@ianmiles NY County is Manhattan. York County is in PA. Get your story straight.

A teenage girl in NY County was shot dead in her home after an apparent home intruder fired a shotgun at the front door. Paramedics could not save her. You shouldn’t have to live like this.

@Supersonic_Red @MikeyDiMercurio Nov 1959. Jones. I was Director of Technology. Brought tech into schools. Taught the Boomer Superintendent how to use a mouse. Stayed alone in the house as a nine-year old while both parents worked.

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

@learning_yohei Latin.

僕は日本人なので、日本語が第一言語です。そして、多くの日本人は第二言語として、英語を学んでいます🇯🇵🥰 そこで、アメリカ人に質問があります。アメリカ人は第二言語として、どんな言語を学んでいますか？🇺🇸🤭

@katee_K1 @SaltyKgbAgent The sheer amount of stupid comments by people who have never fired a gun simply astound me. Before you say anything, go skeet shooting. Try hitting a moving target. Then we’ll talk.

Chaos at Grand Central 4-5-6: Machete maniac slaughters three elderly riders in broad daylight. Bodycam drops the horror—Anthony Griffin, 44, screaming “I am Lucifer,” hacks an 84-year-old man’s face open, splits a 65-year-old’s skull, and slashes a 70-year-old woman. Blood everywhere on the crowded platform. Cops roll up, scream 20+ times for him to drop the blade. He charges them instead. Bang—two shots, Griffin drops dead. While city officials brag “crime is down,” New Yorkers are getting chopped up by machete-wielding demons in the middle of morning rush hour. This is the reality they’re hiding.

@japan_nobunaga Love you guys there in Japan. We teach Japanese students online & we love them. We are big Toho fans here. Fly your flag & don’t give into these assholes.

My hands are shaking writing this. A small Japanese flag, the size of a paperback book, tied to the bumper of a city bus on a Japanese national holiday in 2026. And online, someone is calling it "discriminatory." A flag. A bus. A national holiday. In Japan. In Paris, the tricolor covers every boulevard on July 14. Nobody calls it discriminatory. In Texas, every porch flies the Stars and Stripes on July 4. Nobody calls it discriminatory. In London, the Union Jack drapes Buckingham Palace for the King. Nobody calls it discriminatory. Only here. Only our flag. Only on our own holidays, on our own buses, on our own quiet streets. I keep asking how we got here. I do not have an answer. That flag is not too loud. The shame trying to silence it is.

@SaysSimulation Hey babe. You gotta believe what the Church actually teaches to be a Pope. Prevost does not. He is not a Pope. Has never been a Pope. Go read Barnhardt.biz for more.

Look, I'm not a Catholic. I wish them the best, and how one reconciles "papal infallibility" with blatantly political secular Popes (the Borgias et al) is up to their religion. But, the dark horse Chicago Dem Pope Leo was elected specifically for the purpose of trying to 1/

@NannaOfDragons @PintSizedFarmer My dad had to bathe in a tub of tomato juice after encountering the dangerous end of a skunk.

@PintSizedFarmer Some people swear by tomato ketchup for horrific “rolled-in” smells. Pig slurry is *penetrating*. One of the farmers near the village I grew up in used to spread it as fertilizer every Autumn, and the entire place stank to high heaven for the whole of October.

In today’s highbrow farm news, Mavis the farm collie has rolled in pig slurry and is now operating as a mobile biohazard. The smell is so appalling it makes your eyes water. I took her out to air off. She rolled in sheep poo. We met a couple of walkers and heard a very posh “Oh, I say!” as Mavis thundered past. We went to look for wildlife. Everything downwind knew we were coming before we even stepped in the woods. Mavis then found some fox poo. She's had a full hosepipe bath and still smells like a health and safety violation. The dreaded Fairy Liquid may be the only way forward.

@RoofKorean7 My brother fought alongside ROK in Vietnam. He said they were absolutely rock hard tough. Thank you sir, for defending your turf.

May 1, 1992, Friday 7:30am - Day 3 I smell it through my window waking up. Smoke, haze with sunlight messes with the hues of the sky making it look apocalyptic at times No matter. We're expected so we ride, down my driveway, onto the street and into chaos. Not all of us are "Oriental one-penny countin' motherfuckers", and we are coming. See you soon.

@SecondSeason0 @Hokuto_Ide I have at least 100 Catholic prayer books, 99% of those are from before the 1962 Vatican II disaster. Would you like one? Send me a PM & when the weekend is over, I’ll send one to you. They’re in English or Latin.

私はプロテスタント教会では普通に行われている、自由祈祷が出来ない。 聖公会では小型の新約聖書より分厚い、祈祷書があり、それは不便だとのことで、中を抜粋した薄い冊子を使っている。カトリック教会でも現在は祈祷書を貸し出しているようだ。以前は「祈りの友」とかないと、周りの人は祈祷書なしで記憶しててミサやってた。 何も思いつかないんですが。 神さまもしくはキリストに一体何を拝んだらいいか、皆目検討がつかない。 せいぜいが主の祈りを唱えるか、うろ覚えの使徒信経を唱えるくらいか。 よく即興で長く話せるものである。それも聖霊の賜物なのか。練習してたら自然に出来るようなもんじゃない。

@macdee_ANC Welcome home, sir. My ancestors came on the Mayflower. One of my ancestors was a Mohawk. I say welcome. Keep us posted.

Today I touched down in Florida as a refugee — on South Africa’s Freedom Day of all days. A day meant to celebrate liberation became the day I finally stepped into my own. Leaving the country of my birth was not easy. It was painful, heartbreaking, and symbolic. I walked away from a place I loved deeply, but where daily life had become a struggle for safety, dignity, and opportunity. As the plane lifted off, I felt the weight of years of frustration, fear, and disappointment. I left behind a system that had stopped serving its people, a government that had forgotten the meaning of freedom, and a reality where hope was becoming harder to hold onto. And then I arrived here — in the United States — and for the first time in a long time, I felt possibility again. I felt welcome. I felt safe. I felt human. The kindness I’ve received, the respect, the sense of order and opportunity… it’s overwhelming in the best way. I am deeply grateful to the American people for opening their doors and giving me the chance to rebuild my life with dignity. Today, on a day that South Africa calls Freedom Day, I found my freedom in America. A new chapter begins — and I will honor it with hard work, gratitude, and hope. @RynoJvVuuren @POTUS

@pnwguerrilla Not all boomers, dude. I walk with a walker. I have neighbors who literally push me out of the way in the hallway of the apartment. Rudeness is not restricted to one generation.

So i am looking at DVDs. (Looking for prince of Egypt) and this boomer pushes his cart right infront of me with nothing but his cane in the cart, he then answers his phone and starts yelling at the phone “HELLO, HELLO, YEAH I AM TALKING TO YOU HELLO” The absolute and complete disregard that boomers have for everyone around them is honestly just astonishing.

@DrAlmarielao Not too much.

She stood there, shaking, replaying what she had just seen; her son slamming the family’s pet cat in anger. The shock hadn’t worn off, and neither had the fear. So she made a decision in the heat of the moment: she handed him his PS5 and told him to slam it the same way… to feel what destruction looks like. He hesitated. The realization hit differently when it was something he cared about. The room went quiet, heavy with tension; not just punishment, but a message about consequences, empathy, and control. Still… it didn’t feel simple. It felt intense. Maybe even too far. Teaching a lesson matters; but how we teach it can leave a lasting impact too. Do you think this kind of punishment helps build empathy… or crosses a line?

@gamu0514 Thank you. I appreciate you. My husband teaches online to Japan. Your young people are simply amazing!

When I learned about the existence of "Shy Trump Supporters" during the 2020 U.S. presidential election, I couldn't understand why someone would have to hide the fact that they supported their own country's president. But now, I understand it perfectly…… The American left is incomparably more vicious and aggressive than the Japanese left.😑

@UpdatingOnRome ROMA DELENDA EST!!

@DeweyWoodz Wtf

@UpdatingOnRome Ave!

Over the last 72 hours, my account has been hit with over 100,000 anti-Roman attacks by Carthaginians trying to throttle my pro-Rome posts and suppress Daily Roman Updates. Every time I post about the glory of the Eternal City or the victories of our legions, hordes of Hannibal-loving Phoenician sympathizers mass-report and shadowban me. This is blatant Punic tyranny. If you’re still loyal to SPQR and the Senate & People of Rome, drop a single ave! below so I know the algorithm hasn’t completely sacrificed me to Moloch.

@Insanevidz_ I was sitting at a bar with my husband many years ago. I guy came up and grabbed my ass. I told my husband, but told him not to make a scene. Then the guy grabbed my husband’s ass. He decked the guy who was subsequently 86’ed.

A drunk guy grabbed a guys wife ass in front of him... Is this the only way to respond?

@FLOTUS @donderover The FCC should repeal ABC’s broadcast license.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

@WallStreetApes There’s a teaching shortage!

This is how bad the job market is “I just got denied a job from Target. I have a f*cking bachelor's degree. I spent 4 years on a bachelor's degree, and — I can't get a cashier's job. I cannot get a minimum wage job” This is not uncommon. On average in 2026, Americans must apply for over 100 jobs before being hired In tough fields that number climbs to 100-200+ on average She says she was interested in getting a Masters but if she cent even get a cashiers job with a bachelors degree, what’s the point

@u_ringingbells @26ers_bp115 Get out of NYC. Get out now.

TBF. In America, costcos are infamously known for rude, selfish people, pushing their carts into one another; cutting people off; squeezing by rudely; grabbing at things. Not moving out of the way for others or moving in the way of others without caring. Costco is not like regular shopping centers in the USA.

NYクイーンズのコストコで、普通に買い物してるヒスパニック夫婦のカートを無理やり奪おうとして暴れ出す黒人。 並んで待つ、譲る、ルール守る、そんな当たり前の常識が全くない。 自分が欲しければ奪う、やりたけりゃ犯す、欲のままに暴れ散らかす。 こういう生き物と共生したくない。
