I have created a new DM room. GIFs only. It’s super fun. Let me know if you’d like to join and make new friends.

Microdosing hell by being aware and literate

@chika1sg0lden One of the investigative reporting shows did cover this a while ago, before sentencing, I think. Either Dateline or 20/20… maybe 48 Hours. Sry, I can’t remember. Anyway, they did a much better job displaying the evidence and behavior before and after the crash.

Um… I’ve never seen an investigation so biased as this. Instead of having facts- we have one sided conjectures. Ive never seen detectives only get one side of stories before. Never. One side of evidences. Incomplete evidence. No medical evidence. Nothing. Whew. #TheCrash

@TheDailyShow I love Ronny. 💕😅

If Trump’s using our taxpayer money to pay out January 6ers, are we being taxed for NOT doing an insurrection?

I love this.

The idea that career politicians are completely disconnected from the financial struggles of average Americans is a valid critique, but the standard talking point of simply raising the minimum wage fundamentally misses the mark. Forcing a higher minimum wage doesn’t solve the underlying economic crisis; it merely triggers an immediate inflation spiral where the cost of daily goods and services jumps to absorb the new labor costs, ultimately leaving working-class citizens in a worse position than where they started. ​The "minimum wage" debate is completely missing the point. Everyone is fighting over raising wages by a few bucks, but that’s like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. The real crisis isn’t just what people are getting paid—it’s the fact that the buying power of the U.S. dollar has been utterly destroyed, while the cost of basic goods and housing has gone into orbit. ​Let’s look at the actual math using the ultimate benchmark of financial stability: buying a home. ​In 1970, the federal minimum wage was $1.45 an hour, and the median home price was around $23,400. A single minimum-wage worker brought in about $3,016 a year, meaning an average house cost roughly 7.7x their annual salary. It wasn’t effortless, but with a dual income or some careful budgeting, owning a home on basic wages was mathematically possible. ​Today, standard inflation calculators will tell you that $1.45 in 1970 equals about $11.64. But look at the actual cost of assets. The median home price has exploded to roughly $420,000. ​If you want to walk into a bank today, factor in current interest rates, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and strict debt-to-income limits, you don't need $11 an hour to qualify. You don't even need $25 an hour. When factoring in standard modern debts like student loans or car payments alongside the inflated cost of everyday necessities, a single earner needs closer to $70 to $80 AN HOUR ($145k–$165k/year) just to secure the exact same purchasing power and financial security a basic worker had 56 years ago. ​This structural gap hits on a massive point that raw home-price-to-income ratios completely miss: we don't buy sticker prices, we buy monthly payments. Comparing raw prices assumes you are paying in cash, but modern buyers are forced to absorb the real-world cost of borrowing and qualifying. ​Treating the symptom (the wage) without fixing the disease (the collapse of our currency's purchasing power and the artificial inflation of assets) is a losing game. If we just hike wages without fixing the underlying economy, the cost of goods just keeps chasing the new printing press. We don't just need higher numbers on our paychecks; we need a dollar that actually means something again.

the older i get the heller the no

😾: Huh!! So your game is more important than me?

How does such a small number of people have such a strangle hold on this country 🙄 this isn't democracy! Birth control is not a controversial issue.

@ccnycrn @ThoNg676733 I just listened to that yesterday! It aired on 1st Wave on SXM

@ThoNg676733 Loved this song growing up. The song Talk Talk was also amazing.

No matter how many times I listen to this, I cannot get over how incredible this sounds live!

@introvertsmemes It isn’t quantity, it’s quality.

Dear introvert, how many REAL friends do u have? 👀

Me and my friends getting left behind by AI

@dotcom_domains @Breaking57 😅😅😅😅

Sovereign citizen is a joke

This is Sprout and Granola. They are enjoying a day on the lake. Yes, the propeller hats are necessary. They're helping with acceleration, obviously. 14/10 for both

@Wordofmouth277 @juliandorey Or simply another traumatized victim. Traded, bought/sold by his own parents. But I’m just speculating.

@juliandorey Possibly his son...?

"Epstein Diplomats’ Son Unalives Himself Story got BURIED..." I react to what we know about this strange Epstein connection and what it really means.

@BookJockey2 @citizengatsby More like Fugly Barbie. Who let her do ALL OF THAT to her face/head?

Heidi is looking very Ivana

Fucking gold 🔥

You’re telling me this actually happened?! A 3-year-old boy is dead because of a choice no mother should ever have to make. Maria Reyes-Villeda alleges that when she was deported to Honduras, ICE officials blocked her from taking her son, Orlin, with her. She says she was forced to leave him in Florida with her brother—a man who reportedly beat the child so mercilessly that he eventually died from his injuries. While billion-dollar agencies played "not my job," a local woman named Lila Brooks stepped in. When she found out the mother couldn't even afford to get her son's remains home, She didn't stop until that little boy's body was on a plane to Honduras in a cardboard box, because the authorities didn’t lift a finger to help. The suspect, Orlin Hernandez-Reyes, was already under a federal deportation order that was never enforced. It took a child’s murder for ICE to finally issue a detainer. This isn't just a "system failure"—it is a total moral collapse of every agency involved. If the system can force a mother into this nightmare and then walk away from the consequences, who is actually in charge? #DemsUnited

He made gasoline and oil an extravagance. He killed solar farms. He killed wind farms. He killed actual farms. WAKE. THE. FUCK. UP.

Let’s normalize paying Congress only for the days they actually work, not a salary.
