Finally someone with a sensible take on Timothéegate 🙌 https://t.co/sUDTQ19xpV

The (d)evolution of society, I suppose 😞

No one is an artist, musician, designer, filmmaker, actor anymore. They’re all influencers whose content is art, music, design, film, acting etc

I’m continually amazed by how people use garages for everything but parking cars

I'm increasingly convinced the key to life is simply being yourself. When you hide your personality, you attract high maintenance relationships.

Stop compromising yourself to be liked. The right people will stick. The wrong ones will walk. Let them.

@kornfreak78 @thetripathi58 I’m sorry to hear that. Money is a real hindrance, especially these days. (I face a similar challenge.) Hopefully one or more of these pointers can help you begin changing your circumstances, by getting you into a situation where you can gain income

He literally explained how to get unstuck in 30 seconds.

And we wonder why the world has ceased seeing America as a beacon

It’s taken me a painfully long time to truly see that most people are not creative.

And mass reliance on AI is only widening the gap

Paranoia often involves a certain kind of hubris, a distinct disinterest in other people’s actual inner lives.

Only the grandiose assume that the world cares enough about them to persecute them. They project their darkest fears and tendencies onto boogie men that don’t exist

Dear baby Jesus

I don’t ask for much

Just grant me, in 2026, the calm and the nonchalance of this girl to face the fires of life

That would be enough for me 🔥

When you’ve been outside the country for a good while, it’s always jarring to hear a random American accent in your vicinity. It’s like, “Geez, we sound like *that*?!”

I’ve often said that expectations are the devil, but really it’s excuses. Excuses produce disappointment when expectations are justified

[Jared Griffin @jaredtgriffin]

Unfortunately the resurgence of genocidal antisemitism proves that it’s not enough. Amid Israel’s questionable decisions, even former white allies (and fellow minorities) have seemed to abandon their support in favor of a “new” persecuted group. It’s a tough, tough time (3/3

[Jared Griffin @jaredtgriffin]

We’ve seen such awful, unjustifiable violence against the Jewish community in the past week. With so much hatred they’ve faced over the centuries, it’s a wonder that bitterness never feels to be their predominant language, the way it often has for blacks (1/3)

[Jared Griffin @jaredtgriffin]

One might say that centuries of slavery and subsequent poverty are likely to leave an acrid taste in the mouth. In the West, Jews enjoy a certain whiteness or adjacency to whiteness, which has undoubtedly shielded them from certain indignities while aligning them with power (2/3)

There’s always something perverse about giving accessories like hats and scarves and shoes to otherwise naked characters like Pooh, the Grinch, and Frosty. They’re NAKED. Making them half-clothed only draws attention to their NAKEDNESS

The longstanding tradition of Hollywood movies decrying the very corrupt capitalist pencil pushers who produce them must be the the greatest joke ever told

[Jared Griffin @jaredtgriffin]

@publius_val @shaneparrish Exactly!

[Jared Griffin @jaredtgriffin]

Something curious that I’ve also found about cabs in India: often, drivers don’t listen to music or take calls—at least when I’m present (admittedly as a foreigner).

Does the silence provide respite from the chaos of modern life? Meditation? Do they not get bored?
