Gen X commentary for a world run by TikTok therapists and crybabies. Dry. Direct. Disillusioned. 🧠 Substack:

Gen X didn’t ask for this.
But we’re stuck watching the planet burn from the back row.
So yeah—we’re gonna say something.

@J840041598293 @LeadingReport Punctuation is so overrated.

@sama This is an awesome feature. I’d written a prompt to be able to do something similar but branching to a new chat is great.

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Many of these claims originated from a chain email that has circulated since 2006. Several have been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers, yet continue to spread on social media.

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Lack of Current Data
Claims 6, 8, and 9 about California student demographics, gang membership percentages, and taxpayer costs lack reliable current data to verify specific percentages

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 3: 
MIXED. The crop-picking figure is roughly accurate - about 3-4% of undocumented immigrants work in farming. However, the “welfare” claim is misleading most benefits go to U.S. citizen children in mixed-status households, not directly to undocumented immigrants

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 7: “75% of Los Angeles Most Wanted Criminals are Illegals”
NO EVIDENCE FOUND. Researchers found no supporting evidence for this specific statistic

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 5: “60% of all HUD occupied properties in the US are Illegals”
RIDICULOUSLY FALSE. HUD data shows that 96% of subsidized housing residents are citizens and 4% are legal immigrants

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 4: “More than 66% of ALL births in California are to Illegals on Medi-Cal”
FALSE. According to California data from 2011-2013, only 12-15% of all births statewide were to undocumented immigrants using Medicaid, not 66%

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 2: “95% of Warrants issued for Murder in Los Angeles are for Illegals”
UNSUBSTANTIATED. This figure comes from a 2005 anonymous “rough estimate” by an LAPD member, not official statistics

[Michael Sherriff @LastGenStanding]

@JHowells23641 @GavinNewsom Claim 1: “43% of all FOOD Stamps are Given to Illegals”
FALSE. According to USDA data, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive SNAP benefits directly

@KLUltraMaga @GavinNewsom Trump said he likes the sound of that.

@RapidResponse47 The USA is NOT the only country to use mail in votes. Imagine a president stating something that is so easily fact checked and debunked. The guy is so f^cking dishonest.

Interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve generally signal concerns that the economy is slowing down or weakening rather than doing well.

The Fed cuts rates to stimulate economic growth by making borrowing cheaper, which encourages spending and investment. Current forecasts, including from JPMorgan and several Fed officials, suggest cuts are anticipated due to signs of a softening labor market and slowing economic growth in 2025.

Inflation is still somewhat elevated, but the weakening job market and other indicators suggest the Fed is aiming to support the economy and prevent a downturn.

Thus, rate cuts are often a response to economic challenges, not a sign that the economy is strong.

In this case, the Fed’s expected interest rate cuts reflect caution about growth and employment prospects rather than a confirmation that the economy is doing well.

In 2025, Washington, D.C. has seen a significant decrease in crime rates. Violent crime dropped by approximately 26-35% compared to 2024, including a 30% reduction in homicides and notable declines in robbery, rape, and aggravated assault.

Overall crime in the greater DC region decreased by 13% in the first four months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Property crimes, including motor vehicle theft and burglaries, have also trended downward. Despite these improvements, Washington, D.C. still has a crime rate more than twice the national average and remains higher in violent crime per capita compared to many U.S. states.

To summarize key figures for Washington D.C. in 2025:
•Homicides dropped by about 30%, with 179 homicides reported in 2024 (down from 274 in 2023).
•Violent crimes overall—assaults, robberies, sexual offenses—are down nearly one-third.
•Property crimes also fell, with fewer vehicle thefts and burglaries reported.
•Despite decreases, DC’s crime rate per capita remains relatively high compared to other U.S. states.

Efforts to further improve safety continue, including increased law enforcement presence as part of federal initiatives.

This data indicates a positive downward trend in crime rates in Washington, D.C. during 2025, though challenges remain, especially in certain neighborhoods known for higher crime levels

More bullshit from the orange man.

The top ten most dangerous cities in the world in 2025, based on crime indices and homicide rates, are as follows:

1.Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
2.Pretoria, South Africa
3.Caracas, Venezuela
4.Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
5.Johannesburg, South Africa
https://t.co/6BKWsn826o, South Africa
7.San Pedro Sula, Honduras
8.Port Elizabeth, South Africa
9.Memphis, Tennessee, United States
10.Salvador, Brazil

Washington, D.C. ranks 69th on the list of the most dangerous cities worldwide, with a crime index of 60.4.

It has a high murder rate among U.S. cities and significant challenges with violent crime, but it does not rank near the top globally.

The city saw 274 homicides in 2023 but experienced a 32% drop in homicides in 2024

You are so far out of your depth right now, so is Pam. And you know it. Floating around the big open waters clinging to the Trump life boat knowing one wrong word n you’ll be cut loose n sink deeper than you ever thought possible. So deep you’d never believe it. Deep, like no one has ever seen before.
