• They graduated into a pandemic
• Job hunted into an AI apocalypse
• Entered the housing market when rates hit 8%
• Watched a world war start before they turned 25
• Got their first paycheck and lost 30% to taxes they’ll never see benefits from
• Student loans kicked in the same month rent doubled
• Were told to “just network” during two years of lockdown
• Grew up on social media designed to make them feel worthless
• Watched billionaires add trillions during COVID while they lost their jobs
• Inherited a planet that’s literally on fire
• Were promised the American Dream and handed the American Bill

It’s the avocado toast.
My wife and I were talking last night about groceries.
I went back into my Walmart app and pulled up an order from January 2020.
30 items. $70.20.
I added every single one back to the cart today.
$165.42.
Same 30 items. Same store. Same cart.
$95 more, In six years.
They told us inflation was temporary. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was recovering.
My grocery bill didn’t get the memo.
135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.
I just want to thank the @Brewers for playing a @bigtimerush song during the dance cam music for boy band night. I’m not going to say it’s because I’m wearing my BTR jersey but also am. You’ve made this Rusher very happy tonight 🥹
Studying abroad in Greece and having to take your roommate to the ER for a broken arm and the nurses going omg I’m so sorry you’re not Greek so we have to charge you and it’ll be a bit expensive I’m so sorry!!! And it was $20 and only two hours of our life
I don’t want a city on Mars. I don’t want AI in every app. I don’t want data centres in space. I don’t want humanoids or flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive. And a habitable planet.
Dating a first born daughter means you have 0.2 seconds to help. After that she’s climbing the counter moving the ladder and nearly dying because you took forever to help.😭
“No one is forcing you to work at that job you hate.”

MY FAMILY IS FORCING ME
SOCIETY IS FORCING ME
RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
an eldest daughter once said being the firstborn means you’re automatically irritated by incompetence. not because you’re harsh, but because you were never given the room to be incompetent yourself. the daughters who know… know.
And like Miley Cyrus said:
“I didn’t talk badly about you—I talked about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.”
Sorry can’t talk, I’m down the algorithm of Door County drama because Wild Tomato pizza keeps suing and attacking a family for opening another pizza place called Wildman Pizza
