Youngest GenXer

What's happening?

i absolutely hate today being remembered as the “star wars day” instead of the anniversary of the kent state shooting. four innocent students massacred with no accountability, no justice was ever served. the more you learn about it the worse it gets.

Disgusting

@chasedownleads low key, Bill Gate did this early in his career

Dave Ramsey gives his best financial advice to young people: “Just give up now. You’ll never afford a home. Your best bet is heading into the forest, constructing a sturdy shelter, and foraging for berries and small rodents to eat.” Wow.

Riley Gaines and Libs of TikTok are complaining about medical bills. David French says adopting a Black child opened his eyes to systemic racism. Laid-off TPUSA employees say workers need stronger protections. Conservatism is the rejection of empathy for others. Once an issue affects them personally, they adopt the progressive position.

@DropSiteNews good.

Professor Derek R. Peterson, a University of Michigan historian and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, thanked “pro-Palestinian student activists” during a graduation speech today, for “opening our hearts to the injustices and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.” Peterson teaches history and African studies at the University of Michigan, where he also became chair of the faculty senate in 2025.

@Underwood_szn plus people (typically idiots) say the Bama defender barely touched JJ, but a full replay shows the guy landed on him with his full weight as JJ fell backward.

Do you guys remember when JJ McCarthy did this? My heart dropped for a minute in the moment. If JJ does not make that play it's a live ball going the other way. Big time players make big time plays in big time moments. Greatest QB ever at Michigan

@STLweber @ClueHeywood LOL, but after midnight it mellows out? (I've never been to N.O.)

@ClueHeywood That is a rough and tumble hike. Ms Mae’s before midnight is aggressive

Today’s plan is to hike New Orleans’s famous “Shia LeBeouf Trail,” which is all the dive bars with confirmed Shia sightings during Mardi Gras as he made his way east to his ultimate arrest at R Bar

@RBuckeyeOSUFan looks like the shoe is menstruating

Illustration of concept: Red Turf at Ohio Stadium

@oldfriend99 and he never bitches about it on camera

I like that the cryptkeeper does his cryptkeeping mostly off-camera. Crypt maintenance is dull and tedious

@itsAntWright and the entire infield is filled with drunk rednecks

Look at the Louisville baseball field and football stadium compared to Churchill Downs.. unreal

@yesterdaysprint 1894 Coffeyville Man Transported to 2026: "what do you mean the city doesn't have it's own newspaper anymore?"

The Coffeyville Weekly Journal, Kansas, May 11, 1894

@TheWapplehouse haha you're on facebook

Got a friend suggestion on Facebook. It’s actually her. Got mutual local friends.

@OneWordPowerful whoa whoa whoa, now hang on a sec

Boomers are a red herring at this point. I’m all in on any candidate who vows to put Gen Xers in a blender.

@DylanBaddour Doing their part to conserve a few gallons per day, while the Exxon plant no one is allowed to mention goes through 300,000 gallons/minute

Excuse me, what? "Local leaders are rolling out aggressive measures to cut usage, from inmates washing patrol vehicles with reclaimed water to City Hall considering a four-day work week" kiiitv.com/article/news/l…

@Metaleka_ excellent

The pilots of that plane.

Conan O'Brien shoots guns and drinks whiskey with Hunter S. Thompson, 1997

@SeanMcCarthyCom that would be extra funny if it turned out the treatment Aetna turned down for her was hormone therapy

Extremely funny country where people get paid to shill against Medicare for All then end up paying it all back in medical bills anyway

@JessPected @effthealgorithm 😢

@FontaneJames @effthealgorithm Reading a book does not end all these problems. I'm sorry life is more complicated & difficult than your smug platitudes.

@cmkrnl @effthealgorithm okay, everybody start by cancelling all your streaming services NOW. Tomorrow, get to your list of unread books, or head to the library. done

@FontaneJames @effthealgorithm Go ahead and get us organized, please!

@TomFornelli this is awesome
