My thoughts after 3 months in the US/Texas🇺🇸:

- Americans are way more extroverted than Europeans
- Talking to strangers is normal here
- My first H-E-B trip felt like Boris Yeltsin seeing an American grocery store
- Some food is more artificial, but the amount of choices is insane
- You can still eat healthy. You just have to choose it
- High risk, high reward is real
- Way more people are entrepreneurial
- People dream bigger than in Europe, and they actually execute
- Obv not everyone is smarter, but the smart people are world-class
- Successful people here are way more down-to-earth. In Europe, successful people care about status and can be arrogant
- Cars. Enough said
- Americans have perfected artificial sweets
- There’s still more freedom here than in Europe
- One thing I didn’t expect: some Americans talk down on America
- As an outsider, that’s weird, because imo it’s still the greatest country on Earth🇺🇸🇺🇸

@nonregemesse He's a manufactured rebel. Phony thought guy. He isn't even from Detroit. He grew up in the suburbs.

The music scenes in Michael are phenomenal. Jafar Jackson gives an unreal and outstanding performance that totally embodied his uncle’s electric stage presence and aura. It is definite must-see for any Micheal Jackson fans.

@OfficiaBob Prince was the better musician. Micheal was the better showman and entertainer.

[Bob Manager @OfficiaBob]

I see Americans arguing Prince > Michael Jackson again.

Lemme explain from Africa real quick:

For us, it was never a debate because there was never a contest.

Michael was everywhere. Thriller on NTA by 6pm. Billie Jean at every child dedication. He came to Gabon, carried babies in Abidjan, donated to Nigerian orphanages. Your uncle could moonwalk. Your pastor used ‘Heal The World’ for altar call.

Prince?
Where was he?
No tours. No posters in Alaba. No cameo in Nollywood. Ask your mum who sang Purple Rain — she doesn’t know

This isn’t disrespect. Prince was a genius. 27 instruments, pure talent.
But global? MJ was our first taste of “American superstar.” He showed up.

So yeah, argue artistry all you want.
But if we’re talking who the world knew…
Africa voted with our TVs, our weddings, our memories.

MJ. And it wasn’t close on this continent. 🌍

[Being Libertarian @beinlibertarian]

I’m not sure apologies are necessary unless people bought into the “Trump can do no wrong” crowd.

2024 gave us 3 sub-par candidates

1 was completely unviable.

1 was certain to lead to low intelligence communism.

And then Trump, a dude with a terrible record for spending, building more government, and a gift of a pied piper like ability to get masses of people to change their beliefs based on his opinion.

Trump 2.0 promised change. DOGE was set up, coalitions were being made with MAHA and libertarians. Wars were set to end.

And then it came crashing down.

Libertarians and independents don’t need to apologize for voting for or supporting the least worst candidate.

They should be thanking him for the apocalypse he has given.

Apocalypse means unveiling or uncovering. What Trump has given us is an unveiling that the nature of our government is so corrupt, that even a billionaire can be bought and manipulated to serve the Deep State he claimed to declare war on.

This should be an enlightenment for people who cling to hope that the federal government can be salvaged or used for good.

It can not.

Can we put people in place to slow down the process of inevitable collapse? Sure.

But that’s the way it’s heading.

The Trump 2.0 admin just shows how even an Avengers tier team can’t keep it from happening.

Is that sad or scary?

Sure.

But the longer we pretend it’s not reality, the harder it’s going to be when it does come down.

Thanks for the apocalypse, Trump.

@johannesmkx Interesting take. What do you think? @literaturedevil

Driving the same car for over 10 years is normal.

Using the same phone until it breaks and packs up is normal.

Taking food to work everyday is absolutely normal.

Repeating the same clothes and shoes is very normal.

Saying no to things you can't afford is very normal.

Be normal.

@Variety Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne don't have Oscar's but Micheal B. Jordan does. Let that sink in.

@TMZ Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne don't have Oscar's but Micheal B. Jordan does. Let that sink in.

Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne don't have Oscar's but Micheal B. Jordan does. GTFOH!

One Battle After Another was definitely not the Best Film of the year. I'll take Frankenstein, Bugonia or Train Dreams over better than that pretenentious slog.

Este débil argumento se ha refutado hasta el cansancio y es un debate más que saldado: 1) México deja entrar esas armas; 2) Las armas en Canadá también vienen de USA y allá no hay narcoterrorismo; 3) Culpar al vendedor del uso que les das es una falacia lógica y sirve al régimen.

[Christian Aceves @Aceman1138]

@LPMisesCaucus The problem is that the cartels aren't just involved in drug smuggling. They are also involved in murder, extortion, kidnapping, human trafficking, gasoline theft etc. They control whole cities and states. Legalizing drugs alone isn't going to stop them.

[George @BehizyTweets]

Mexico is what happens when you appease criminals instead of totally crushing them with force.

The cartels allowed Claudia Sheinbaum to win because she promised to leave them alone. Now that U.S. pressure and cooperation have led to the neutralization of the leader of just ONE cartel, Guadalajara is on fire.

NEVER give an inch to criminals.

Bitcoin was fun while it lasted.

Trillions of dollars flowed into an asset that produces nothing, yields nothing, and depends entirely on the next investor paying more than the last.

It started in the darkest corners of the internet, then got scrubbed clean and rebranded as “digital gold” and a “store of value” — buzzwords used by people who wanted exit liquidity.

This is shaping up to be the biggest wealth wipeout the world has ever seen. It was always a casino, and the house is about to pull the plug.

[Christian Aceves @Aceman1138]

@Nina7Infinity Wonderful uplifting drama

[Christian Aceves @Aceman1138]

The spellbinding cinematography in Train Dreams is a visual feast on the eyes in this minimalist tale about love, loss and the building of the American frontier.
