This is why Twitter blue is important to stop authoritarian advertisers from censoring your free speech.

Nepo babies always think it comes down to luck. They have no idea how much work people put in to be successful.
Theo Von: “Do you think the American Dream is still alive?”
Zohran Mamdani: “It feels like you have to luck out in some big way. In many ways I feel like it’s why a lot of people play the lottery. For many it feels like their only chance. People think they have better odds playing the lottery than making it in their own life. What does that say about the country we live in?”
Lolz, how are you going to build a mass movement by turning off comments? 🤡😂
The threat of the far right is growing.
We urgently need to build a mass movement that can mobilise on the scale we need to stop them.

The game has completely changed in 10 yrs. The NBA no longer needs tall, lanky, athletic guys who can dunk. They need tall, lanky, athletic guys who can hit 3s 40% of the time. This trend favors rich kids with parents who can afford elite travel teams and professional coaching

This is how the Grinch should have stolen Christmas, all he had to do was get a job as a school teacher in Who-ville and tell the Who children "Green Lives Matter" and Christmas is oppressing the Grinch minority. Christmas would have been over the next year.
Well, it seems SNL has gone all in on the teen girl market this season. My daughter showed me a Tik Tok this morning and I couldn't believe it was from SNL. I thought it was just a bunch of amateur friends doing a bit. Their sketches are just mid Tik Toks.
Nope. Blame Democrat run cities for refusing to lock people up for carrying illegal guns. Even Google says "85% to 90% of firearms recovered and traced at crime scenes were obtained illegally..." Which means probably closer to 99%.
Trump has been a disaster on crime—from making it easier for dangerous people to get their hands on firearms to defunding law enforcement and cutting lifesaving grants our communities rely on.
@Emma_S_Brown breaks down how Trump has made us all less safe 👇
LLMs are so hilariously bad at creating a decent UI I believe it's intentional so independent developers can never build apps to compete directly with large companies.
Never buy anything from Temu you actually plan on using. Temu should only be used to buy gifts for people you hate.
I find it funny people call @PierrePoilievre and his party Conservatives. He and their entire party would be considered left leaning Democrats in the US. Their policies sound like they came from Hillary Clinton.
.@PierrePoilievre
Delivered the party’s strongest popular vote in nearly 40 years for conservatives, the highest in the modern conservative movement — including 44% in Ontario. Detractors are upset they weren’t part of his success.
Christopher Nolan does the feminist scream trope in the Odyssey? That's an immediate no for me. @grok can you explain the feminist scream trope in modern movies?
Except a janitor became a millionaire when Space X went public, which is impossible under socialism.
Amazing how so many people posting on X don't know they're saluting the Medal of Honor recipients. The American education system is a failure.
This is beyond ludicrous.
Why the hell are U.S. Marines and soldiers saluting a UFC fighter?
The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not celebrities, influencers, or the latest personality cult. Watching service members rendered as props for a UFC spectacle is beneath the dignity of the uniform and beneath the dignity of the country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These service members are saluting Medal of Honor recipient Ty Carter, who is walking with the UFC fighter. By tradition, all U.S. military personnel salute Medal of Honor recipients regardless of rank. mohmuseum.org/medal-recipien… army.mil/medalofhonor/c…
Robert Eggers is so obsessed with historical accuracy, he would have figured out a way to use period-accurate film equipment. 😂
Christopher Nolan is defending the historical accuracy of the armor in #TheOdyssey:
“There are Mycenaean daggers that are blackened bronze. The theory is they probably could have blackened bronze in those days. You take bronze, you add more gold and silver to it and then use sulfur… With Agamemnon, Ellen [Mirojnick], our costume designer, is trying to communicate how elevated he is relative to everyone else. You do that through materials that would be very expensive.” (via Time)

I only have a Netflix subscription for a couple months a year to get caught up on their original stuff then re-cancel. Do others do this?
People on the left are still oblivious to the fact Trump won the popular vote and the worst of the left went to Bluesky because they could no longer get accounts banned for sharing a meme they didn't like.
Hilarious seeing all these bitter euro trash socialists sharing their fanfic IRGC-pr0n on X. 🤡🤣
Failed to rescue the pilot...
Failed to rescue the rescue team...
Failed to rescue the rescue team that tried to rescue the rescue team...
Failed to convince anyone with their lies about rescuing the pilot.
This is the laughing stock the US military has become.

Braves.tv games let's me watch all Braves games except for exclusive nationally broadcast games by Apple or Fox for $99. There are about 25 blackout games in 2026 or almost 1 game a week. Is that worth it?
