Never forget.

@Michaeldudufudu And they put us on the moon while ushering in the digital revolution. Worth every “gooning”

What you're witnessing here is the beginning of the boomer disease Every man in this pic had a 1950s housewife back home and still chose to goon over a cheap used up hollywood plant.

@baddiescenes Gen Z don’t pay for content, gay or straight. Boomer, Gen X and millennial gays still support their queens

do doechii and lady gaga realize the era of millennial gays has died out and now we gotta start pandering to gen z gays which entails sprinkling in some bit of hyperpop , cyberpunk , or kpop

@MartinShkreli JP Morgan brought this upon themselves by jumping on the DEI bandwagon, coz I refuse to believe someone like this would be hired otherwise

Chirayu is 100% Nepali. Parents came to America, Worked hard as doctors. Unfortunately, had a reckless temper. An incel who never had a girlfriend. Smoked a lot of weed, referred to himself as a n*gga. Hung out with the wrong crowd. Never fit into the rich kid high school.

@Clara_Gold Yep, this is why I’m glad I had volunteered to work the donation phone lines during college Cold calling hundreds of alumni to ask for donations eases you into dealing with rejection Nothing build resilience like hearing phones being slammed or being told to get lost lol

I realized fundraising was the first time in my life I got rejected at scale. And honestly, as a woman, I was not emotionally trained for it. Before the feminists come for me, let me make my point. I think the first real arena where most people experience power, desire, status, and rejection is dating. And dating trains men brutally. A lot of men learn very early that if they want someone, they have to walk across the room, risk looking stupid, get rejected, survive it, and do it again. They learn that rejection is volume, timing, targeting. It’s a numbers game. A lot of women are trained very differently. Especially if you’re a pretty girl, you don’t usually walk into a bar looking at a guy thinking: “Can I have him?” You only think: “Do I want him?”. You don’t build your identity around shooting your shot 100 times and surviving 99 no’s. You don’t get trained to ask directly, get rejected publicly, and act normal 5 minutes later. You get trained to be “chosen”. To be impressive enough that the opportunity comes to you. And then you start building a company. And the whole paradigm changes. Suddenly, everyone can say no to you. Investors say no. Candidates say no. Customers say no. And when your rejection muscle is weak, your brain does the dumbest thing possible: it makes the “no” mean something about you. That you’re not smart enough. Not compelling enough. I think this is one of the most underrated gender differences in fundraising. Not that men are inherently better at it. But a lot of them have built thicker rejection scar tissue earlier. They know how to hear no and keep moving. They know how to make it less personal. They know how to treat it like volume, timing, targeting, iteration. I didn’t. I’ve raised 3 rounds. On the surface, the story looks great: I raised with Sequoia, OpenAI, Khosla. Woohoo. The real story is less sexy: every round wrecked me. I lost 5kg each time. I probably donated a few years of life expectancy to the cap table. Because every round, I only got 1 term sheet. One. EVERYONE else said no. And when almost everyone says no, your body does not care about the intellectually correct explanation. It only hears: Maybe they’re right. Maybe you’re not that compelling. Maybe you’re not the founder you thought you were. For a long time, I thought confidence meant learning not to take the no personally. I don’t believe that anymore. Maybe some people are built like that. I’m not. 30 years of being trained to be chosen does not turn into resilience because someone in a Patagonia vest says fundraising is a numbers game. So now I think confidence is something less glamorous. Confidence is taking the no very personally. Letting it ruin your day, losing your appetite, spiraling for hours… And still taking the next meeting. Confidence is just being bothered as f*** and not letting it make you smaller. I still don’t fully believe my own BS as I’m writing this, but I guess that’s the point. Can’t wait for the next round to find out.

@NnPnemck I can only imagine the pain Charlie would have felt knowing how abjectly cruel his widow is treated after his death

Every single woman who attended high school knows exactly what is happening to Erika.

@iExposingCrazy Prom in America is more fun coz it’s more young and wild and free is what I think

What do you think?

@localcheetowife @GilroyMusic You forget the part where they also have to rewatch their recording on replay in order to EDIT it into a video.

@GilroyMusic When I see videos like this I find it deeply depressing to think about them propping their phone up somewhere 10 feet away to record themselves just like sitting there

This deeply haunted vibe...

Long live the era of absolutely massive atriums Peak American design

@ichriecheblut Desperate Housewives is my fav of this genre. Totally agree about the female friendship part. We need more media celebrating that

what made sex and the city great also is that is was a full show about grown adult women not teens not coming of age, women! i need so much more of that media in my life! make more shows about women’s lives and friendships!

when I was a kid i used to think this was the best pop song ever made. then i grew up and matured and realised that this is absolutely the best pop song ever made

The “80s Hong Kong pre-wedding” style is a photography aesthetic designed to capture the raw, unfiltered side of marriage, focusing on authenticity and candid emotion rather than polished, staged perfection.

@Mericamemed Oh man I miss Jason Biggs, such an underrated actor

These videos hit so much harder than they should

@CartelWifey Mistresses are just part of Chinese rich man culture tho. The wife don’t really care because she was never truly in love with the husband to begin with 🤷‍♀️

Haha, what I find funny about the redpill community is how these older men lie to themselves about how they’re more desirable alphas when they age, deserving of the younger female baddies, especially when they earn a lot of money. Meanwhile, these younger girls are taking their “alpha’s” money and spending it on their own side dude cuz he’s obviously younger, hotter and more pretty-boy handsome. 😆 Tate’s “girlfriends” have side dudes, gentlemen, 100% guaranteed!! Tale as old as time lmao.

@Kittywampus @Witnessno2 @supermoongirl9 Yup lol homemade junk food is still junk food.

@Witnessno2 @supermoongirl9 And a homemade Pop Tart is healthier … how? Mind you, I am a fan of the Pop Tart and would happily sample one made from scratch. I just wouldn’t have any illusions that it was somehow more virtuous. (Yes, I’m aware it would lack preservatives. But it’s still not broccoli!)

this is such a good breakdown of the fascination with any kind of content that is tradwife adjacent and how it's linked to the sociological theory of conspicuous waste among other things (and what the uranus in taurus transit was all about) (via maisonrickie on ig)

2000s was so accurate, almost all the cool kids have those lime green walls and neon colored accessories 😆

@ColinEFLawrence @tonytost I watched Robocop at 5 when it was broadcasted on TV. Was traumatized less than Captain Planet showing how the world was going up in flames

@tonytost Hard agree. At what age do we start showing violent movies? My boys are pretty young, but I'm V tempted to throw on the Criterion uncut Robocop

I blame the parents. A part of childhood should be spent watching your dad's favorite violent movies & suffering through your mom's favorite songs in the car. That's how a living cultural memory is transmitted -- not via a perpetual bubble of age-appropriate content.
