beyoncé trouxe a afro-cubana celia cruz, os colombianos maluma e shakira, os mexicanos alejandro fernández e selena, o portorriquenho julio voltio...
isso claramente foi uma carta de amor aos latinos, dado o contexto atual dos eua. te amo beyoncé.
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.
We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.
I am begging a single trump support to explain to me why you are okay with this. You spent years saying you wanted him to "drain the swamp," yet when he proves to be the actual swamp creature, you stay silent. Why?
Dawg on IG they asked straight men what’s the gayest thing they’ve done and a dude said he raised his hand in the club when the DJ asked who got a birthday tonight lmaooooo
Notice when you want an abortion the fetus is a person but when we talk about immigration, actual children are called offspring.
Words matter. They are saying the Nazi shit out loud. Listen to them.
As an older gen z, I find this to be especially true.
Partying was a thing my friends and I did from about 16 to 22. It was fun, it was social, it was just “what everyone did”.
What changed it for me was watching the effects on my older peers and friends. Seeing people a few years ahead of me visibly degraded from that lifestyle was a real wake up call imo. The skin, energy, and health issues showing up way too early. For some reason, I find my generation caring about this stuff a lot more.
Club culture itself also just stopped being appealing. Everything started looking sloppy + dirty.
But the shift is probably bigger than personal preference:
→ we grew up on the internet w/ full access to what alcohol actually does to your body and your overall health.
→ everything is filmed now. every night out is documented on someone’s phone so the cost of being sloppy became permanent evidence.
→ going out got absurdly expensive. a single night at a club can run hundreds, meanwhile a gym membership is $50+/month and a run club is mostly free.
→ the pandemic forced everyone to stop going out & a lot of people realized they didn’t miss it.
→ mental health awareness got REALLY normalized for our generation. Therapy, self care, etc.
→ aspirational content shifted. The coolest thing on social media used to be bottle service/ club photos. Now it’s gym progress, run clubs, morning routines, clean girl aesthetics, wellness.
→ Dating apps replaced bars. You don’t need to go to a club to meet people anymore.
Overall just think our generation collectively realized that taking care of yourself isn’t boring, and we’re more skeptical on what we waste our money on since the future we were promised as kids doesn’t really exist anymore.
.@realDonaldTrump and @DonaldJTrumpJr want America obsessed with Joe and Hunter Biden.
Cute.
But here’s the scoreboard:
Joe Biden: not the Epstein problem.
@HunterBiden: not married into Epstein’s Palm Beach banking circle.
Donald Trump and Don Jr.: very different story.
Epstein files and glass houses don’t mix.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
@tardedlib The exact opposite. I wasn’t on a private island smoking crack. I was at the Super 8 off I95 in West Haven. Very different class of people, and with more integrity than any of those people.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
