressed in reflective neon like a disco traffic cone and armed with nothing but windmill arms and attitude.As I slowly inch forward, he spots me, eyes squinting, sizing me up like I’m a rogue F-14 Tomcat trying to land on a storm-tossed aircraft carrier. He’s suddenly all motion. Flapping. Pointing. Doing that weird poof with his lips like “Bro, are you even licensed to operate this Car?”I’m angled slightly left, which to him must be the equivalent of declaring a state of national emergency. “More to the right!” “STRAIGHT!” “More RIGHT!” Which one is it, Maverick?! I’m not trying to parallel park into the gates of heaven, I’m entering a damn car wash.He starts flailing like a majestic bird who just realized he’s in a Walmart parking lot. Arms windmilling with the raw intensity of a man who watched Top Gun too many times and thinks foam brushes are aviation-grade turbines. I swear I saw him whisper, “I got this,” like he was calming a jet mid-crash.Then.......tragedy, he throws his arms up in dramatic disbelief. Like, I just insulted his mother. Or drove over a sacred line invisible to all mortals except him.He signals frantically. I lowered my window just enough to catch the booming voice of his judgment. “You want an air freshener?” Sir. You looked like you were about to issue a Code Red, and we’re pausing for fragrance selection?I mutter “Yes” (because my car smells like something died in a fruit roll-up factory), and he THRUSTS a little green tree at me like it’s a Medal of Honor. Then....(THEN)........As the machine starts pulling my car forward, he panics. “WINDOW UP! WINDOW UP!” Now I’m scrambling, rolling up the window as water blasts against the glass, and I’m half-holding the air freshener like a wet dog trophy.Did I survive a battlefield or get a car wash? I don’t know. All I know is that man took me on a journey.He flapped, he judged, he panicked, and he air-freshened, and somewhere in a world where bubbles meet bravery, Top Gun (Car Wash Edition lives on), starring the hero we never asked for, but who won’t let your alignment ruin his runway.Godspeed, Bubble Commander. You’ve earned your wings.

By Terry Loerch.....because someone had to say it!In a historic feat of silicone, space suits, and self-importance, the Amazon overlord and his Botox brigade have officially proven what science has long avoided asking......... Can plastic surgery survive space? Yes, yes it can! (It's a great day for science) This wasn’t just a rocket launch. Oh no. This was the first fully artificial crew to enter suborbital space without so much as a lip deflation or a cheekbone shift. We watched, some horrified, most curious, as high-G duck lips held strong, and gravity-defying implants laughed in the face of zero gravity. NASA who?Let’s talk results.Not one upper lip imploded.Not a single cheek filler escaped containment........and by the grace of Dr. 90210, no boobs took an orbital tour of someone else’s seat.This wasn’t a flight, it was a dermatological triumph, A high-altitude celebration of synthetic resilience. The capsule landed without a wobble, and so did their jawlines.Inside sources (probably a wax figure with WiFi) confirmed that the mission was a secret collaboration between Blue Origin and the Kardashian Academy of Advanced Aesthetic Spaceflight. Their mission: Test the durability of cosmetic enhancements under extreme conditions. The result? Zero migration of fillers. Not even a wrinkle..... Literally.“Science needed this,” said no scientist ever.While the rest of us were busy paying rent, these courageous cosmetically-curated cosmonauts gave humanity what it truly needed....... reassurance that the pursuit of vanity can now reach escape velocity.So here’s to the future, when astronauts are made not from grit and training, but from Botox, boldness, and a really good post-op care team.Because in the end, if your face can survive a G-force and still smirk smugly for a space selfie, well, darling… you’re not aging, you’re ascending.

In recent years, the line between business and politics has blurred, with many arguing that the skills required to run a successful business translate seamlessly into the role of governing a nation. On the surface, this idea may seem logical, both require leadership, decision-making, and management skills. However, at their core, business and politics operate on fundamentally different principles, and history has repeatedly shown that business leaders often fail when transitioning into political roles. The reason is simple: a business exists to generate profit, while politics is meant to serve the public good. These two objectives are not only distinct but often directly opposed to one another.

Being a startup entrepreneur isn’t just about having a great idea, it’s about living with a relentless fire that refuses to let you sleep. It’s about lying awake at night, consumed by thoughts of funding, deadlines, team dynamics, and the gnawing uncertainty of whether it will all work out. No one warns you about the emotional toll, the way your mind races through possibilities, setbacks, and strategies as you watch the hours tick by, wondering how you’ll manage to keep pushing forward. People often romanticize entrepreneurship, focusing on success stories that highlight the end result rather than the grueling journey it takes to get there. The reality is far from glamorous. You invest not just your money, but your time, your relationships, and sometimes your health. There are moments when you question your sanity, when you wonder why you’ve chosen this path that demands everything and offers no guarantees.

AI-generated content has a certain... unmistakable vibe. It’s like reading a cover letter from a time-traveling Victorian businessman, technically correct, but weirdly unnatural. And just like spotting a bad wig in a crowded room, once you know what to look for, you can’t unsee it.

In the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence, businesses are constantly evaluating their options to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. Two notable players in the AI space, ChatGPT and DeepSeek, have carved out unique positions with their capabilities and pricing models. But how do they stack up against each other in terms of cost-effectiveness and functionality? Let’s break it down.

As a dad, I spend a lot of time thinking about the kind of world I want to leave for my child. A world where he can explore, grow, and thrive without unnecessary barriers, and as someone who’s navigated life with a disability, I know firsthand how much work there is left to do to make that world a reality not just for me, but for him, for you, and for everyone we care about.

Being disabled is often seen as a limitation, but let me tell you something: it doesn’t have to be. The world might try to convince you that success isn’t for people like us, that we’re somehow not capable of achieving the same things as everyone else. That idea? It’s complete nonsense. I’ve built businesses, created music, and developed platforms that change lives, all while navigating my own disability. And here’s the kicker, I did most of it without meeting people face-to-face.
