Well said!

There is nothing wrong with you if you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world right now. I’m more concerned about people who don’t feel concerned about what’s happening in the world today.

If this reality really is a simulation, I would really appreciate it if the protagonist could stop fucking around with side quests and get back to being focused on the main storyline and becoming the hero we so sorely need right now.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

The Eagles should go visit Justin Trudeau to just rub more salt in the wound

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

resonates.

Alright I’ll bite: what percent of kids do we think will actually look at these as bots as “guides” to augment learning instead of just using them to substitute research/writing? I was a huge dork who loved the library and I would’ve used it to do my homework, not learn…bc that’s how kids think!

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

People who didn’t understand Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show also don’t understand how tariffs work.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

AOC: I have encountered many billionaires. You all have seen many of those encounters in hearings.. I can tell that this dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever seen

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

I know “all empires fall” and all that nonsense but I’ll be wrestling, for the rest of my life, with the reality that the world’s mightiest superpower is being toppled the the absolute biggest fuckin’ losers imaginable. Just… junior prom rejects, all the way down.

That feeling of reading a book as fast as you can to see how it ends, but also not wanting it to be over. 😭 #booksky

Thatz my girl,,, making history to front Nirvana with its surviving members #VioletGrohl

Weirdly accurate in 2025

It’s OK to buy games at launch. It’s OK to buy games on sale. It’s OK to play games via a subscription service. It’s OK to borrow games from your friends. It’s not OK to shame others for how they access gaming. Financial situations are different for everyone. Be kind about it.
