1️⃣ “Things could be so much better” 2⃣ “Things could be so much worse” These are both true statements, but there's an asymmetry between them. Improvement is a tightrope; ruin is the whole canyon. At any given moment there are only a handful of ways to make life better, but an infinite number of ways to shatter it... yet we sit and mope about the fraying thread of the tightrope instead of thanking gravity, and God, we’re not in free-fall.

@Spectractiz @64ozDrPepper @nkulw lolllll

@64ozDrPepper @QuiteBrazen @nkulw not to mention, any human actions like this are exacerbated by climate change, where tinder dry conditions are perfect conditions for massive wildfires.

You’re a shitty writer in addition to being really stupid. Log off and do something more productive like hand count the dust particles in your house

@wyjaa @1776Avenue @sighswoon So it was God and the melting ice caps that started it then?

@1776Avenue @sighswoon Sure. it wasn’t a tweaker like this lunatic said it was. There’s your update

I don’t ‘deny climate change is real’ but I do think people too often use it as a catch-all term that is quite empty and actionless and distracts from many other things going on that can actually be evaluated. It feels like everyone is just pointing at air in the sky and then getting mad if you don’t join the empty gesture, like it’s some insane evil move to be like, Well, What else?? What else other than asking me to repeat climate change woes? It’s making everyone really stupid and small, just hypnotized by that one take only. Am I the only one feeling that ? It’s so silly and weird to watch. Just feels off

@benroy Hell yeah Ben. Stoked to try this! (If this sync would ever finish! Have you experienced with long—30min—delays with that? My first time trying and not sure if it's normal.)

@Rom_Toss @BuckSexton lol "intellect" "gov't sanctioned executions"

The left has empathy. They are saddened by this. They also have intellect. And understand there’s a difference between this & gov’t sanctioned executions by agents with “absolute immunity” You bootlickers have neither empathy nor intellect, and will spend your lives ostracized as pariahs from civil society.

Jimmy Kimmel won't cry about this. Neither will Natalie Portman. Or Elizabeth Warren. They won't even mention it. In fact they don't care about this killing at all. We all know why.

It’s not that hard to change bro, you just need to figure out your fear of success which means you’re unconsciously terrified of surpassing your parents and becoming unrecognizable to your family system so you stay small to maintain belonging, and your fear of failure which means public judgment would confirm what you secretly believe about yourself, and your fear of exposure because if people saw the real you they’d discover you’ve been faking competence this whole time, and the secondary gain you’re getting from suffering because pain gives you an identity and an excuse structure and honestly gets you more attention than health would, and your unconscious loyalty to your family system because nobody in your lineage ever made it so who are you to break the pattern, and your repetition compulsion where you keep recreating the exact same painful dynamic because your nervous system literally doesn’t know how to process anything else, and your unresolved grief that’s sitting in your chest like a stone because you never actually let yourself feel it so it just runs in the background corrupting everything, and your shame which isn’t something you feel but something you ARE at the core identity level, and your learned helplessness from that time you tried and it didn’t work so now your brain has generalized that trying equals futility, and your toxic guilt about wanting more because somewhere you learned that ambition is selfish and wanting things takes them from others, and your unmetabolized trauma that’s literally stored in your tissues and shows up as a freeze response every time you approach the thing, and your attachment wounds from childhood which means you either cling until you suffocate people or disappear before they can leave you first, and your internal parts conflict because your protector parts are trying to keep your exiled parts safe while your firefighter parts burn everything down the moment you get close to success, and your shadow material aka all the parts of yourself you’ve disowned that are now running your life from backstage, and your ego protection because growth requires the death of who you currently are and your ego is correctly identifying that as a threat, and your internalized critical parent who’s still running commentary on everything you do decades later, and your narcissistic injury avoidance because testing your potential against reality might reveal you’re not as special as the fantasy requires, and your perfectionism which isn’t high standards but a control mechanism that lets you say “I never really tried” forever, and your analysis paralysis which is just intellectualization dressed up as rigor, and your counterdependency where you refuse help because you’ve confused isolation with strength, and your passive aggression turned inward which is just unexpressed anger eating you from the inside, and your psychic foreclosure where you locked into an identity too early and now you can’t explore, and your existential guilt because you feel bad for individuating AND feel bad for not individuating so you’re stuck.

@rasmr_eth ⛽️? if it's the new goat we're still early, chuck some medium size in and let's roll

It's always the coins I'm watching, but fade, that moon hardest as I'm sidelined. Lesson there.

STOP HOLDING BACK YOUR GIFT ✨

@ScottAdamsSays You did good.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

@noah0x0 @jmrphy So no answer…

@QuiteBrazen @jmrphy If you were a father, you’d get it—if you ARE a father, and still don’t get it, then I have bad news for you…

Am I just a monster? It's been 4 years since I became a father and I'm beginning to fear for my soul. The truth is I just don't like being around kids for very long. Historically, this is not uncommon among fathers, but today it feels almost illegal. It's causing me a lot of confusion and anguish. The ideal amount of time I would like to spend playing with my kids is probably about 70-140 minutes a week—roughly ten minutes each day, maybe 2x/day, taking breaks from work. My feelings of love toward them are perfectly strong, but if I have to watch them or entertain them for more than about 10 minutes my blood starts to boil. I just want to be working, or accomplishing something. I try to be grateful, but it doesn't work. It's 9 AM this morning, Saturday, January 3. It's a sunny, warm day here in Austin, and my four-year-old son is begging me to play catch in the street. I was drinking coffee, still waking up, so I didn’t really feel like it, but at this age his desire to play is insatiable. He begged and begged, so I conceded, and with a smile. I have no problem being a kind and loving father, the problem is only that I do not enjoy it. It's not that I'm trying to maximize my personal pleasure; it just seems wrong that I experience so little delight when my dad friends all claim to experience so much. It was beautiful. We live on a picturesque, tree-lined block. I am even relatively relaxed from the holiday rest. Playing catch with your son is supposed to be an iconic, peak experience. Yet for every single minute, on the inside, I just don't want to be there. I want to be drinking my coffee in peace. Then I feel guilty and absurdly ungrateful, and ashamed, when we're done. I know that when he is a teenager, I'll long to have these days back. I have all of this perspective rationally, and I've been very patient and steadfast trying to digest it, but nothing fixes me emotionally. Am I a terrible person? Or is my feeling within a certain range of historically normal and it's modern parenting norms that are off? Whether it's my fault or not, I don't even care, I just want to figure this out. Something is wrong and I no longer have the excuse of being new to this.

Genuine question: why would you say this? What is your goal or point? To judge and condemn him, without any hope for redemption, to make yourself feel better? To punish him for sharing his darkness and shadow with the world? Also, would "a pathetic monster" be this honest with himself or the world?

@jmrphy You are—and I really mean this so so deeply—a pathetic monster ❤️

Something to try on this last day of 2025 (w/ paper and pen): 1. A quick audit of the past year. What worked/didn't, what felt good/bad, how you changed/stayed the same, etc. 2. Then, a (much slower) audit of the year to come. An imagining of the ways it went well, how you grew and did all the things you always wanted to do, fixed the relationships you cared about, took care of your body, became more of the person you've always wanted to be, etc. Give yourself a picture to walk into and then go walk into it.

It's fucking epic that at any moment you can choose to remember Oh, I'm the one holding the controller to this video game called MY LIFE and then just steer your character toward thoughts and actions that undoubtedly make your ideal life more, rather than less, likely.

@NarcNormand @JackStr67850681 @mtaibbi Government pressuring private companies to censor Americans for constitutionally protected speech is bad, actually.

@JackStr67850681 @mtaibbi Because there was nothing of substance that came out

My subscriptions went down for the first time in January and February of 2023, at the peak of the Twitter Files, for the perfectly sensible reason that all my content was coming out for free on Twitter. You are wrong and Higgins is wrong. You can’t just invent things

@bariweiss @benshapiro @TPUSA @TheFP are you an assad toadie

Only Cowards Tolerate Conspiracy Theorists. @benshapiro delivered a barnburner tonight @TPUSA. Read the whole thing in @TheFP: thefp.com/p/ben-shapiro-…

@mandylu Those are solid chips for (what looks like) a home game! Do you play a lot of NL cash games?

i dare you to share the first green photo in your camera roll

@JennaFights4You It's not complicated at all... it's just very wrong and very stupid.

Many comments are saying, "No one is denying you humanity." When you say that trans women are not women and that you're just "stating biology," that is denying us our humanity. This isn't complicated to understand.

@donmcgowan Can't tell if you're serious or not. If parody, well played.

Why the far-right always use per capita data, and why it's almost always the wrong answer. Scary charts and numbers achieved by misusing statistics. Free to read on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/donmcgowan…

There are, right now, actions you can take that will make your ideal life more, or less, likely. This is always the case, in every single moment. It should be our highest priority to remember this fact as often as possible.

@BowTiedFox @Cotton_Maverick interested

@Cotton_Maverick I'm trying to figure out a way to sell the sauce without giving away my competitive advantage and saturating it maybe I'll price it super high and just do 1-1 private calls where I show people how to do it manually working on some software tools to make it easier. so much to do

this is what's possible with AI advertising I'm going all-in on this.
