Blue Checkmark: I don't care about follows. I'm paying a free speech tax to support Twitter's goal of reducing censorship. Thank you, Elon Musk!

@xevekiah Life is risky. 😬 Life is harder when you have nothing. But... Life can also be easier if you have nothing.

I’m engaged, and my fiancé recently found out I own a small apartment that my parents helped me buy years ago. It’s in my name, fully paid off. I’ve always seen it as my safety net. Now he’s asking me to sell it after we get married so we can “invest together” and put everything into a house under both our names. He says keeping it means I’m planning for a future without him. But I don’t see it that way. I see it as something I built before him, something that protects me no matter what happens. And now I feel guilty for wanting to keep it.

Can anyone tell me what a “fair” tax on the “rich” is? I still can’t get a straight answer. Is it 30%? Is it 50%? Is it 90%? And what would be considered “rich”?

Every major university has public scientists researching cancers. And it's also being studied by thousands and thousands of public researchers at universities - internationally. If this is a conspiracy, it's the most well kept secret in human history with many thousands of people knowing the truth and not saying it.

Camus@newstart_2024·
Megyn Kelly said what a lot of people have been quietly thinking for years. She looked at the decades-long “war on cancer” with so little real progress and asked the uncomfortable question: Is the lack of a cure partly because cancer is simply too profitable for Big Pharma to actually solve? Her take: the incentives for bureaucrats and the industry seem aligned to keep treatments flowing indefinitely rather than delivering cures. It’s a cynical view, but one that resonates when you look at the money involved and the slow pace of breakthroughs despite massive funding.

@teachthemx3 Bring back school discipline on students. The current system isn't fair for teachers, nor for students who are behaved.

I calculated what I’d be giving up if I leave public school: roughly $830,000 over my lifetime, assuming I retire at 65 and live to 80. This is why so many teachers stay once they’ve put in 10 years. The financial handcuffs are real. But money doesn't buy happiness, so I'm choosing to exit the insanity. About 35 more school days left until my next adventure begins.

@iToxicity2k @daniellalasagna I'm not against anyone eating or drinking anything. Just pay for it. 🤷 And... I'll stop being concerned when I stop having to pay into a health system that spends a lot of money treating obese people with medical conditions that would be avoided -- if they weren't obese.

@Brian_is_smart @daniellalasagna Maybe you should stop being concerned about other people's diets. I'd hate to see something that's currently complimentary to start being charged because people can't control themselves. We already get upcharged, sodas already watered down.

@iToxicity2k @daniellalasagna Nobody ruined anything. Just order a second soda. 🤷 It's no different than ordering a second meal. Or a second appetizer. Or a second dessert. Nobody is entitled to free seconds. A free glass of water should be the exception. Take all the refills you want. You win. 👍

@Brian_is_smart @daniellalasagna why ruin it for everyone because of people who can't control themselves. I eat responsibly, fast all week and spoil myself on my off days. I would love free refills and glad I am able to at the restaurants I go.

I was just brutally assaulted by multiple people outside of the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis. Multiple people swung on me and a grown man pushed me to the ground. My glasses are broken. ANTIFA still alive and well. I’m talking with police about pressing charges.

Things more dangerous than $8 coffees: - $40,000 wedding ($5,000/hr party) - $80,000 degree that gets you a $50,000/yr job - $40,000 car loan because you "earned it" - $2,000/mo apartments to flex for friends ...Thats why 80% of people are broke.

@teddybear7222 @AlphaNews Relocating isn't easy once you've set up a career, friend network, family living nearby, etc. If you look at the stats, people are leaving blue states for Red states all over the country. But the ties I listed above make leaving difficult.

‘More than my car payment’: Minnesota drivers shocked by soaring tab fees A 25-year veteran of vehicle sales in central Minnesota says customers are now calling in disbelief after opening renewal notices for their tabs — in some cases finding fees that rival or even exceed their monthly car payments.

@SalSports If people see you holding a bag with dog poop... They know you are responsible, and not a prick who leaves their dog's poop on the ground. That's a reason to keep the bag during your walk... and throw it out when you get home.

What’s the rule on walking by someone else’s garbage can they already put out while carrying a bag of your dog’s poop? Are you allowed to toss the bag in or no? Does it matter if the can is still full or already empty?! 🐕 💩 🚮

@CoachDanGo I'm 45 years old... not a young pup anymore. As a part of my workout today, I did 12 sets of 50+ pushups. Over 600 total. This is normal for me. I'm hardly Mr. Muscle. People need to get off their a$$ and workout a few times per week. If I can do this, others can too. 🤷

Being able to do 50+ push-ups in a row is a bigger status symbol than driving an expensive car.

@Amwysoc I had the same demons today. I got up later than usual... Because I had decided not to work out. Then I anticipated feeling guilty the rest of the day for being a lazy bum... So I did work out. It can be a psychological struggle on many days!

A blue check mark on X can be obtained for $8 per month. I don't care what I get from X as much as I care about supporting a great company that benefits all who participate. Is $8 too much for that? I'm just curious why everyone who interacts does not pay $8? (*Preparing myself for the backlash.*)

@NateSilver538 I don't see the problem. It's a marketplace of ideas... People choose what to engage with. Unless the argument is censorship of left leaning accounts, or a biased algorithm against the political left. Bias and censorship existed -- before Elon Musk took over.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
