@jtLOL Oh no, another Ozempic victim!

She was lovely the way she was, this is just wrong

I'll just say it: He looked better before the Ozempic

@PolitiBunny @GovernorVA I expect them to try. The Dems have never dared about anything but power and have shown they will ignore any and all laws that keep them from power.

Anything for power. Is @GovernorVA willing to stoop this low? She’d have to sign off on it. This would tell us if she cares about Virginia or just herself.

@MeganFoxWriter Did you soak them overnight in oxyclean? I find oxy really needs time to work, six hours minimum. Sometimes though if certain fertilizers/chemicals also have been used on the grass nothing works and I have to relegate the clothes to "stuff I strip furniture in."

Big Soap is lying to us. Grass and mud stains do NOT come clean. Period. It's a scam.

@DrewSav We watched you shoot Charlie Kirk.

Republicans do not understand how angry people are right now

@PolitiBunny @GovernorVA I can't believe it, I was expecting to lose. Shocked in a good way, for

Did you see? YOU LOST! :) Can't wait to see your response. xoxoxoxo @GovernorVA

@stephenasmith Where is immigration??

If the 2026 midterms were to take place tomorrow, what issue is top-of-mind for you heading to the polls?

@TeamCornyn To vote just like Talarico would, but with less woke jargon??

If I'm the nominee, Republicans hold Texas. If Paxton is the nominee, Democrats have a real shot. James Talarico is waiting for the chance to flip this seat. I'm not going to let that happen. But the only way to guarantee a Republican Senator from Texas is to send me back to Washington. A vote for Paxton is a vote to hand Texas Democrats their best shot in a generation. npr.org/2026/05/02/nx-…

@R3K0NT3K @chrispavlovski @Kevcalner This. If I need DIY help with home repairs or sewing I still have to go to YouTube.

@chrispavlovski @Kevcalner Let’s not forget though at still to this day. YouTube is the “GoTo” for “How to?” Content. That will be very hard to take away from YouTube. Yes. YouTube is creating its own downfall. Keep at the grind and it will happen.

YouTube grew on the backs of stolen content in 2005. Rumble grew by providing free speech. YouTube doesn't deserve to be at the top and doesn't deserve creators business. Its time to make the switch.

@AngelaTilby If God wanted me to be a priest, He would have made me a man. I presume God knows what He is doing, and what He wants from me.

I get the impression that some Catholics, especially recent converts, live in a fantasy world about women priests. In my experience our ministries and orders are widely recognised by Catholics, many of whom hope deeply for women priests and are not afraid to say so.

@ProjectVirginia They are using their black robes to polish up the silver platter they will use to give the Dems the ruling they want. The court punted this until after the election so they can say the voters have spoken.

We'll find out soon enough if laws matter in Virginia. If SCOVA loves the law more than it fears retaliation by Dems, we'll be good.

@physicsgeek @RBPundit Yep, that's why they ruled the way they did. Cowards absolutely do not want to get involved.

@RBPundit VA Supremes before the vote: We have to wait for the votes to rule. VA Supremes after the vote, probably: Well, the people have spoken and the question is now moot.

Like... the wording of the referendum in Virginia is so biased I have to think the results get thrown out eventually. The whole thing is so slimey.

@serpentza @whyyoutouzhele Now that you've pointed that out I can't unsee

@whyyoutouzhele Why do they worship Beethoven?

@PolitiBunny You want massive EXCEPT for Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax. We're in Alexandria and our neighbors are absolutely unhinged over Trump. Hope hubby and my two No votes help a little.

We need massive. Too big to rig.

The other unexpected consequence is the rise of pirating content. Instead of subscribing to Netflix and getting everything you wanted, now you had to subscribe to multiple services. Not affordable and a big pain. It drove a big chunk of folks back into pirating, just like Napster before Apple showed the music industry they could make money online. Would have been smarter to negotiate with Netflix for better deals to show your IP, but the window for that has probably closed.

⚡️There’s no secret. The thing they’re “not telling us” is actually completely visible. The entire media and entertainment industry overbuilt during the streaming wars and now the bill is due. Between 2019 and 2023 every major studio and platform spent like drunken sailors trying to win the streaming race. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime. Each one pouring billions into content trying to grab subscribers. They hired massively. They greenlit everything. They paid absurd prices for talent and IP. The logic was land grab first, profitability later. Later arrived. And it turns out most of these platforms can’t sustain the cost structures they built. The subscriber growth flattened. The advertising market softened. The content spend didn’t produce proportional returns. And now every single one of them is doing the same thing simultaneously. Cutting headcount. Canceling projects. Tightening budgets. Merging platforms. Because the math never worked and they all knew it and they all kept spending anyway because stopping first meant losing the race. The BBC is a slightly different case because it’s publicly funded but the dynamic is similar. Legacy media institutions built for a broadcast era carrying headcount that doesn’t match how people consume content now. 21,500 employees for a broadcaster in 2026 is a number from a different era. And now layer AI on top. Content production, editing, writing, marketing, visual effects. Every part of the pipeline that employed thousands of people is getting compressed by tools that do it faster and cheaper. The layoffs happening now are partly the streaming hangover and partly the early tremors of AI restructuring the entire production model. The conspiracy framing of “something they’re not telling us” makes it sound mysterious. It’s not mysterious at all. They built too much, hired too many, spent too freely, and now they’re contracting. Same thing that happens in every industry after a bubble. The only difference is that this contraction is happening at the same time that AI is permanently eliminating a chunk of the roles that would have come back in a normal recovery. These jobs aren’t coming back. That’s the part they’re not saying out loud. Not because it’s a secret. Because saying it would make the remaining employees panic and the stock price drop further.

@bankertobuilder It looks like a North Korean saf house from some cheesy Netflix espionage show

Small windows with shutters are too 1920s Dark green is too 1960s Tall shrubs are too 1980s We updated all the old, tacky features on this house and made it into a modern masterpiece How did we do?

@aelfred_D 🙏💔

It’s the anniversary of my dad’s suicide. It’s been many years but it’s still hard. Maybe you’ve been tempted. I know I have. But the mind is fucking with you when it says everyone will be happier, everyone will be relieved. It will destroy them. If you can’t hold on—hold on.

@BoSnerdley That's kind of a low bar.

I cannot wait for Paramount to take over this network. Hopefully whatever they come up with - will be an improvement over what is on now.

@physicsgeek After seeing what happened to Manchin and Sinema, no sane Dem Senator will vote to keep the filibuster. That was a horsehead in the bed moment.

This is a foolish comment because everyone with even one firing neurons knows that the Dems will abolish it on day one when they have full power again. Did you forget the only reason they failed under Biden was because of two Dem Senators who are no longer in the Senate?

Everyone with the slightest medical knowledge knows masks are to prevent blood and other, uh, secretions from getting onto the mucus membranes of health care providers, that is why surgeons mask. Masking to prevent getting a virus is like setting up a chain link fence to prevent mosquitoes. And then liquor stores and strip clubs were open but churches were closed at first and then limited attendance later. I also lost all respect for the US Bishops who should have refused to comply with this.

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

@ShamashAran @mauddweeb Yea that outfit is hot garbage, not just plain but doesn't quite fit him. Like he threw some stuff on he found at a thrift store.

@mauddweeb I have more of a problem with teh wardrobe than the look of teh actor. The wardrobe looks too plain and normal.

I actually think this is fine and it’s not a big deal
