If we want accountability then the anger from that time needs to return.

[Gary @plzbepatient]

Really hate remembering the COVID era. Makes me really mad.

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

If you can’t be bothered to answer a call, text etc then stfu. You do in fact need to reciprocate.

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

If it’s too hard for you to respond to a message, don’t complain about your “lack of village”. If you post online about how great your family life is and also how no one visits, all by myself blah blah ask yourself how you’ve treated the people checking on you.

86. There is a chance, at least as long as I take care of myself I suppose.

When America turns 300, is it possible you’ll be alive to see it? If so, how old will you be?

Comrades! Be prepared to feel the warmth of collectivism!!!!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New York ISO just issued an early warning that we must alleviate the strain on our energy grid statewide.

Please do your part in keeping our power on by:

•Setting your AC to 78 degrees.

•Turning off lights and unplugging electronics you’re not using. 

•Waiting until early morning or late at night to run appliances like dishwashers or laundry machines.

During a historic heatwave, AC will save lives — but only if we keep the grid stable enough for it to stay on.

Correction- cluster b narcissists who have nothing better to do other than be politically obsessed feel like they always do. This is boring, tired and lame. Just stfu already

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

Some Seattle soccer fans have mixed feelings about patriotically backing the U.S. team during the FIFA Men's World Cup, given the actions of President Donald Trump. https://t.co/XooQ8rPjSQ

I do think too, that single professionals do well enough to afford levels of consumption that previously they wouldn’t have. A single person making 150-200k depending on where they live can easily live a luxury lifestyle.

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

There is a reason credit card debt is reaching all time highs. I don’t remember the last stat I heard but it’s at least over 1 trillion for the country

[RÈBELs RÄÎDÈRs @Rebels_Raiders]

Every single hot chick I meet has a $350 a month luxury gym membership and a $4K a month apartment and only wears extremely niche designer clothes.

Every single dude drives a Ford Raptor or some hot rod and is upper half jacked and has box seats to whatever the hell sports ball team.

Every time I leave the house, I’m convinced that I’m the only person who’s not a millionaire

[Raq @raqisright]

Bring back normal people.

Half the right is closeted. They preach the importance of marriage while simultaneously cheating on their wives with men.

No one cares that you’re gay (except maybe you). Don’t drag these bimbo trads into your issues, just because they’re dumb doesn’t mean they deserve it.

The left is worse. They are so obsessed with not being racist that they’re actually the most racist people I’ve ever met.

They preach inclusivity while ostracizing most of the country. They are obsessed with performative acceptance

Freak shows all around.

Bring back normalcy

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

I see these posts all of the time, idk where yall are at but in Michigan we have plenty of bugs in the summer on our cars, or at least I do driving at night.

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

No surprise. Thank all of the people that ask for water cups and fill them up with pop or people that bring in their empty cups to steal pop. That cost adds up like anything else.

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

McDonald’s is phasing out self-serve soda fountains at all U.S. locations by 2032.

The change reflects declining dine-in traffic, as drive-thru and digital orders now account for about 40% of domestic sales in the United States.

[Oliver Jia (オリバー・ジア) @OliverJia1014]

Not an original take, but we really need to stop with endless continuations of nostalgic franchises.

We've had enough nostalgia for the last 20 years. It's fine in small doses, but overdosing on it stifles long-term creativity.

And my god, let's please move on from the 1980s.

[Libriscent @libriscent]

A lot of socializing involves performative interest and my issue is I simply do not give a shit

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

Don’t care the least bit. Been steady at it for 2 years and am down 130+ lbs and slowly getting to be the best shape I’ve ever been in my life (35yrs old currently). I don’t plan to ever stop, need to reach the goal of being the best version of me which I’m close to being.

[HONITEL👑 @HonitelHQ]

The gym is like a cült, and I’m honestly not mad about that. You start going, and it gets to a point where you realize you’re stuck here for the rest of your life.

You miss a week, and everything feels wrong. You’re constantly thinking about meeting your daily protein intake and balancing other nutrients. You’re always checking yourself in the mirror.

Then people ask questions like, “When do you plan to stop going to the gym?” You just look at them and sigh, because why would I stop going when I’ll never stop eating for the rest of my life?

Fitness is one of the best investments you can ever make in yourself. Go to the gym, my friends.

[Ryan 🏳️‍🌈 @mittenman30]

This really is still my beliefs mostly, and while we aren’t loud like the lefty demo socialist or far righties, I think the real silent majority is just people who can’t easily be categorized. Reasonable needs to be louder.

[Tweets from Zach Weinberg @zachweinberg]

Back in my day, being a liberal meant:

- Do you and we won't judge (be gay, be black, be Jewish, whatever, do you)
- Crime is bad. Believing criminals should go to jail and are accountable for their own actions (because society needs safety). Families in particular need safe communities. And safe communities help poor Americans up level their life.
- Business is good! Growing business funds social programs. Pro business! We loved growth. We loved American companies who succeeded, because that helps grow future tax revenue. We believed the pie gets bigger.
- America, while flawed, is awesome. We still loved America and wanted to win.
- Legal immigration is a great thing. Brings smart people to America. Do more of this. More smart people, legally coming here.
- Illegal immigration is not a great thing, because illegal immigrants aren't paying taxes but pull on benefits...this harms the average American who relies on some budget discipline to afford social programs for citizens.

We are now politically homeless. It's sad.

Looksmaxxing. Jestermaxxing. Gym maxing. A whole lot of you would do well with more stfu maxxing tbh

[vivi @mooncatvivi]

oh no i feel bad. think im gonna isolate myself and ghost the few ppl who reach out to me and decompose in my bed and neglect my health and sleep my life away and mindlessly consume media so i dont have the capacity to think and feel. this will Surely make me feel better

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

Events now are exactly as contrived and synchronized as a lot of you suspect, though immense work has been done over time to make them seem organic and independent--and to dull the critical faculties of the audience. It's COVID 2: The Revolution. City by city, state by state, creating a sense of cascading viral spread.

Don't fall for it. And don't go along to get along.

[𝗄𝖺𝗄𝗁𝗈𝗓𝖺 @simphiweyinkoc_]

You ever sit with old friends and realize the only thing keeping the conversation alive is nostalgia.
