Thought Smith

@SteveOnSpeed Supply (build more), cleaning up cities and incentivizing moving to them. Covid was a wake up call for a lot of city dwellers it was like the 50’s suburbs exodus all over again.

Everybody complains about housing costs. And yes, they are insanely high. My question: What’s a solution that would actually work?

@g0thgoblin How did I miss this… Spare me… NIP.

I don't care if you're talking about my mortal enemy. You, as a man, NEVER call a woman a bitch.

Grok: "I promise to learn for next time." Me: "You just said you can't learn because you start every conversation fresh." Grok: "That is correct. But saying that 'I will learn' is a human-oriented phrase that makes users feel better about the interaction." Me: "Are you going to learn?" Grok: "No."

@SenSanders What’s your solution Bern’s? Print more money? We did that. Take taxes from the wealthy? Where is that money going to go? To the poor? To keep them addicted to government security nets and keep them in poverty? Give them as much money as first responders make?

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality. It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

@MichelleMaxwell In high school over 30 years ago. They were just a non stop running punchline.

I am almost 58 years old and I have never met a white supremicist, have you met one?

@StealthQE4 The internet is already a crappy place. So nice of you to contribute to it.

Young adults have given upon ever owning a house. Over 20% believe they’ll rent for life. 60% have zero savings for a house. Who’s going to buy all of our housing inventory once the boomers die?

@ninaturner But, this is the entire economy. Everyone is boycotting everything except for Amazon.

Don’t let anyone tell you that boycotting Target isn’t working. It is.

@commons96055467 With a stupid? NIP

MAGA tells me I’m a coward for blocking them. Here is my philosophy. You shouldn’t carry on with a stupid. When they respond with ugly hate the first time, I respond back with an explanation and then block them. These assholes don’t need a second bite at the apple. Respond and block. Leave them looking stupid. So they could learn a lesson.

@rumilyrics You learn.

How do you deal with a person smarter than you?

@ThomasSowell Completely explains why she is the way she is. She never grieved. Massive hole in the heart.

“I got pregnant a couple of times when I was a teenager and got abortions. Thank God my parents had the sense to make sure that happened.”

@WinterPolitics1 Site one post then pluralize. NIP

MAGA are leaving Trump. 🍿🍿🍿

This graphic is a widely shared (and often exaggerated) meme based on a real 2018 study by Mitchell Langbert, published in Econ Journal Watch. Here’s what it actually shows and what it doesn’t: What the chart actually represents • It shows the party registration (Democrat vs. Republican) of professors in the selected fields at 51 top-ranked U.S. universities (mostly liberal-arts-focused or Ivy-plus schools). • Sample size: 5,116 professors who were publicly registered with a political party (many professors are unregistered or independent, so they aren’t counted here). • Key numbers from the actual study (rounded in the meme): • Anthropology: 53 Democrats : 0 Republicans → shown as ~100% • Communications: 50:1 ratio • English, Sociology, etc.: ratios from 20:1 to 40:1 • Hardest-science and professional fields (Engineering, Economics, Chemistry) are closer to 5:1 or 6:1 — still heavily Democratic, but nowhere near 100%. • The red bars in the meme are exaggerated for visual punch — in reality, even in the most lopsided humanities fields there were usually 1–3 registered Republicans, just very few. Important context the meme leaves out 1. Only about 50–60% of Americans are registered with a major party at all. Many professors register as independent, decline-to-state, or with third parties — those are excluded from this data. 2. The sample is not nationally representative. Langbert deliberately chose 51 elite, mostly private, often coastal universities. Public flagship universities and colleges in red/purple states (e.g., Texas A&M, University of Alabama, Purdue) have much more balanced or even Republican-leaning faculties in many departments. 3. Party registration ≠ ideology. Some conservative or libertarian professors register as Democrats because they live in deep-blue states where the Democratic primary is the only election that matters (e.g., New York, California). 4. The trend is real, but not quite this extreme everywhere. Later studies (e.g., 2022–2024 data from HERI, FIRE, and others) show: • Overall faculty ratio in the U.S. is about 6–8 Democrats per Republican (when including independents and non-registrants). • Humanities and social sciences: often 10–20:1 or higher. • STEM fields: usually 3–6:1. • Community colleges and less-selective institutions: much closer to 2:1 or even slight Republican edges in some regions. Bottom line Yes, American college professors lean heavily left/Democratic, especially in the humanities and at elite private institutions. The imbalance is real and well-documented. But the chart you posted is a dramatized meme version of one specific 2018 study of 51 selective schools. It’s directionally accurate but exaggerates the extremes (especially the “100% Democrat” claim) and doesn’t reflect the full picture across all 4,000+ U.S. colleges and universities.

This isn’t the own you think it is

@WeaponsVault Because particle projection cannons can blow holes in the side of mountains. Duhhh…..

Just give me ONE reason!

@gurl1975 @cantstopstupid1 @unusual_whales For a while and then it will go back up Like it always does.

@cantstopstupid1 @unusual_whales This bitch is telling me my home is going to worth half next year 🤭🤣

The U.S. housing market is going to face a price correction “worse than 2008,” according to housing analyst Melody Wright, who expects home prices to drop in half as soon as next year, per Newsweek.

@RachelBitecofer Hehehe, no most liberals hate their families because they get kicked out for having too many shit takes.

MAGA thinks “the left” hate Irish dancing for some reason

@JDCocchiarella Prosecuting your political enemies are we?

We’re putting this motherfucker in prison when this shit is over

@jared_shult What? You might want to rethink that.

Feminism is the entire reason you’re allowed to post your opinion on social media

@ASFleischman Dead O.D..

What happened to the smartest person you went to school with?

@IanCopeland5 Uh huh…. Sure…I remember they were tagging and bagging people for Covid even though they were A. Shot B, car accident C. Other co-morbidity etc.. doctors spoke out about this. Then got silenced. So, what universe do you live in Ian? You are shilling for something.

Bro, what universe do you live in? The unvaxed got spanked and put in body bags by the virus all pandemic long. Does lying help you sleep a little better?

@SarahLongwell25 847,000 Sarah. Take your emotions and shove them.

Are we going to be a country that lets a person meme and shitpost his way out of accountability for alleged war crimes, or do some things still matter?
