Honestly, just work hard, save your money, support your friends and family, be a friendly and compassionate person, and avoid being bitter. Just avoid chasing women for sex, and you’ll live a happy and healthy life. Just keep some platonic friends for brownies. :-)

I was on the right for 15+ years, including as a teenager and in college. I never saw anything like this kind of explicit racism, and if anyone said shit like that people would have told them to STFU. This new generation of conservatives is different, depraved and nihilistic.

Does the CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs have any plan to increase production in the US? Haha, no.

One narrative I'm not buying is that men are fucked up because they were made to sit still in school by overall-wearing smiley ladies. Sorry but before that you'd have been beaten by nuns and forced to wear the dunce cap because you didn't wear your uniform correctly.

We have officially gone from ‘eliminate fares to protect the bus driver’ to ‘violence is actually the bus drivers fault’ in only like 3 tweets

the people who get arrested for this aren't often looking for a fight, its often the driver who escalates it. if the violence were so prevalent that the cost to enforce were higher than the revenue loss, it'd make sense, but i've yet to see anyone make that case.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's probably impossible to overstate the broader cultural impact of governance failures and housing costs sending hundreds of thousands of Americans from California/Illinois/New York to Texas/Tennessee/Florida.

Grown men who were born in Chicago and work office jobs are wearing cowboy boots And listening to Zachary Bryan Complete cultural victory

This is also why there are few emigrants from the US - there are certainly individuals in the US who might be better off somewhere else, but *if* you have the agency and ability to emigrate, you probably could do extremely well living in some part of the US instead.

The domestic born Americans with the capacity to run a small town business usually have better options available to them. It's one reason why you rarely see the children of immigrants take over these businesses even when they're thriving.

If you see someone espousing anti-immigration sentiments while also being vehemently opposed to actually doing any of the things that immigrants are doing -- they're either a psyop account or someone who got "got" by a psyop. Oppose immigration, sure! But also take the job in…

Dearest Martha, I fear that our Union forces cannot hold out against Publix much longer. If we do not stop them at Fairfax, all is lost. Love, Jedediah

Publix grocery stores continue to expand north ... into Manassas, Virginia, only 35 miles from Washington D.C. The vast majority of stores are in Florida and Georgia, but more are planned elsewhere including Kentucky. grocerydive.com/news/publix-ne…

Even boomers in the 90s would still party and drink while the millennial kids hung out upstairs. Now there's this idea that the fun is over as soon as you have kids so everyone is terrified to have them.

“There are people willing to commit felony assault over $2, and my solution to this is to let those people sit next to you on public transit for free”

And we've already seen the transformative impacts of eliminating the fare when we won and implemented a historic fare free bus pilot on one line in each borough. Ridership went up. Assaults on operators went down. And people saved money. thenation.com/article/societ…

Btw: only about 25% (!) of SBA low-interests go to POC - the rest are to new buyers, "under-served" whites, married couples, and some people who were just good enough to win and get the loan. I double-checked the AI on the website itself, sba.gov. I'm starting to…

The reason that Australia isn't in the mess that the US and UK are at the moment re immigration is the harsh border policies (mostly) maintained by successive governments. They're inhumane for those caught up in them, but have ensured public support for our immigration program.
