@rjstumpfjr @VitalVegas "Give me your money or I'll call you greedy!" Pure comedy🤣🤣🤣

@VitalVegas The greed is astounding. It’s 10. MILLION. DOLLARS. The comments here are flooring me. Are you “people” bots? Much of Vegas, especially SERVICE, is a tip based system. If you don’t want to tip. Go elsewhere. The world has gone nuts.

Follow-up: informed older couple from Iowa tipped zero for a $10 million jackpot, not even the $4 left on the machine after the jackpot. Cashed it out and took it with them. Do better, humans.

Countries with the most civilian-held firearms per capita Wait until you see where the U.S. lands 🇺🇸🔥

@AustinJustice @Judyallbrite The reason you posted this example is because it is the exception that proves the rule.

"Blue cities are radical hellscapes that can't fix crime." Counterpoint: Baltimore. Baltimore had 334 murders in 2022. Last year it had 133, the lowest since 1977. The turning point was that voters defenestrated a Soros-backed prosecutor Marilyn Mosby who averaged 333 homicides a year across eight years and declined to use mandatory minimum sentences. (She was later convicted of mortgage fraud, so there's that too.) Her replacement, Ivan Bates, ran on the Democratic ticket with a simple message: repeat violent offenders belong in prison. Maryland law already allowed five years with no parole for convicted felons caught carrying a gun, but Mosby never used it. Bates used it a lot. In just two years, his office sent more than 2K repeat violent offenders to prison, double his predecessor's TOTAL. The city paired that with a precision intervention program that identified the small number of people driving most of the violence, which led to 631 arrests (94% haven't reoffended). Police also seized 2,480 firearms last year alone, including hundreds of ghost guns, while maintaining a 64% homicide clearance rate. When shooters know they'll get caught and actually prosecuted, behavior changes. Sandtown-Winchester, once the most violent neighborhoods in the city, just went a year without a killing! Carjackings (-51%) and robberies (-24%) are also down. Baltimore didn't change demographics, or its culture, its rules, or much of anything else in those years. It simply voted in a new Democratic prosecutor, who decided the city needed to finally put violent criminals in prison.

@zillowgonewild @CommunityNotes This is not the most significant private real estate ever built in the US and Florida. By pure price it is outclassed by several in Florida alone. Amenities are debatable but many of its amenities are low cost. orlandoweekly.com/news/florida-n… pearlantonacci.com/blog/mark-zuck…

🚨🚨🚨$115,000,000!! For only $115 million you can get the most “significant private estate ever built in the US and Florida”. This 87 (!!) acre lakefront home on Lake Thonotosassa has helicopter and seaplane arrival options. The French Normandy home, has a 36 acre stone-wall with 51 acres of greenbelt reserve. The mansion has almost 43k sq ft of space and basically every amenity you could imagine including a 24 car auto museum, bowling alley, billiards, theater, wellness center, indoor saltwater pool, outdoor 72’ pool, go-kart cirtcuit, boathouse, 1 mile jogging path, horse stuff and more. Who wants to split it with me?? Ps It’s also the most expensive listing ever in Tampa.

@BillieCotter @Mappy6984 At that point he's just looking out for her. Now couples should always approach marriage with "we" instead of "I" or "yours" and "mine". However, just because you haven't had to navigate extreme wealth doesn't mean your situation is the only one.

@BillieCotter @Mappy6984 Just like people here that are totally ignorant are popping off about your life; in the same way you are making an all inclusive statement out of ignorance. There are a number of good reasons a good man should consider a prenup. For example he's rich and her family is crazy.

At 27 you know what you're signing. Enjoy the ride

@buttonslives @SwipeWright Life doesn't slow down. It only speeds up. If you don't start making the time now, the odds are you won't later. It's possible but like any positive changes, work life balance and relationships are easier the sooner you start.

In recent years, I’ve found myself wondering how things might have turned out differently if I’d grown up religious and in a tight-knit family. I’m sort of envious of people who had that kind of upbringing. @SwipeWright and I are nonbelievers, and we’re also not very connected to a community right now, even though we moved from California to Nashville four years ago. We’re both workaholics. My childhood was very solitary, and I want my own child to have stronger social connections. So when we have a family, we’re going to have to make some real changes.

I was one of 300,000 people who solved the WHCA shooting in 40 minutes. None of us were right. But we were fast, and that night, fast felt like the same thing. I need to tell you about a tweet. Not because it matters. Because I thought it did. Because for 3 hours on the night of April 25, 2026, I was certain it was the most important thing on the internet, and I need to tell you what that certainty felt like before I explain why I was wrong. December 21, 2023. An account called Henry Martinez. @HenryMa79561893. Pepe the Frog avatar. Glitched rainbow banner, the kind of pixel corruption art that looks generated, or found, or planted. Zero following. No bio. No replies. No likes. No history. Created that month and immediately abandoned. 1 post. 2 words. No context. No hashtag. No thread. Cole Allen. Just a name dropped into the algorithm like a coin into a well. Then silence. 2.5 years of silence. I found it at 11:47 PM. I know the exact time because I screenshotted the screenshot. 21 million views by then. 27,000 likes. 12,000 bookmarks. 2,000 replies and climbing. The account had 2,100 followers it never asked for. The only people who follow it found it after the shooting. One post. 0 engagement for 868 days. Then a man with that name charges a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, and the dead account becomes the most analyzed two words on the internet. I screenshotted it. I saved it to a folder. I sent it to my group chat with no caption, just the image, because no caption was needed. Everyone already had it. Everyone was already doing what I was doing. Research. That's what I called it. Here is what I built in 40 minutes. Cole Tomas Allen. 31. Torrance, California. CalTech, class of 2017. Mechanical engineering. Cal State Dominguez Hills, master's in computer science, 2025. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory summer fellow, 2014. C2 Education tutor. Teacher of the month, 2024. I typed faster than I've ever typed at work. Indie game developer. Published a game on Steam called Bohrdom. Non-violent. Skill-based. Inspired by chemistry models. Self-propelled pinballs, bullet hell without the bullets. He trademarked the name. He was working on another game: a top-down shooter set in outer space. A person who designed fictional violence for a living and removed the violence. I didn't stop to think about that. I was looking for the next connection. CalTech Nerf Club. Christian Fellowship. Registered to vote with no party preference. 1 political donation on record: $25 to Kamala Harris via ActBlue. October 2024. $25. The price of lunch. And then I found it. The JPL 2014 summer fellowship program lists a co-author on a published research paper: Henry Martinez. Cole Allen was a 2014 JPL Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow. Both names. Same program. Same year. I had 3 tabs open. I was cross-referencing a dormant Pepe account with a 10-year-old academic paper. I told my group chat I'd found something. I hadn't found anything. I'd followed the same trail 300,000 other people were following at the same speed, and the speed felt like intelligence. 40 minutes. That's how long it took. Before the Secret Service finished their incident report. Before the Acting AG drafted a statement. Before a single journalist filed a story. 300,000 people had already built the board, pinned the photos, drawn the string. I was one of them. I was fast. I was thorough. I was wrong about what those words meant. Then somebody ran the Pepe avatar through a face comparison. The frog holding a glass of whiskey in a bow tie. Next to a photo from inside the ballroom. A man at Trump's table holding a glass. Same angle. Same tilt. Arrows drawn between them. "LOOK AT THE GLASS. LOOK AT THE TIE." Shared 40,000 times before anyone asked what it proved. I shared it. I didn't ask either. Then somebody found the banner image on the Henry Martinez account. Glitched pixel art. Rainbow static. And somebody else found an EU research project from May 2022, "Study on Quality in 3D Digitisation of Tangible Cultural Heritage," that used the exact same visual aesthetic in its branding. "TIME MACHINE" was the project name. Time Machine. A tweet from 2023. A project called Time Machine. A man from the future. I could feel the board filling in. Every piece clicking against the next like magnets. My brain building the room before I'd checked whether the foundation was real. That feeling, the one where the pattern assembles itself faster than your skepticism can keep up? That's not research. That's gravity. And I was falling. Here is what the people with followers did while the rest of us were building their evidence for free. Karoline Leavitt, hours before the dinner, in a recorded interview: "There will be some shots fired tonight." She was talking about jokes. She says. The clip was timestamped, captioned, and circulating to 6 million people within 90 seconds of the first gunshot. 90 seconds. That's not reaction time. That's preparation. Fox News, mid-broadcast. Their White House correspondent's phone cuts out after her husband tells her "you need to be very safe." She later explains that the Washington Hilton has notoriously bad cell service. The internet doesn't believe in bad cell service. Not when it has a better story. I didn't believe in bad cell service either. Not that night. Then the word. Both sides. Simultaneously. The fastest bipartisan agreement in American history: STAGED. The left said staged to distract from the Iran war and the cratering approval ratings. The right said staged because a Harris donor did it. Both sides said it within the same minute. Both were certain. Neither had evidence. Neither needed any. I recognized this. I'd seen it before. Butler, Pennsylvania. The same pattern. The same speed. The same certainty arriving before the facts. I recognized it and I kept scrolling. Alex Jones called it staged at 9:14 PM. By 11:30 PM he said it wasn't. By midnight he was "investigating." By morning he was selling supplements about it. 3 positions in 6 hours. Every one of them monetized. I know his timestamps because I was tracking them. I called that research too. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted "many questions about Cole Allen" at 12:47 AM like she was peer-reviewing a doctoral thesis she'd never read. I liked the tweet. Then I unliked it. Then I screenshotted it. Brooklyn Dad, 1.3 million followers, asked "Staged or not staged?" like he was running a poll on pizza toppings. 800,000 impressions on that question. He didn't investigate anything. He didn't have to. He just asked the question and let 300,000 people do his research for free. People like me. That's content creation. That's what we call it now. A question with no intention of finding the answer. A prompt designed to generate engagement, not information. Brooklyn Dad didn't need to know if it was staged. He needed you to reply. Jack Posobiec. Libs of TikTok. Tom Fitton. All posted within minutes of each other. Not about the shooting. Not about the agent who took a round to the chest. Not about the 1,000 people who crawled under banquet tables in formal wear. About building a new White House ballroom. The president referenced the ballroom in his press conference that night. He posted about it on Truth Social the next morning. They don't need the conspiracy to be true. They need it to be first. They need the narrative shaped before you've finished processing the sound of the gunshot. By the time you look up from under the table, the story is already written, the merch is already printing, and the thread is already pinned. That is the machine. It doesn't run on truth. It runs on speed. And the people who operate it have more followers than the Secret Service has agents. I fed it for 3 hours. I called it staying informed. I need to tell you about a train. Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. 3,000 miles. Roughly 50 hours, if you take the southern route through Texas and up the coast. Maybe longer. Cole Tomas Allen boarded that train with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. He sat in a seat. Or a sleeper car. We don't know yet. And he watched the country pass outside the window for 2 days. The Mojave. The Rio Grande. The Appalachian foothills. The Potomac. What does a person think about for 50 hours when they have decided to charge a federal checkpoint? Does he sleep? Does he eat in the dining car? Does he look at his phone? Does he read the news about the dinner he's traveling toward? Does he think about the game he published, the one where he deliberately removed the guns? Does he think about his students? Does he think about the fellowship, the summer at JPL, the paper with the name that would end up on a dead Pepe account 2.5 years before he ended up on the ground in a hotel lobby? I don't know. Nobody knows. Nobody is asking. I wasn't asking. I was looking at a Pepe avatar through a face-matching overlay at 2 AM and calling it evidence. 40 minutes to build the board. 3 hours to fill it. 0 seconds on the train ride. The internet found the tweet in 40 minutes. The NASA paper in 45. The ActBlue receipt in 3. The Fox News clip in 90 seconds. The face-match Pepe theory in 20. The Time Machine banner connection in 30. Nobody found the train ride. Because the train ride doesn't have engagement value. It doesn't confirm anything. It doesn't fit a board. It doesn't go viral. It doesn't have a ratio. It's just a man, a window, and a decision that nobody can explain by cross-referencing a tweet with a 10-year-old PDF. Not me. Not the researchers. Not the influencers. Not the politicians. Not the algorithm. The tweet has 21 million views. The train ride has none. And the Secret Service agent who caught a shotgun round in his vest went home to his family that night. He is not trending. He is not a thread. He has no Pepe avatar. No one is drawing arrows to his face. He is alive because Kevlar works, and that is the least interesting thing that happened on April 25, 2026, according to every platform that covered it. According to me. I covered it too. I just didn't know that's what I was doing. I deleted the board. I kept the screenshot. I don't know what the tweet means. But I know what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean what the people with the biggest megaphones need it to mean. It doesn't mean what the algorithms want to amplify. It doesn't mean what I decided it meant at 11:47 PM, when I was still falling, still reaching for the pattern because the pattern felt safer than the silence. The glass in the Pepe's hand is not the glass on the table. The banner is just pixel art. The tweet is still there. Sometimes a name is just a name. And sometimes a man gets on a train, and the only conspiracy is that we'll never understand why, and we'll build 1,000 theories to avoid sitting with that. 40 minutes to build the board. 50 hours on that train. I spent my time on the wrong one. I know because I'm still thinking about it. Not the train. The board. That's the part I can't stop replaying. Not the silence. The speed. That's the conspiracy. Not the tweet. Not the Pepe. Not the Time Machine. The conspiracy is that speed felt like intelligence. And I fell for it. And I'll fall for it again.

@AlexCryptoDubai @The_Only_Barbie Naw, he's just coping hard cause he wants to sleep around and doesn't want to actually practice what he preaches.

@The_Only_Barbie He didn't take an L, he was trying to explain how the current day value of relationships does not align with the past and how it should be.

The young man is absolutely right, Myton took an L here. & notice how men with values who respect women are never ugleee

@tmsilverman 60k is fine if a 50 acre farm costs 200k and you are raising much of your own food and maybe heat with a wood stove. The areas with cheap land often have lower incomes. Those that use the term "trad wife" are just larping. I don't care what they make. They aren't serious.

@tmsilverman You think the issue is what someone makes? 🤣 The real issue is that they want a "trad wife". People who actually want a traditional lifestyle and marriage don't use "trad wife". Traditional, style families often go to low cost of living areas with low incomes and cheap land.

When men who make 60K say they want a “trad wife” what they mean is they want a woman to act like their mommy, pay the bills, wipe their butt, and make their dino nuggets.

@Real_Ames I see two small men who lack integrity and self control.

🚨 Courtroom comedy hour just dropped… and nobody told the defendant it wasn’t open mic night 🤦‍♂️ Judge: “You always want to talk.” Defendant: “Can I say something?” SIR… that’s literally the problem 😭 Man turned a 10-minute hearing into a 90+ day sentence like it was a talent show 💀 Moral of the story: sometimes the best thing you can say… is absolutely nothing.

@SB_Cincy88 @aaronjayjack So cops are weathermen now? They are totally unqualified to make such decisions. Let the storm chasers do their job as long as they aren't blocking traffic and keep the roads open so people can get out.

@aaronjayjack Cop just making sure you dont die. Cause if he let's you go and you die he has to live with that for the rest of his life thinking. I had a chance to stop him and I didn't.

Here it is! Just a couple of cars chatting in the middle of the road, so I went around them and the Sheriff shoots his car in front of me to stop me. Then as I drove away I watched him pull his phone out and start shooting the tornado! LOL

@FenixAmmunition @Police_Clips And two levels above crooked and power hungry cops.

@Police_Clips Lol bikers are the most self righteous group of people with absolutely zero credibility at all. One level above cyclists.

Reason why most people Run 💯

@whytedood @jakerattlesnk Andrew Wilson is a joke and an intellectual child, particularly next to Peterson.

@jakerattlesnk Andrew Wilson has rendered him obsolete. Among many others. He's done and he's pretending to be sick in order to duck out.

We should not forget the impact that Jordan Peterson had in arming us with arguments against progressives. Nobody mainstream was able to do it like him.

@DarbyTheDog11 @DaveRamsey @H_Hartwe1l He's talking about people like you. I've basically followed his stuff in this economy and it's working pretty well. No debt except my house and paying that off aggressively. We have a small emergency fund and the ability to sleep well and take a few vacations. What's antiquated?

@DaveRamsey @H_Hartwe1l Your ideas are antiquated and no longer applicable in this economy. Please retire and stop lecturing us with things that worked in the 80s and 90s. We are in a whole new world!

Most people will not save money when they get that raise. Most people will not save money when their car is paid off. Most people will not save money when their kids are grown. People choose to save money only when it becomes and emotional priority. Your financial goals are not out of reach. They are on the other side of a decision. If your future is important enough to you, you can make it happen by sacrificing what you want now for what you want MOST later. When you decide to make your goals a priority, you will stop waiting on the future and you will start building it. Follow the 7 Baby Steps and you'll get there.

@mattvanswol I know people that have volunteered with Mercy Ships and would recommend them. mercyships.org/our-mission/

I hate to say it… But I’m struggling to be generous after all the fraud we’ve seen. There’s so few charities I trust now. I do a deep dive on a homeless charity… oh look, my tax dollars are funding that and it’s run by a Trump-hating Leftist. A Christian charity? Oh look, they’re helping illegal aliens. An education nonprofit? Oh look, it’s getting money from Left-wing political groups to send in Democrat activists to give lectures on LGBTQ oppression. Even my TAX DOLLARS I know are being used to fund some BS non-profit that probably has me on a list somewhere as an extremist and is actively trying to cancel me. It’s hard to be generous when I’m already being generously stolen from in taxes and when even the nonprofits aren’t actually solving the problems they reportedly exist to solve.

@SpaceKoala @chiguirii Earned the follow

@chiguirii Literally check my pinned post

The Octopus eye is trash compared to the human eye, and I'm tired of people treating the nerve arrangement like it's some brilliant innovation over ours. Time for another biology rant

@74Common @TurkeyBeaver If you'd actually spent any time trying to help the homeless you would realize that for many it is a choice. For those that are homeless due to financial hardship it's often tied to addiction, mental health or both. There is no fix for any price under the current laws.

@TurkeyBeaver Cost of each landing × 600 Could have probably solved homelessness in the US alone!! Instead of spending billions on delusions!! Why not fix the problems we face here on earth Rocket Man!!

600 landings!!! That’s 496 landings on our droneships and 104 on our landing zones. Congrats team on making the impossible, possible!
