I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Age verification? I stood in the kitchen to talk to my girlfriend bc the telephone cord didn’t reach anywhere else.
Age verification? I made my mom take to K-Mart to buy the cassette of the hottest song in the country..."Jump" by Kris Kross.
Age verification? I had to make sure the family computer in the living room was turned all the way off before midnight on December 31, 1999

Glad that some Dem governors are starting to figure it out. Now if only we could clear out DC of those relics who still don’t get it.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

We know WWE doesn’t give a shit about actual attendance since they get paid regardless, but this is an awful look to be doing the #RoyalRumble in a 25k venue even if it were sold out, after getting 70k in the building in 2025.

Funny, here I thought the most dangerous ice we’d hear about this weekend would be from the winter storm. Fuck off you Call of Duty worshiping bastards.

Not that Fifa will do it, but Federal agents repeatedly killing innocent people in the streets in broad daylight with multiple witnesses and without accountability seems like a justifiable a reason to have World Cup hosting duties taken away.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.
MS NOW news crew capturing ICE/DHS agents firing pepper balls, flash bangs, and tear gas at non violent protesters.

If this doesn’t hit you as the most depressing thing happening in education right now, I don’t know what to tell you.
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

If you can’t enjoy the ride of a show ending like @netflix.com Stranger Things, I feel bad for you. Choose to not buy into culture of hating anything that isn’t perfect that has permeated social media. Just be a fan of entertainment like in the days before Facebook and Twitter. Stop embracing hate.

More terrifying monetization of our new normal, the scam/grift/do-as-little-as-possible-useful-work economy. The current iteration of the internet has destroyed the concept of genuine work. Congrats.

X's location "transparency" feature showing many MAGA accounts are based internationally reveals what we already knew: The world is using American social media and American politics as a slot machine and social media companies are directly incentivizing this:

America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.

Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
