Men of European descent built the modern world - and will never be forgiven for doing so.

So much of modern politics is rooted in this embarrassing reality and the resentment it causes. And white men don’t stand up for themselves nearly enough, so it persists.

There has been more black on white violence toward Caitlyn Clark than white on black violence in the entire United States .

Some top deathbed regrets.

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

I wish I didn’t work so hard.

I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

I wish I let myself be happier.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

Marcus Aurelius was right. You will lose friends you will lose lovers you will lose comfort but if in losing them you find yourself you have gained more than kings.

Ohtani is better than Babe Ruth.
Ohtani is better than Barry Bonds.
Ohtani is better than Hank Aaron.
Ohtani is better than Willie Mays.
Ohtani is better than Ted Williams.
Ohtani is better than Ty Cobb.

The debate is over.
Shohei Ohtani is the greatest of all-time.

the reason you feel insane is because all of your "hobbies" are nothing more than glorified consumption. you won't find God in $15k a month of skis, camera gear, or coffee machines. you NEED to create something, just go BUILD, a chair, a bench, carve some wood, anything, please

Social media has made the world the same almost everywhere. Sort of pointless to travel unless you have a psychological need to check off some arbitrary list. Exception is hiking. Different trails are different. Otherwise it’s the same food, same brands, same everything.

Euros are intolerable. They are a loser culture and countries. Most of the ones who come over to the 🇺🇸 are shitlibs. Same with Canada. I don’t want anyone except Afrikaans and thought criminals from UK allowed here. Eff the rest of Europe. Cucks.

"Steppin' Out" was inspired by the excitement of New York nightlife, where Joe Jackson lived after the divorce.

It became his biggest hit in the US (#6 on the Billboard Hot 100) https://t.co/IUD85Vu21y

The 1990's were amazing. Quality of life has gotten worse. You need to make so much money to live the kind of idyllic life that even poor kids like me had. Being poor always sucked, but you could still ride bikes, hang with friends, get some dime store candy. Much harder now.

[RAMZPAUL @ramzpaul]

The thing that many Boomers can't understand is that America is now a weak country. Our industry has been outsourced. Prostitution (OnlyFans) is the most lucrative profession for our girls. The birth rate has collapsed. The debt is growing at an alarming rate. All the institutions are anti-white. Our politicians are controlled by a foreign power. Savages kill and rob people on the street with impunity. Homosexuality is our highest value.
