bridge the gap

[Owen @Owennfa]

My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.

I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.

He said "so save up."

I said the down payment alone is $82,000.

He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."

I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.

He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.

Then he said something I didn't expect.

"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."

Then he just sat there for a second.

"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."

That's it. That's the whole conversation.

He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.

Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.

Love me some @BreakingPointsN when @esaagar and @krystalball get into a genuine debate. Such great discourse 👏👏

It's amazing how 6 hours after the DOJ was ordered to release the unredacted Epstein files we are back to full on airstrikes in Iran.

I guess honor and integrity really are dead.

Gotta hand it to the pilots of @JetBlue flight B6 215. I fly a ton and that was the smoothest landing I’ve ever experienced. The whole cabin looked around to make sure we were actually on the ground as we slowed. Against those SFO winds too. Nice 👏

Still recovering from this scene.

@mtgreenee Damn. I was on this train years ago and lost some good people trying to explain they were being tricked. It’d be cool to see those MAGA diehards at least go, ‘hey, my bad’

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

Remember the intensity of the fist in the air during assassination attempt? I recall being like…uh…no. This is fishy.
And the rebukes I got were swift. I get it. You’re realizing now. But the inability to admit you got played will just make you playable again. #trump

@elonmusk Per usual, you're a gullible POS who loves to boost misleading garbage

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

The dangers of any religion, righteousness, or isolation.

The willingness to change, to work, and to grow might be my favorite value. Worth its weight in gold. Don’t miss it.

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

@Hertz @DollarCar definitely misunderstood the definition of car reservation.

There’s supposed to be a car.

Not a line on 20 people being told they only have 15 passenger vans.

😂🫠 ah well, gold membership is for naught.

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

We are all being tricked. Not just the other side. Discernment is the new form of intelligence.

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

People asking what happened to Donald Trump since voting him in as he betrays them…did yalls pride really make you ignore the DECADES of receipts on how shitty this man is?!? How corrupt? How terrible his character is?!?!? Do you really just hate democrats that much??? #trump

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

The goal is to keep as many moderates and independents on both sides running to a respective corner using narrative, pathos, and smokescreens. Keep vigilant. We’re closer to the middle than we’re tricked to think. What if we came together rather than called the other side crazy?

[Bryan Patrick @bryanpatrickm1]

Dependence on a ‘side’ makes us weak thinkers.
You don’t erode your values, integrity, religion, and honor by calling out something wrong. You DO by staying silent. Or lying about it. Stand up. Say. Something.

[Leah (Prime) is at North Star✨ @leahprime]

you are allowed to say, at any point, ‘I can't support this.’

even if you did. even if you were unsure.

you can say ‘this has gone too far.’ and while the best time to say that was earlier, the second best time is now.

[Dr. Christian Casteel @DrCasteelEM]

Debating MAGA is like playing chess with a pigeon. You hit them with a checkmate and they just shit on the board and still declare victory.
