My cousin who I haven’t spoken to since around 2021/2022 after she became irate after I shared Covid information with her grandmother, posted that she lost her Mom, son, and uncle in 2020.
She lost her step-sister, fiancé and who would have been in MIL in 2021.
She lost her best friend, brother, and two of her friends from high school in 2022. (She is in her mid 40s).
She lost her aunt, 2 cousins, a friend from work, and her manager in 2023.
She lost two dogs that originally belong to one of her cousins that passed on her father’s side after only having them for a few weeks in 2024.
The same year, her daughter who is now 11 years old, lost her best friend and her best friend’s Mom died. She also lost both of her remaining aunts.
In 2025, her department combined with another department at work because what used to be 8 people was now down to 2.
Three people died. Two went out on medical leave and didn’t return, and one went out on disability in December 2024.
She stated that most of her weekends in 2026 has been driving her grandmother to funerals..and that her grandmother has outlived all 6 of her children….5 daughters including her mother, (one daughter died in Nov/Dec 2019 from “pneumonia”), and a son.
THEN SHE SAID….. “I can’t even imagine Covid being as bad as the SUPER COLDS that they couldn’t shake. Knock on wood, none of us got Covid.”
….and for me…this is why distance is good to maintain sanity,

This is the perfect metaphor for capitalism, consumerism, the U.S. economy, insurance, and at least a dozen other things
During university, I had a ✨GROUP PROJECT✨, so we rented a ✨TINY✨ private library room to work together.
The first person to arrive brought a ✨LARGE PEPPERONI PIZZA✨ that made the entire room smell absolutely ✨HEAVENLY✨. I arrived after him, but I’m a ✨VEGETARIAN✨, so I didn’t touch the pizza.
Then the other group members ✨ARRIVED✨. One dude assumed that the ✨PIZZA BRINGER✨ had brought the pizza for everyone and reached for a slice.
The pizza bringer ✨SLAPPED HIS HAND AWAY✨ and got ✨EXTREMELY PISSED✨.
Because it turns out that this man had brought an entire ✨LARGE PIZZA✨ into a ✨TINY, ENCLOSED ROOM✨ exclusively for ✨HIMSELF✨ and was absolutely ✨INDIGNANT✨ that anyone would assume he intended to share it. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
But why would you bring an entire ✨LARGE, AROMATIC PIZZA✨ into a tiny room full of people, fill the room with the ✨IRRESISTIBLE SCENT OF PEPPERONI✨, and then act offended when someone assumes you might be willing to share a slice⁉️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It was the 🌟SLAPPING🌟 of group members’ hands that had me ✨DYING✨ 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

We don’t need razors with 9 blades, 37 different kinds of bbq sauce or a refrigerator that connects to wifi, we need healthcare and affordable groceries

Elon is deliberately trying to pop the AI bubble and crash the stock market because he thinks he can pick up one of the labs and get plenty of compute for cheap in the aftermath. He knows the hyperscalers and labs have no moat anyway, so he’s kicking the legs out from under the whole thing.
Mark my words. He hasn’t suddenly realized the AI market is smoke and mirrors. He’s under pressure from the Starlink situation and he’s making a move to kill the chatbot industry because he thinks he’s in a position to rule over the ashes.
He’s not wrong. He’s just right for the wrong reasons.

AI has given a new generation of compulsively lying psychopaths a new tool for deceiving everyone.

Elon Musk didn’t create Tesla.
He bought it.
He didn’t create X.
He bought Twitter and ruined it.
He didn’t invent the rockets, propulsion systems or telemetry of SpaceX. He used NASA tech and poached their engineers.
He’s a venture capitalist and a college dropout. That’s it.

Holy shit.
Dutch intelligence has uncovered Jared Kushner’s role as a Mossad agent.

The Democrats WILL NOT fight for Medicare for All.
They will not fight for a living wage of at least $25 an hour.
They will not fight for ending all US aid to the genocidal, apartheid state of Israel.
They will not fight to cut record-high military budgets.
And Democrats will not impeach Trump for rampant corruption or for the war crime of bombing the Minab girls' school and killing 120 little children.
.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto."
"If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."
I remember when cars were purely mechanical devices. No software. No data storage. No telemetry.

Trump: "A lot of people don't know what incumbent means"
It does after all have a letter "B" in it. 🤣🤣🤣
