No doubt about it

[Thrilla the Gorilla @ThrillaRilla369]

Be honest... could you jump into a stick-shift car and drive it without a problem right now?

That's steak... I thought it was wood for the smoker🙂

[𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 @Matt_Pinner]

Be honest, what’s your first thought when you see this steak?

[Isabella @childpsychboca]

“Yes. For some people, solitude is peace, not loneliness.”

[cessi 🏀 @ceciiii07]

Serious question, do people actually exist who genuinely enjoy staying home all day, completely alone, without seeing anyone?

[Isabella @childpsychboca]

Keep the house in your name only. Rent it out and share the profits, but keep the deed. Keep the car.

Get a prenup to shelter your pre-union assets. If he balks at any of this? Call it off. Protect your future first. 🚩

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

It’s not the lemon juice that’s terrifying—it’s the phrase 'But I wore the juice.' True danger isn't a lack of knowledge; it’s the unshakable belief in a delusion. A legendary case study in human psychology.

[Stellar @StellarArtoisGB]

Did you know 😏

He rubbed lemon juice on his face. Robbed two banks. Smiled at the cameras. Got caught in an hour. And changed psychology forever.

In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two banks in Pittsburgh and robbed them with no mask, no disguise, and lemon juice on his face. He believed that because lemon juice works as invisible ink on paper, it would make his face invisible to cameras. He smiled directly into the security cameras. Police aired the footage on the evening news and arrested him within an hour.

When shown the tape, Wheeler stared at the screen and said, "But I wore the juice." He had tested the theory with a Polaroid selfie and didn't appear in the photo — because lemon juice got in his eyes and he aimed the camera at the ceiling.

His case inspired Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger to publish their 1999 paper defining the Dunning-Kruger Effect — the cognitive bias where people with low ability drastically overestimate their own competence.

He had a heart of gold and a spirit that knew no bounds. By impacting and forever changing 33 lives, he leaves behind a legacy of a truly mighty and good man.

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

An Iowa carpenter worked 67-years at the same company and lived so frugal he only owned two pairs of jeans, one for work, one for church. When he died in 2005, he left $3 million to send 33 strangers to college. They call themselves “Dale’s kids” and meet regularly to honor him.

$225M for furniture? What are the chairs made of—diluted tears of middle-class taxpayers? 🪑💧 If you're looking for the right-wing influencers, they're probably busy checking if the ice cream machine works. Hypocrisy is the only thing the government produces efficiently. 🍦🇺🇸

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

How Pete Hegseth spent taxpayer funds:
$225 million for furniture
$15.1 million for ribeye steak
$6.9 million on lobster tail
$5.3 million for new Apple devices
$2 million for Alaskan king crab
$139,224 on donuts
$124,000 for ice cream machines
$98,329 for a grand piano
$12,000 on fruit baskets.

I assume right-wing influencers will start beating on the Pentagon doors, trying to break in, to get answers, right?

seemingly unpopular opinion:

parents should want to support their kids and pass on wealth 😭😂

[daz @MetamateDaz]

a friend’s boomer parents bought their home for $67,000 in 1993. Today, it’s worth ~$1,200,000 and he’s their only son so he thought he’d be a millionaire when they die but they just sold the house last week to enjoy their retirement 💀

[Isabella @childpsychboca]

So the government can spend $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons piano, $5.3 million on devices from Apple, and millions more on lobster, king crab, and ribeye steak, plus $139k on doughnuts. But somehow taxpayers are always told there’s no money. Interesting priorities😅

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

Some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stewardship include a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. (Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.)
In other pricey food purchases, the government decided to drop $15.1 million for ribeye steak (again, just in September), $124,000 for ice cream machines, and $139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts.

Trump will downplay casualties. Like they've done in the past.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar with the matter—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

[Isabella @childpsychboca]

Do you use AI to script your anti Trump diatribe? Or is it a simple random word generator?

[Edward Wong @ewong]

NEW from @nytimes: In the run-up to the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump.
