Porking America

It’s called Porking America for a reason. This isn’t about parties. It’s about power, waste, and who really gets screwed. Follow if you’re tired of bending over for the budget. Thoughts are mine. Regret is optional.

@PorkingUS Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We will share this feedback directly with the appropriate team to investigate further.

@Labcorp this was the desk the whole time as I waited over an hour past my appointment time. Ridiculous! How do you stay in business?

@RepShriThanedar WTF? This is demonic.

My favorite kind of abortion is the kind that's safe, legal, accessible, and none of your damn business to regulate. And no amount of fearmongering by describing what goes on to a half-ounce fetus with no consciousness, self-awareness, or feeling of pain is going to change that.

@theblaze There is no way that she is this stupid… right???

Ilhan Omar gives a history lesson: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked it was used during World War ELEVEN.”

If humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, which industry would collapse first?

@aas_ker Pong

without telling me your age… what was the very FIRST video game you ever played????

If you went to school in the 70s, 80s, or 90's. How many kids did you know with gender dysphoria?

@robkhenderson This!

A situation that has happened to me more times than I care to admit. Arriving in a city for a speaking engagement after a 7 hour flight. Me “Checking in for Rob Henderson” Hotel staff “Okay just need an ID and credit card” Me “Sure. There should be a credit card on file there.” Hotel staff “Ah yes I see there is. But there’s no note here authorizing us to charge this card.” Me “You have the card there on file. Can we just use that one?” Hotel staff “Unfortunately we require a note confirming we can authorize the charge.” Me “I have the email of the person who represents the organization paying for the hotel, where they specify that the room should be covered. Can I show you this email?” Hotel staff “Sure! But we would still require them to complete and submit a credit card authorization form.” Me “You have the card there on file. Can you charge it? I know there’s no note but the person literally gave you the credit card information, why do you need a note too...sorry, can I speak with the manager (my inner karen awakens)? Hotel staff “There’s no manager on duty.” Me “Okay (karen dies on the vine).” Smash cut to me pulling out my own credit card to cover the stay. Why do we put credit cards on file for hotels then? What’s the point of this? Either use the card on file or don’t. But why is it we can book a flight on an app, get through the airport security with a face scan, and then you arrive at a hotel and they need a notarized blood oath signed in triplicate? For most people I get that this is trivial who cares. But for anyone whose company or a third party covers travel, hotel check-in remains the final frontier. Why hasn’t this caught up with the rest of modern life?

@aakashgupta Which of the beloved characters will be gay?

The original Little House on the Prairie went off the air in 1983. In 2024, Nielsen measured 13.25 billion minutes of streaming viewership for it. That's more than any other legacy title on any platform. A show that's been off the air for 41 years is outperforming series that launched last quarter. Netflix saw that number and made a very specific bet. They renewed Season 2 before a single viewer had seen the first episode. Netflix rarely makes that move for a drama. The confidence tells you everything about how they read the data: 90 years of compound interest on a book franchise that's sold 73 million copies in 100+ countries. The showrunner choice tells you how seriously they're taking it. Rebecca Sonnenshine ran The Boys, one of the most tonally aggressive shows on television. You don't hand her a cozy reboot. You hand her a property where you need someone who knows how to build tension inside warmth, which is exactly what the original books did. Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote survival stories disguised as children's literature. The producer angle is even better. Trip Friendly is running this. His father, Ed Friendly, produced the original NBC series. That's a 50-year generational handoff on the same property. Netflix is essentially paying for inherited institutional knowledge of what makes this franchise work. And here's the strategic layer: Netflix has been quietly building a comfort programming pipeline. Virgin River. Sweet Magnolias. Ransom Canyon. These shows never trend on Film Twitter. They don't win Emmys. They generate the kind of steady, low-churn viewership that subscription businesses are actually built on. Every streamer is chasing the next prestige hit. Netflix looked at the data and realized the most-watched legacy title on all of streaming is a family drama about a log cabin in Kansas. Sometimes the smartest content bet is the one nobody's bragging about at dinner parties.

@data_republican Hail Mary Project!

Good morning, X Patriots. Does anyone have a great movie or tv series that you can recommend that would be appropriate for a 12 year old boy? He's very into tech, but likes all genres. No animated stuff please unless you think it's 5⭐ quality and not to be missed. Old stuff is great; new stuff I'm not sure about... So much of it is garbage imo, but I'm willing to hear your opinions. Thank you!

@tinytoes731 @approachitsmart @CherokeeOwl Even if that is actually her, she would be a Jersey Republican… not exactly the bastion of conservatism.

@PorkingUS @approachitsmart @CherokeeOwl You were saying? x.com/KadzimaCollect…

Caught on camera: A tourist in Key West reaches into a coffee shop’s tip jar and steals about $20 while paying for her order. When employees at The Funky Rooster Coffee House confronted her and called the police, officers quickly tracked her down on Duval Street. Bodycam footage shows the woman (a 63-year-old from New Jersey) denying it even after being shown the surveillance video — claiming she might have just “bumped” the jar. She was arrested for misdemeanor petty theft, released on a $1,000 bond, and later pleaded no contest. Her daughter was also present and got a lecture from officers about the situation. Stealing from hard-working baristas and service staff? Not a good look — especially on vacation. Tips are how these folks make ends meet. What kind of person does this?

@approachitsmart @CherokeeOwl You can look at her an tell how she votes. Probably was in a No Kings protest recently…

@CherokeeOwl What kind of person does this? ANSWER: white liberal women from NJ. They have no couth but feel superior to others.

@PatUnleashed @realKrisCruz Do you not know that they are doing Lego documentaries now?

.@realKrisCruz is trying to tell me that this might be REAL footage of the Airman rescue in Iran.

@scenesthatslap It saddens me to see how many people in the comments have never seen one of the greatest movies ever made, Airplane!

Airplane (1980)

@KatelynTweeter Yes- if the circumstances required it.

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

@CalvinGregory70 @_iamjamila JFK Jr has been dead for a long time.

He’s so stupid lmfaooo a lot of diabetics have sugar DROPS so yes they need a lot of sugar really fast to bring their levels up.

@josephnollasj Ours leaves the chapel open. We have had stuff stolen from the church leaving the door open! Ugh!

I know that some US parishes might not be comfortable doing this, but *please* consider leaving the churches open during the day - even if there is nothing going on. It’s a beautiful thing when people can just pop in and pray for a moment.

@GovGoneWild and @RonGovernor how can every gas station in a 66 mile drive have the exact same price on gas? Sounds like collusion!

@theandreboso This!

Not sure what’s happening with Claude but since yesterday I’ve been hitting my usage limits with just a few prompts. Until a few days ago the same prompts would have consumed maybe 5% of the limits (I’m on the Pro plan). I hope this is a bug and not the new normal because this is absolutely unusable.

@AnnabelleCling @sister_allison The movie

@PorkingUS @sister_allison Insightful. Thanks. Just curious if you read the book or watched the movie?

When Project Hail Mary 1st came out (book not movie) a sister came to table & said she was reading it bc she loves books about the Blessed Mother. She was enjoying it, just taken aback by all the space stuff in it & wondering when Mary was going to show up. I love my sisters 😆
