@esanzi Hope you never visit Northern Europe. You’ll be thrown out lol

Hosting an event or a party at your home and requiring that guests remove their shoes when they arrive is rude. And weird. And reveals an irrational concern over dirt and germs. If you insist on doing this, make sure the invitation includes a warning!

@marctorrence What

This will sound like an obnoxious “only in New York thing” but randomly deciding to walk 6 miles home from work because it’s a nice day and you want some fresh air is really an amazing experience you can’t get anywhere else

@PursueTruth92 That’s so easily fixed. The leaders, President, Speaker, etc. need shut down all the crazies like Randy Fine. Instead, they promote those guys. So it’s not a Democrat propaganda, the Republicans WANT to be perceived that way 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤯

I’ve been a registered Republican for seven months. I travel across Colorado for my work, and despite it being a Democrat-dominated state, I see that a majority of Coloradans (including a significant number of gays), align on the actual issues with a conservative platform. Where the GOP has failed, and the Democrats continue to succeed, is on identity politics and “guilt by association” branding. I meet people every day who are fundamentally conservative but will not consider voting Republican because they’ve been convinced by an onslaught of Democrat propaganda that doing so would associate themselves with “pedophiles” or “racists” or “anti-progressives.” So out of social shame and conformist pressure to be viewed as “nice,” they vote for the Democrats and their destructive policies. The @GOP needs to develop a smart, targeted marketing campaign on social media that interviews diverse Republicans and independents about why they are conservative. Why is the Republican Party asleep at the wheel on marketing (and so many other issues like the SAVE act)?

The replies to this are mind blowing. When I started working, it was basic training that you take care of attending to basic hygiene. That includes deodorant even if it is a sweet smell. Fact is, a workplace should be bland and inoffensive. Have I become a grumpy old man?

@nickimoraa Of course?? Personal hygiene at work is important.

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

@LICbreaks @AmericanAir It sucks, especially for your honeymoon. But there’s a war in the middle east. It’s not like airlines are perisnally victimizing you

I didn’t personally request anything from them. I understand things happen all the time, but I thought basic customer service 101 would prevail since they let me pay for something they don’t actually offer and what’s being given in return is not what I paid for. I can’t do the refund option because prices today are double…and they know that.

So @AmericanAir cancels our honeymoon flights, stops servicing our destination airport from JFK, and rebooks us on a new flight to a connecting city adding 8 hours of travel time. Paid for nonstop flights, but American can’t provide that anymore for some reason. Can’t get a refund and book elsewhere because prices have doubled since we originally booked. Customer service was horrific, but “rest assured”, they hear me 😂 absolute joke

@danielledsouzag Where’s the prayer? All I see is a guy proselytizing and self aggrandizing with a captive audience.

This San Antonio, Texas Chick-fil-A manager has gone viral for praying for his customers and encouraging them to “stick to God” during lunch. More of this, please! God bless him. 🙏

@blip_tm But look at the target demo 😆

i don't know why "robot that folds laundry" is such a pervasive idea it takes a maybe 15 minutes to fold laundry, or i can take my laundry to a laundromat and get it washed and folded for $1.50/lb it's just not a big enough chore to justify an expensive purchase like a robot!

@BBQdTurnips @DjmMorrison @ronrule Takes like 5 minutes? That’s a lot easier than teaching them how to relate to other people?

@DjmMorrison @ronrule @benecoleman The company I work for hires under 30s. One of the responsibilities of my job is to teach newbies (public school kids) "how to operate a screwdriver". There is a manual, none of them have read it, nor could understand it.

If you homeschool your kids, you should be exempt from the portion of your property taxes that goes to the local schools.

@CCamosy If laws are well written, and judges are capable, then ideally there’s never disagreement. 39% is actually a lot

even the justices who are most disagreeable (Kagan and Alito) find themselves agreeing a whopping 61 percent of the time

@taipan168 @disco___cat Is this how we finally get them to downsize lol

Sucks to be you, mate. Nobody has the right to preserve their suburb exactly as it was when they bought their house in 1989. smh.com.au/national/nsw/i…

@LICbreaks @AmericanAir They’re offering a full refund. What else can they do? Just curious what did you request them to do, pay for your new flights?

@AmericanAir I paid for a nonstop flight, you can’t provide that anymore, although you let me pay for it. As mentioned, I lose money if I get a refund and rebook today. This is what people should expect when booking with @AmericanAir ?

When breaking news is happening, I want to search and quickly get all the headlines. Twitter used to be great for this, now I just use Google.

@nikitabier @JohnCarreyrou @NateSilver538 In the past, Elon was pretty clear that news companies are just deliberately throttled because he doesn’t like them. Is that no longer the case?

@JohnCarreyrou @NateSilver538 This is how the New York Times should be posting, not DDoS’ing X with link and 1 sentence captions

The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, has remained unsolved for 17 years. Not anymore. Read my 18-month investigation to find out who Satoshi really is. nytimes.com/2026/04/08/bus…

@PrishaMosley I think it’s easy to see the sisters as manipulated by the stepmom, who was the real villain?

Who benefits when we teach kids that all villains are just misunderstood and there’s no evil?

| love when airlines are like ooooooh we didn't realize you'd ALL be bringing a bag

@cameracoz @MCCCANM Airlines would get such better cooperation if they explained the reasons for their rules

@MCCCANM Thanks for explaining the reasoning about not moving the seat if you lose your phone!

Power Banks on airplanes worry me the most. Never pack them in a checked bag. The cargo compartment has a fire detection system, and a gas fire suppression system (like halon, but I don’t recall if that’s it). Still, we can’t get into it in flight to fight a fire. For carry on, pack it where it’s easily accessible. The idea will be to remove it & put it in a “fire bag” which are pretty effective at containing battery fires. That’s harder to do if you’ve packed it beneath a bunch of stuff that may now also be on fire. If you drop your phone in the seat & can’t find it, do NOT move your seat. You may crunch the phone & ignite the battery. Ask a Flight Attendant for assistance. A cabin fire is at the top of most of our worst nightmares. The Oxygen masks won’t drop – they don’t seal, so it won’t keep smoke out & now we’re feeding pure oxygen to a fire. We’ll be diverting immediately, but it will take time to get on the ground. If the smoke gets too bad, we can “dump” the cabin pressure if needed & clear it out pretty quickly, but that’s a last resort & wont work well below 10,000’ or so. I’ve been told China is starting to ban power banks on airplanes. We may eventually get to that point here. If you have to bring one, make sure it’s in good condition. If you have one of those suitcases with a built in battery, just be aware you’ll have to remove it before checking your bag. If it’s carry on, make sure you can get it out of the bag quickly if needed. Thank you & fly safe!

@MCCCANM Is this also because so many people are buying the cheapest one they can find?

@DineshDSouza What is that experiment meant to prove? 🤦🏻‍♂️ The names, and situation, are not comparable in any way

@JeremyDBoreing You’re just the same as the DC liberals who say we should just accept rampant crime and shooting because it’s been that way for so long. Doesn’t make it ok

Donald Trump has been a national politician for a decade. Anyone still reacting to the guy’s negotiating tactics and hyperbole with this sort of hysteria ten years in should be disqualified from political commentary. If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one. When he doesn’t, this crew will admit nothing and find some other comment to be scandalized by.
