dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it
The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.
The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.
We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.
CRAZY: 🇺🇸 Warren Buffett says he can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes!
"Just pass a law that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
Shaq on Bam 83:
"I'm happy for Bam.... A lot of people say 'he chased the record.' HE SHOULD. To all the little kids out there if you got a chance to make history, you go for it"
This exchange just happened on the Senate floor.
Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.”
Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.”
Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?”
Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?”
Silence.
The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote.
50% of Americans don’t have a passport.
The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters.
The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans.
This is not voter protection.
This is voter selection.
And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything.
That’s the Senate in 2026.
@BernieSanders You know how we made America great in the 20th century?
1. We broke up monopolies.
2. We taxed the rich.
3. We strengthened unions and worker rights.
4. We protected civil rights and voting rights.
We learned this lesson from the 19th century but forgot it again in the 21st.
@AriFleischer Trump posted Obama as an ape.
That's bigot behavior
This is why I can't take the MAGA cult seriously. They lie to themselves to make themselves feel good
Funny they report in this but if you google “NY Post Baltimore” I can’t find anything about the 60% decrease in homicides (a 50-year low) since 2021 under his watch.
Also, it was $801k on ALL “meals and catering” since July of 2022 - not $1M at Ravens games this year like they want you to think.
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
