The tattoo thing is completely out of control. A majority of women between the ages of 18 and 49 now have tattoos. I have tattoos and I'm here to tell you it isn't worth it. I don't hate my tattoos or necessarily regret them. I feel fine about them. But feeling fine about your tattoos 18 years later is basically the best case scenario. That's the tattoo ceiling. At best it will be something you don't necessarily hate in a couple of decades. The floor is much, much lower. There is basically no scenario where you'll wake up every day for the next six decades thanking God that you have your tattoos. You'll either be totally humiliated by them down the line (which a lot of people are), or at best you'll be kind of ambivalent. Not a wise investment. Upside isn't nearly high enough to justify a permanent decision.

“It’s a process. It’s a way you go about doing things. It’s a high standard, high expectation, it’s accountability. It’s discipline, commitment, toughness, work ethic, pride. It’s wanting to be great vs. wanting to be normal,” Curt Cignetti The difference is within you.

“Part of being a real grown up in life is telling people when what they’re doing isn’t good enough. Whether that’s your kids, whether that’s someone you work with. Whatever professional realm you’re in, you have to learn that skill. The real grownup teammates are not afraid to say that in order to get the team to where it needs to go,” Tom Brady 🎥 @bigpodwithshaq

/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power.

And so it begins. wser.org/lottery2026.html

Universal mental health screening doesn't reliably identify depression or suicidality in kids or teens. What it reliably produces is false positives. And that will change a lot of young lives for the worse. Mine in @TheFP thefp.com/p/abigail-shrier-s…
