@brittnaynay3 Cyberpunk 2077 which includes a secret room with a similar set up.

What would be the first game you would play in this setup 🤔

@Qrow_feather I have read 180 books of poetry. They have all been about death. Poets really love death. It is all they think about. Sylvia Plath? Death! Anne Sexton? Death! Charles Baudelaire? Death! Dylan Thomas? Death! Robert Lowell? For The Union Dead! Emily Dickinson? Wouldn't stop for ...

Closed minded in the box thinking. You can literally look up “poetry about …….” And find other results.

@Brahmanpathway @MarcoFoster_ We should all steal from Hasan Piker. He would want that.

Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”

@CaffeinatedLiha Every book I have read is paying rent.

It’s World Book Day 📚✨ so tell me, what’s your all‑time favorite book, the one that lives rent‑free in your heart?

@SketchesbyBoze Poetry makes me miserable. Poetry tends to be serious minded and grim. Most poets love to write about the Holocaust and death. I don't want to ponder mortality!

One thing you could begin doing right now to weave some enchantment into the day’s drudgery is to read a bit of poetry daily. People are increasingly miserable because they don’t read any poetry.

@NickReadFantasy I'm going to the library book sale after work.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only bibliophile that has any self control. I want thousands of books. I own less than 50. Most of them gifts. How do y’all have so much money to spend on books!

@roving_thinker I read books set in Italy and then one day I traveled to Italy (Rome and Venice). Get your nose out of a book and venture out into the world!

Happy World Book Day 📚✨ What countries have you traveled to by reading?

I am a small time investor. My idea of a big investment is $25.00! Yet, my small investments have yielded a substantial amount of money three times and got me out of a financial hole three times now. 💵

@libsoftiktok Encouraging youth to join organized crime rings is not progressive. Young people who get into this kind of thing do not have a great future.

I just walked into CVS in D.C. and you have to ask an employee to unlock the door if you want to buy garbage bags and paper towels I asked why? “People steal.” The employee then explained that in D.C. they don’t hold criminals so they have organized rings who steal then hand it to others to resell it. The robbers can steal up to a certain amount worth and will be released each time so they max out. This is not a third world country. This is our nation’s capital. This is what Democrats are doing to our cities.

@JoshPhillipsPhD @AlecMacGillis A brokerage account? I will admit that even my small investments help out in a pinch. Everyone should consider this. 🤔

@AlecMacGillis Is this article supposed to make people feel bad? She’s 57. She should have enough in a brokerage account to float her for 2 years until she can pull from her 401k. She can retire. Why are tax payers supporting a $257,000 salary?

"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…

@newstart_2024 If I can't afford to pay my bills I will go commie.

Francis Foster dropped a sobering warning on Joe Rogan: Even in wealthy North London neighborhoods, people are now rationing meat. Butchers report families who used to eat meat 5 days a week are down to just 2 or 3 — and this is in the “nice” areas where everyone signals virtue. Foster’s point is blunt: if the cost-of-living crisis gets worse (energy spikes, food prices rising), millions of hard-working people doing everything “right” could easily conclude “capitalism doesn’t work.” That frustration could rapidly fuel a dangerous hard-left shift toward socialism. When everyday economics stop working for normal families, ideology fills the vacuum — and the consequences can be disastrous. How close do you think we are to a tipping point where cost-of-living pain starts driving major political backlash?

@BamaSaltyMarine I had to sell some stock this week to pay my bills. This is the second time my investments have gotten me out of a financial hole. The lesson learned is to make small investments to meet future needs.

Welp, I’ve been in a deep mental hole for about 10 days! I spent most of my day thinking about our financial situation. I tried to get a loan, to pay off our debt and just have one payment each month. I couldn’t get approved, even though my credit score is above 730. I’ve reached out to a firm to reduce my debt. Although I’m having a problem wrapping my tiny little brain around everything. But, it’s all on me, will have no effect on my wife! It’s not a decision I’ll ever be proud of but it’s a decision, I feel, I had to make! Times are hard on all us elderly folks right now! Meanwhile, you just walk your ass into this country and Democrats will give everything at our expense! Don’t particularly like posting personal stuff but I have no one to talk to except the wife! Sometimes, she has difficulty understanding what I’m saying!

@SarahHuckabee Candy is now an incentive to get off welfare. If Big Mamma wants candy she has to work for it!

Hot take: putting hot rotisserie chicken on food stamps is common sense. Arkansas took items like candy and soft drinks off SNAP. Now let’s put healthy, affordable options like hot rotisserie chicken on.

@TrEnding_0_HuB You can watch a Mexican version of this show in Spanish, Casados con hijos. In fact, there are four versions of the show in Spanish for different countries.

I miss this show

@mikeroweworks If you are paying an informant you can't very well cut them a check that comes from the SPLC with the organization's name on it. You need to conceal the payment.

coffeeandcovid.com/p/800-million-… A reasonable person who spent the last 24 hours scouring the Internet searching for an accurate understanding of what just happened to The Southern Poverty Law Center could not be blamed for coming away from the process less informed and more ignorant than they were this time yesterday. The amount of irrelevant and inaccurate information around this story is extraordinary. Most of the analyses, on both sides of the aisle, focus on the informants, and whether or not they were paid by the SPLC to foment racism within the very organizations they claim oppose. (The KKK and the Charlottesville debacle, in particular.) But most of these articles miss the larger point, i.e., the underlying financial crimes that led to an $800 million dollar war chest that will now likely be frozen, thanks to years of bank fraud and illegal fundraising. Columns like the one I’ve attached are why I invited @jchilders98 onto the podcast last month. Jeff has a way of cutting through the clutter on days like today, when both sides miss the larger point. Yes, Jeff writes from a right of center perspective, and unapologetically so. But he’s also a lawyer with tons of experience in this area, and a lot of useful insight. So, if you're curious about what all this means from a legal perspective, or the black-letter law that governs financial crimes like those alleged, this column is definitely worth your time. Likewise, if you’re one of the many Americans who have financially supported The Southern Poverty Law Center over the years, this will be an essential, albeit very painful read. PS If you like his blog, you'll love the episode we recorded last month. bit.ly/41L81yj It's been amazing to watch the C&C Army grow...

I put my genius to good use solving my own problems, not math problems. 🧐

@CynicalPublius Social justice crusaders do not care about the truth. They have an elaborate theory which holds that everything is a narrative. Therefore everything can be a story which has no basis in fact.

You need to understand the Democrat mind. They don't care if the Southern Poverty Law Center committed wire fraud. They don't care if the SPLC made false official statements to the federal government. They don't care if the SPLC engaged in conspiracy to commit money laundering. They don't care because to them, the ends always justifies the means. Rank-and-file Democrats see the SPLC as being virtuous, so therefore they don't care about the crimes. The Democrat leadership sees the SPLC as one of the very most effective tools they have to achieve and maintain power, and since power is all they care about, they don't care about the crimes.

@FBIDirectorKash "Then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities". If they were paying informants, then maybe this was done to hide their operations from the extremist groups. 🤔

The money doesn’t lie. The evidence shows the charity who supposedly fought the Klan - FUNDED the Klan. The charity who supposedly fought Neo-nazis - FUNDED Neo-nazis. The SPLC engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, funded the very hate groups they claim to oppose, and then hid their operations from the public through shell companies and fake entities. This @FBI and @DAGToddBlanche won’t let them get away with it any longer.

@CollinRugg @AshtonForbes Just for the record, I am pro-gravity, not anti-gravity. If you are in favor of gravity, you have no beef with me!

NEW: Researcher working on anti-gravity technology, whose death was ruled a su*cide, sent a text just one month before her death saying she would never kill herself, according to the Daily Mail. Amy Eskridge was found with a gunshot to the head in Huntsville, Alabama. Eskridge told a friend that she had been the target of multiple physical and psychological attacks, including being a victim of an “energy weapon,” before her death. “If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not,” she reportedly said in a text in May 2022. In an interview before she died, Eskridge said she was getting scared and said she needed “to disclose soon.”

@AlexanderKalian I do need money to buy a mask and a cape to go with my white lab coat. I need to keep up appearances as a super villain.

@Robert_Robbins You sound like you might need 20% of $2m, plus three Harvard MBAs and one VC partner as your new bosses - interested?

I first truly fathomed the scale of the AI bubble when I tried Y Combinator's cofounder matching service. As soon as I wrote that I was an AI PhD guy, I got swarmed with Ivy League MBA founder teams looking for someone to "do the AI magic" for their startup ideas. One team of three Harvard MBAs told me they had already secured $2M in VC funding to "solve the unit economics problem of AI". They just needed an AI guy to… you know… actually solve it (one of the toughest challenges in AI research right now). In return, I'd get 20% equity while they handled marketing, pitch decks, and whatever else - after the VCs took their cut. I still wonder to this day who gave three Harvard MBAs with zero AI expertise $2M to start an aspiring frontier AI lab. And this is just one of many stories. The situation is not normal or economically efficient. It is blatantly a speculative tech mania and hype-driven investment bubble.
