    Arkansas Skips OnlyFans — Walmart > Webcam?

    A new report that ranks OnlyFans spending per capita says North Dakota is actually number one — yep, the land of wide spaces is tipping the most online. Mississippi spends the least and Arkansas is second-to-last, which means we get to smugly point at 50th and 49th and say, “bless their hearts.” I gotta admit, North Dakota kinda makes sense — cold, dark by 4:30, only so many times you can reorganize the garage before you go surfing the internet. We, on the other hand, are just cheap and practical: we’re coupon-hunting, trying to bundle it with our internet and wondering if Bass Pro points will pay for exclusive content. Bottom line: when Arkansans get bored we go to Walmart; in North Dakota they hit the OnlyFans button — basically same entertainment value, but Walmart feeds you. Takeaways: I laugh that a per-capita OnlyFans report puts North Dakota at number one nationally; cold, dark winters apparently boost browsing habits.We poke fun that Arkansas and Mississippi spend the least, because we're famously thrifty and share streaming passwords with fifty relatives.I joke that Arkansans would bargain, coupon-hunt, and even ask if OnlyFans accepts Bass Pro points before subscribing to anything.I point out the per-capita stat came from someone doing spreadsheet math — some poor researcher named Bill — and that's comedy itself.We compare North Dakota's late-night online scene to Arkansas trips to Walmart: both cure boredom, but Walmart also hooks you up with groceries and random entertainment.

    My Truck's Drinking Out of Spite: Gas Prices Are a Mood

    Gas prices are the highest they've ever been for this time of year — AAA says the national average is about $4.27/gal, up 13 cents in a week. Summer’s over, kids are back in school, the lake bag smells weird in the garage, and somehow the pump didn’t get the memo. You don’t need a chart or an economist — you just stand at the pump, watch the numbers spin, and wonder if your truck’s drinking out of spite. So yeah, I rant a little, then salute the real underappreciated hero: the gas station price-sign changer, out there with a 10-foot pole getting yelled at while they deliver the bad news. Don’t shoot the messenger — they’re just doing their job while the rest of us decide if that extra trip to Wally World is worth our retirement. Takeaways: I complain that gas is at the highest price for this time of year, a weirdly specific and annoying record.AAA says the national average for regular is about $4.27 a gallon, up 13 cents in one week — ouch.We don't need charts or economists; you feel this inflation at the pump immediately when the numbers spin.Suddenly every errand becomes a budget meeting—driving to Wally World twice in one day feels like poor retirement planning.I proudly salute the gas station price sign changer — the poor soul who climbs out in storms with a ten‑foot pole.People blame the sign changer, but seriously please don't shoot the messenger—they're updating prices, not running the oil companies' yachts.

    Remembering 9/11: They Knew

    We open with the key fact: passengers on United Flight 93 learned the hijackers planned to use the plane as a weapon and chose to fight back, crashing the aircraft near Shanksville, Pennsylvania to stop it from reaching another target. The flight had been delayed out of Newark, and by the time it was seized the attacks on New York and Washington were already underway. People on board made calls, learned what was happening on the ground, and realized this wasn’t a normal hijacking. With only minutes and incomplete information, passengers and crew decided to try to retake the plane. At 10:03 Eastern the plane crashed; all aboard were killed, but the aircraft never hit another target, and their actions changed the course of that day. I want us to remember both the horror of what happened and the courage of strangers who chose to act for one another. Takeaways: I describe how passengers quickly learned about the other attacks and made urgent calls to loved ones.We had minutes and incomplete info, yet those aboard Flight 93 decided to fight back together and try to retake the plane.I say this episode reminds us that ordinary people can make extraordinary choices when faced with terrifying uncertainty.I reflect that, on September 11th, amidst horror and confusion, strangers sat together and decided to act, sacrificing themselves to stop a greater attack on more lives.We emphasize remembrance that honors courage and also warns us about the stakes of hate and violence in our world.I stress that their quick calls and choices changed history that morning, preventing further destruction that otherwise might have occurred.

    Remembering 9/11: Going The Other Way

    We're remembering September 11th, 25 years on — and the main point up front: while thousands were rushing down and out of the World Trade Center, firefighters and first responders deliberately went the other way into the danger. I keep coming back to that image of crowds descending the stairwells and crews climbing up — it tells you a lot about who we are. Most people escaped — thousands survived — but 343 members of the FDNY were killed, and they weren't just a number; they had families, plans, lives. We talk about how that day showed humanity at its worst and, almost immediately, its absolute best: strangers helping strangers. So we're honoring the loss and remembering the courage of folks who ran toward the crisis — no sappy speeches, just honest respect. Takeaways: I remind listeners, real talk, that amid horror thousands survived by following instructions and helping each other.We reflect on firefighters and first responders who knew the danger and still climbed toward it to help strangers.I hate reducing 343 members of the Fire Department to a number; they were people with families, plans, and lives.We remember that while September 11th exposed humanity's worst, it also revealed extraordinary compassion and selflessness immediately after.I keep thinking about the image of people going down stairs while firefighters literally went up into danger.We should hold both the grief for those lost and the gratitude for those who acted bravely each September 11th.I want us to remember survivors' stories: thousands evacuated, coworkers helped one another, and first responders kept moving toward harm.

    Remembering 9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed Everything

    We mark the 25th anniversary of September 11 and remember the 2,977 lives lost, and we stress how everything on that morning unfolded in just 102 minutes. We walk through the timeline: Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46, Flight 175 hit the South Tower at 9:03, Flight 77 struck the Pentagon at 9:37, Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania at 10:03, and the towers collapsed within that short span. That day was experienced one jaw-dropping moment at a time — there wasn’t time to process one thing before the next thing hit. We talk about the first responders, the people who tried to save others, and how that day changed airports, airspace, and the country in ways viewers couldn’t have imagined then. We pause and remember together, and we invite you to join us in a moment of silence. Takeaways: I remind listeners that September 11 unfolded in rapid, sequential moments, giving people no time to process events.We walked through the exact timeline: first plane, second plane, Pentagon strike, Flight 93, and both towers collapsing within 102 minutes.I emphasize the human cost: 2,977 lives lost and countless families forever changed by that morning.We note how airspace, airports, and national policy changed almost instantly after that single catastrophic morning.I argue that remembering the timeline matters because the day wasn't one event but a series of unfolding shocks that reshaped American life and policy for decades.
