Forget Jensen Huang, the Ole Miss girl and the screenshot on the copy link. Important people are talking...

You asked and I delivered. My ironclad plan to fix America:

She needs to stay. America is a Circus and we don't want a government without her
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Even though CNN has called her congressional race, Rep. Lauren Boebert tells TMZ DC's @jacob_wass ballots are still being counted and insists, it’s not over until the fat lady sings!

I would've done this for Quennin who's a far better player than Jordan Davis @NotJackKemp @tealtonedturtle

The people living rich, fulfilling lives and the people demanding you be political all the time are never the same people.
I'm a nerd so I'm currently going through MLB data. In 2015 there were 574 pitches over 100 mph. In 2025 there were 3,701

I’m so glad the sun is finally setting at 4:50 PM so that our kids can barely play outside or have a practice before dark!!
No one changes their mind based on a political ad (thank God)...they're a gigantic waste of money, time and they drive everyone insane
Please respond: Do political ads Change minds? Would someone see an ad for Ken Paxton or Troy Jackson, and decide to vote for Talarico or Collins? I’m curious what you—the group you—think.

Humans don't develop political beliefs to discover what's true....they develop beliefs that reflect and help satisfy their emotional needs, and then use reasoning to justify them

cell phones aren’t druglike, they’re carlike. even if you consciously want to opt out, you can’t, because everyone expects you to have and use one to interact with society. i cannot even use the laundry machines in my building without being forced to use the laundry app.
Cell phone addiction is an absolute thermonuke to the brain and nobody 'takes it seriously' because it is not clear that there is any solution in a world where the revealed preference of everyone across the globe, regardless of income, race, age, any factor whatsoever, would rather be on their phone than do *anything* else. Deciding "I use this too much" and meaningfully altering one's behaviour doesn't seem to have much success for any of the very small minority of people with the sentience or self-reflection to realize how bad it is. Most people seem to think of it as an unproductive habit at most, rather than an addiction. Any attempt to speak seriously about this is met with derision, accusations of pretentiousness. There is no real solution to it. The future of human cognition fifty years down the line is horrifying if you stop and think about it for even a moment.
Nobody takes it seriously. It's a cancer that no one takes seriously
Just like cigarettes permeated society for 50 years(?) after it was proven to lead directly to cancer
