Today is Roaring Kitty's 40th birthday
In 2019, he put $53,000 into GameStop from his basement in Wilmington, MA
Every hedge fund on Wall Street told him he was wrong
Then January 2021 happened:
• Melvin Capital, Citadel, and Point72 were all short GME with billions
• GME goes from $5 → $483
• Keith Gill's $53,000 becomes $48,000,000
• Melvin Capital loses $6.8 billion. Gone within a year
Then Congress called him to testify. He told them "I did not solicit anyone to buy or sell the stock for my own profit" and walked out a free man
He disappeared from the internet in 2021. Came back in May 2024, posted one photo, and GME opened +50% the next morning
He showed every retail investor that the big guys aren't untouchable
Happy birthday @TheRoaringKitty
Se viraliza la reacción de una familia tras regresar a Venezuela desde #Utah: “La realidad de volver” 😢🇻🇪
Después de vivir en Estados Unidos, la familia del influencer @luis_marcano_tattoo regresó al país y su shock al ver cómo está todo se hizo viral.
Caras de sorpresa, silencio y esa mezcla de emoción con tristeza al enfrentar la realidad que dejaron atrás.
Venezuela duele cuando uno vuelve… pero también es el hogar que siempre llama. ❤️🩹
¿Qué opinas? ¿Vale la pena regresar o es mejor seguir luchando afuera?
feeling mildly irresponsible today ⚡

i’ll send sats to a few people and maybe follow some interesting accounts 👀
Marx lived his entire adult life as a dependent. The capitalist system funded his "research" through Engels, whose family wealth came from textile factories. The irony cuts deep: capitalism's profits subsidized its most famous critic.
Marx never held a real job. Never met payroll. Never risked capital or faced bankruptcy. He spent decades theorizing about labor value while avoiding actual labor. His insights into production came from library books, not factory floors.
The parasitic intellectual tradition he spawned continues today. Academic Marxists collect taxpayer-funded salaries while denouncing the market system that creates the wealth they consume.
It's time to get rid of these people.

One of man's deepest desires is not to be a burden on anyone and to earn his way. Burdening others brings him shame. He aspires to self-sufficiency so he can be one that gives rather than takes. He does not pursue independence out of vanity, he covets self-reliance out of honour.
Austin Metcalf was right about Karmelo Anthony. And If it means protecting our families, I’m a proud C.O.O.N. “Creating Our Own Narratives.”
The day I stopped blaming everybody else was the day my life started changing. 🇺🇸 #explore#fyp
13-Year-Old Boy Shoots and Kills Intruder During Home Invasion In North Charleston, South Carolina, a 13-year-old boy who was home alone shot and killed 31-year-old Lamar Anthwan Brown during an attempted break-in. What Happened: The teenager noticed a vehicle pull up to the house and a man attempting to force entry. He retrieved his mother’s pistol and opened fire, striking Brown three times. The boy continued firing as the getaway vehicle drove away. The driver, 28-year-old Ira Bennett, rushed the wounded Brown to Trident Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Background and Charges: Lamar Brown had a lengthy criminal record that included multiple felony convictions and a history of violent crimes. Ira Bennett was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office declined to file any charges against the 13-year-old, determining he acted in self-defense to protect himself and his home.
Who amongst us hasn’t wanted to throw a trashcan at a douche needlessly throwing revs on his crotch rocket as he rides through a peaceful street fair?
But you just can’t for dozens of reasons a judge will inevitably be reading off for you.
