Lifelong New Yorker until I made my great escape from NY where the taxes are high and the common sense is low. Fluent in sarcasm 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 ✡️

I need to make a very PUBLIC announcement on behalf of younger GenXers and older Millennials.

If you see someone in their 40s or 50s who seems a little boring now, I need you to understand something...

We already got it in.

Like...GOT. IT. IN.

We are not sitting home on a Friday night because we never knew how to have fun.
We are sitting home on a Friday night because we have seen enough.

We went to parties in houses that should have been condemned and were almost certainly owned by the local drug dealer.

We saw police lights and RAN and not across a nice, flat field.
INTO THE WOODS.

Do you understand the athleticism required to hurdle uprooted tree roots in platform shoes while simultaneously trying to keep your low-rise jeans from sliding completely off your ass?

And somehow...we never spilled the Zima. We never spilled the Boone’s Farm.

That was TALENT.

We slept on floors in strange houses because the designated driver either never showed up or, in a shocking turn of events, was drunker than everybody else.

There was no Uber, Life360 or Find My Friends.
There was just somebody named Mike saying, “I know a shortcut.”

And we FOLLOWED MIKE.

We closed down bars and then decided the night was still young, so we drove to Atlantic City, where we somehow managed to get drunk, sober up, get drunk again, sober up again and then get drunk a THIRD TIME before breakfast.

And according to our parents? We were at Michelle’s house.

Eating pizza and watching movies.

Michelle’s mother unknowingly covered for approximately 17 people every weekend. If there even was a Michelle.

We drank things called Purple Passion, Mad Dog 20/20 and whatever somebody mixed inside a giant plastic garbage can. Nobody asked what was in it. You grabbed a red Solo cup and trusted the process.

We went to clubs until the lights came on. Do you know the psychological damage of seeing a nightclub with the LIGHTS ON? Nothing good happens after those lights come on.

We danced for four straight hours in shoes that permanently altered the structure of our feet.

We made entire plans without cell phones...no texts, dropped pins or group chats...just an extremely questionable sense of direction.

We rode in cars with 11 people when the vehicle legally seated five. Someone was always sitting on someone. Someone was always in the hatchback.
And there was always one friend yelling, “DUCK!” when we passed a cop.

So yes...now we like being home.
We like sweatpants.
We like cancelling plans.
We like saying, “That sounds fun!” with absolutely no intention of attending.
We like restaurants at 5:30 because we can get a good table.
We like being home by 8:17.

And if someone texts at 9:30 PM and says, “What are you doing?”
Sleeping...we are sleeping.

Because this is not boring my friends...this is retirement.

We already played, partied and danced on the bar.
We already ran from the cops through a wooded area dressed like a Spice Girl.

We have stories that cannot be posted because there are still people with careers, marriages and reputations to protect. And thank GOD there were no camera phones.

So kids, when you look at your Gen X and older Millennial parents sitting peacefully on the couch watching Dateline at 8 PM and think:
“God, you guys are boring.”

Sweetheart...oh sweetheart.
You are looking at retired legends.

Put some respect on our names. We're probably the reason Life360 was invented.

Fuck off, you absolute piece of shit.

I was living in New York City on September 11, 2001. It was such a beautiful, clear, sunny day—one of those perfect September mornings in New York.

I remember watching the second plane hit and my brain simply not being able to comprehend what my eyes were seeing. I remember the awful smell that lingered for weeks, the memorials throughout the city, and the countless photographs posted by families desperately searching for loved ones who would never come home.

So many innocent lives were lost. So many families were changed forever. And so many first responders showed us what true courage looks like.

Twenty-five years later, I still think about both the horror of that day and the way our country came together afterward. We were reminded that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.

Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” That feels especially important today. Our freedom and our democracy should never be taken for granted. Each generation has a responsibility to protect them and pass them on.

Today, I remember New York, those we lost, and everyone whose life was forever changed.

We will never forget.

.@edsheeran I brought my wife and two daughters to MetLife Friday because we are huge fans of yours. We arrived early, I spent $180 on two sweatshirts for them, watched the first two opening acts and were having a great time.

Then Macklemore decided to turn your concert into his political rally.

When he started chanting “Free Palestine” and pushing his clearly uneducated version of the Israel/Gaza conflict, my daughters looked at me completely confused. I had brought them to an Ed Sheeran concert, not to have an opening act lecture them about Middle East politics.

After Friday night, I started looking into Macklemore’s history. What I found, including his repeated use of antisemitic tropes, made the whole thing even worse.

So I took my family and walked inside alongside hundreds of your other fans. As we were walking in, even the MetLife security guards were rolling their eyes at what was happening on stage.

We waited until Macklemore was finished before returning to our seats. Then we watched your show, which was phenomenal.

I left Friday hoping maybe this had caught you and your team off guard.

Then tonight you allowed it to happen again.

You knew exactly what Macklemore had done the night before, and you gave him the stage again.

Friday might have been Macklemore’s decision. Saturday was yours.

You have a lot of Jewish fans who love your music, buy your albums and merchandise, and bring their kids to your concerts.

Tonight, you lost four of them. And I suspect plenty more.

I am currently in downtown Austin. There are @Tesla Cybercabs EVERYWHERE. All of the Cybercabs in these clips have no steering wheels or pedals.

Makes the vibe downtown feel so futuristic. Can’t wait for tomorrow! 🤖

There are few “absolutes” in life. Biological sex is one of them. The argument is about fairness and protecting biological women in women’s sports and spaces. Wishing to be something and emulating it are not the same as biologically being it. https://t.co/FYYHVCRoaf

It came y'all... My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y'all don't "yassss queen" you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies. 💅🏽

@EnesFreedom @WNBA Awesome 😎

[EscapeFromNY @EscapeFromN_Y]

@SophieCunningham Just wanted to say thank you. I’m a fan, and I appreciate your willingness to speak up with both conviction and compassion. I don’t believe advocating for fair competition in women’s sports makes someone transphobic, just as believing transgender people deserve dignity and respect doesn’t require agreement on every policy question. Both ideas can coexist. Thank you for your grace and your voice.

[EscapeFromNY @EscapeFromN_Y]

@BowesChay Definitely Hunger Games vibes

[EscapeFromNY @EscapeFromN_Y]

@YaGirlJiggy the word “transphobia” has become a conversation stopper. Believing biological sex is real and relevantespecially when discussing women’s sports or protected spaces, isn’t the same as hating transgender people. We should be able to have that discussion without reducing every disagreement to bigotry.

Happy 250th Birthday America!

[EscapeFromNY @EscapeFromN_Y]

Love this video!

[EscapeFromNY @EscapeFromN_Y]

As we celebrate 250 years of America, let’s remember that our independence came at a tremendous personal cost to those who fought for it and those who signed the Declaration. They risked, and many lost, their fortunes, homes, freedom, and lives. The liberties we enjoy today were earned through sacrifice, not given freely.

So Donald Trump was Hitler, and all of us nazis, for a rally at Madison Square Garden. But the far left candidate with a Nazi tattoo is celebrated.

You don’t hate the media enough

On August 14, 2025, the Pentagon confirmed the authenticity of a Navy video showing a pyramid-shaped UFO, or UAP The footage depicts the mysterious object moving with precision and speed beyond known human technology, leaving both military analysts and the public astounded.

The confirmation reignites decades-long speculation about unidentified aerial phenomena, particularly pyramid-shaped craft previously reported by pilots and radar systems Experts emphasize that the object’s unique geometry and flight patterns challenge conventional aerodynamics and hint at technology far beyond current human capabilities.

Whether an advanced classified vehicle, extraterrestrial technology, or an unexplained atmospheric phenomenon, the Pentagon’s acknowledgment underscores that the skies still hold mysteries that demand scrutiny It fuels curiosity, debate, and wonder about what humanity has yet to uncover above.
