I wish women with vocal fry would stay off the airwaves until they realize how silly they sound. This bizarre affectation is like fingernails down a blackboard. It does not make you sound authoritative or strong, only weak and insecure.

@saylordocs SS also has an disability coverage built in.
Another negative though, your estate doesn't inherit your SS benefits when you die.
English
@saylordocs at 7% annualized, it would take 63 years to hit 10,000 and be able to withdraw 32k a month. So, if you want to retire at 80+, ok. A person starts working at 22, works 40 years, they could pull about 5.2k monthly.
English
The max one can pay into social security per year is $10,453.20.
If you did that every year from age 18 until retirement, the max you’ll get from SS is $4,873 /month.
If you put it into an S&P index fund instead, you would receive $32,583 per month.
Social Security is a scam.
English
@GeneAWitt @saylordocs the employer contribution wasn't considered in the OPs post.
BTW, I think SS is largely a scam.
English
@3rdElwood @saylordocs Did you forget that your employer puts in the same amount as well? You put in 10K+, so does the employer.
They do that instead of have extra money to pay you more.

@nicksortor Why is the USA constantly bringing fear and instability to the Middle East?

🚨 BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance has made an UNPLANNED RETURN to Washington, DC, and his motorcade is racing to the White House
President Trump has summoned his whole national security team to a meeting on Iran.
POTUS is also scheduled to hold a conference call at 1pm ET with the leaders of several Arab nations.

@TinyPilot83 @nicksortor Don't you get tired of being wrong about everything?
English
@nicksortor I'm calling it. Israel has increased the pressure on the orange pedophile, that they will release all they have on him if he dosen't engage Iran right now. And Trump knows the cost of this war is already to high and will loose him the midterms. So he's going to nuke Iran.

@EsotericCD I didn't steal anything. I moved something from a place open to the public to another place open to the public less than 30 ft.
Imagine being charged for taking a chair from one table at a restaurant and putting it at your table.
Get fucked.

And on the other hand, you stole a lectern from the House chamber during a massed attack upon the Capitol. There's that part.

On a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security. USF denied my reentry into college. I had to fight to get my guns rights back. My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk. My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and I lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me. We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it. They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the J6ers, we can finally finish setting things right.

@anthonychen_atx @saylordocs it is a scam because the money is just spent like regular tax dollars. It is like a company putting your 401k money into their own bonds. It is ponzi scheme and beginning to go broke.
English
@saylordocs its not a scam
1) many people pay in little to nothing and they still get benefits
2) most people would not save on their own so would have nothing
3) It is a safety net not a retirement plan

@exjon I had to listen to Hey There Delilah while getting a crown.

@JustDoItPruett @drdrew @AgnosticLiberty @thevivafrei what did he expose besides himself to TSA agents?
English
@drdrew @AgnosticLiberty @thevivafrei Thomas Massie got ousted for exposing the Swamp Trump promised to drain! 🇺🇸
#StandWithMassie
English
People love Thomas Massie. President Trump does not. Now the MAGA / MAHA coalition that got Trump elected is split over their feud – and a brilliant, principled mind is being cast out of Congress. @TheVivaFrei says it's a big mistake that'll cost the GOP in 2028.
English
@drdrew @thevivafrei that is why he lost, because he is so loved.

The data is even more revealing when you remove suicides.
In 2024, America had 15,364 gun homicides.
The same year, Europe had around 62,700 deaths from summer heat.
America had ~2000.
That's a policy choice.
Bryan Beal 🎧@bryanrbeal
The craziest statistic you will hear all year: more Europeans die from summer heat than Americans die from guns

@ErinIshimoticha @SpaceX There is nothing wrong with national pride.

Maybe @SpaceX can ask its engineers not to chant nationalist dogwhistles on the livestream please? 😒

@Incubatedideas @latimes people that never engage in community at all, move to the city to take advantage in the resources, partake in the gentrification of communities, changes the face of the entire city.... has no impact on the city at all?

"Pratt’s loudest fans fundamentally loathe modern-day L.A., and that should chill all other Angelenos," writes The Times' columnist Gustavo Arellano.

@latimes Modern day LA is a post apocalyptic shit hole. Everyone loathes it, that is the problem.

@MTMehan @MZHemingway that isn't exactly what she said, but good work.

When the best-selling author of the new book, Alito, decides your book is a "real literary achievement," you let people know! Thank you, @MZHemingway, for such "a beautiful and unifying testament" to The American Book of Fables!

From NYT publisher AG Sulzberger's speech on press freedom:
"Even unsuccessful lawsuits impose real costs — legal fees, lost time — that may make a news organization think twice about future reporting."
Imagine what being thrown off Twitter and Facebook, your bank, Paypal, Airbnb, and threatened with prison on trumped up charges does to free speech.
