@matty_b @loudibella Being made fun of by your teammates for a lack of ball hair isn’t exactly a debilitating mental health experience

@loudibella Let me explain it to you like you are 5. I'm 40+ years old, I got bullied the fuck because I made the varsity ice hockey team, and my balls barely had hair. It fucking sucked but never gave me an excuse to quit. Never made me feel suicide or some bullshit was the answer.

This is more damaging than ANY political opinion Dana White has or any politicized mma on the White House lawn. This is a pathology that kills and pushing a stigma/silence that causes people to see killing themselves as a legit option. Maybe Dana White should NEVER talk about his opinions of mental health struggles. He may save a few lives that way. "Man up" isn't wonderful therapy for a sick person; and mental illness is real illness, no matter what the fuck Dana thinks. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention

@BettyChand88306 @Thelibfemitards @DailyMail Vance is the least popular Vice President on record at this point in his term

@Thelibfemitards @DailyMail He is neither uncharismatic nor unpopular. Wasn't that the line used on DeSantis. This stuff gets old.

JD Vance considers abandoning run for president in 2028.

@marcjoffe @jamesetta_w @grok Provide an overview of the state of the US economy when Biden took office. Was the country undergoing a recession at that point?

@jamesetta_w The recession had ended months before Biden took office. The American Rescue Plan was a total waste of money.

My unpopular opinion is that Biden’s econ team achieved their stated goal of world class Covid recovery, avoided recession (once thought inevitable), prioritized employment, navigated global inflation, and delivered benefits to the working class. it’s just that voters hated it.

@alexrey @Awk20000 They’re both pretty annoying

@Awk20000 She went from the smartest man in the world to the dumbest boy/ Dog abuser. Weird.

Ashley St Clair lets Hasan read her texts with Elon Musk regarding her satellites and real time data accusations "He actually talks like this?..and u made a Jewish space laser joke and he laughed at it..I have over 10,000 lasers in space” “U literally sound like him..u changed the way u talk to sound exactly like him..that's crazy" "U guys send memes to eachother..sending epic memes..that's embarrassing"

I’ve lived in California all my life. And I don’t disagree that Newsom would sail to a third term if he were constitutionally eligible, but that’s beside the point. He isn’t personally responsible for most of California’s problems, many of which require solutions far beyond the capacity of a state governor. But that doesn’t change the fact that, as the face of California, Newsom has become synonymous with poor governance in the eyes of millions of Americans. That’s going to be a huge problem for him when he inevitably runs for president next cycle. As I said, Alex Padilla is already a US Senator — a position with comparable prestige and political influence to Governor, but without the responsibility of managing an entire state, constantly dealing with crises, and making difficult decisions that are guaranteed to upset people. That’s especially true in a state as large, populous, and complex as California, which I can only imagine is a nightmare to govern. In many ways, California functions like an entire country, in terms of population, economic scale, and sheer magnitude of problems, and yet the Governor has to manage all of that with a fraction of the resources and capabilities of a national government. So what exactly is the appeal for Padilla? Being a member of the Senate is easily one of the best jobs in politics. Why trade in a cushy position as one of the 100 most prominent officials in the federal government — where he has a direct role in shaping national policy, only runs for reelection every six years, has no term limits, and where his hardest decisions amount to casting votes usually already chosen by party leadership anyway — for a far more stressful and politically thankless job?

@_Magnum___ @PollTracker2024 I keep seeing this from people that refuse to get the CA political landscape. Newsom would win again if he was allowed to run.

Axios: California's ugly succession war hangs over Gavin Newsom Sen. Alex Padilla caught Newsom off guard Nov. 4 by declaring he wouldn't run for governor — depriving Newsom of his preferred successor on the same day the governor triumphed in a statewide redistricting referendum. The governor has resisted endorsing any other potential successor ahead of the June 2 primary. There's no clear Democratic frontrunner, and he wants to have a good relationship with whoever wins. axios.com/2026/05/10/gav…

Not personally, but I come from a family of very successful entrepreneurs. I’m talking hundreds of millions of dollars. One thing I’ve learned from the most successful people in my family is that hard work, smart decision-making, and proper planning are absolute prerequisites for success, but luck can still be the difference between a startup that gets acquired or goes public and one that fails. The bottom line is that you’re absolutely right about the importance of personal agency in achieving success. If you don’t have your ducks in a row, you have no chance. It’s only when you’re doing everything in your power to succeed that the opportunity to capitalize on luck even arises. But to discount that factor entirely is ridiculous.

@_Magnum___ @CoreyWriting I can’t disagree more, have you ever owned a business? I’ve had several. If you plan and execute correctly, that is what guarantees your success. The luck part of it is minimal at best

I think a lot of ultra-wealthy people don't truly grasp how much of their success was luck and timing, not just their sheer personal brilliance.

The fact that a large part of success comes down to luck doesn’t take away from the hard work and dedication involved. Of course any self-made billionaire had to work their ass off to reach that level. The point is that hard work alone in no way guarantees success — luck is a huge factor in determining whether a startup fails or grows into a major company.

@CoreyWriting You’re an idiot if you believe that, all of these billionaires that you think are lucky have started in a basement or a garage and worked their ass off, give credit where credit is due

There is a pervasive belief among leftists that they — and nobody else — are in touch with the American public. They think that their ideas and priorities are so incredibly popular that Democrats could win every national election simply by running on their platform. And, by extension, when Democrats lose it must be the result of their failure to embrace the causes and policies of the left.

Can someone please ask AOC & everyone else WHY they think there was a "Gaza" effect? Because there is no evidence to support it. There was little protest-voting. Voters said they didn't care about Gaza. People stayed home. Correlated demos moved right. Including in AOC's district

There is no evidence of a Gaza effect. Literally every piece of available data indicates "no effect." Insofar as there could have been an effect, it was indirect & not protest-oriented. The demos who stayed home are the same demos who turned right. Jill Stein underperformed 2016.

Unpopular take: Maybe Israel/Gaza wasn't much of a factor for Harris in 2024. Slotkin, Gallego, Rosen, Baldwin, Stein all won in swing states that Harris lost holding positions on Israel similar to the WH. Shapiro has sky high approval in PA. #DNCAutopsy

@filminwitfrends @I_amMukhtar That’s called a double standard

@I_amMukhtar George Floyyd was a scumbag POS human. Charlie Kirk was a saint. There’s the difference retard

This is incredible. These two said a joke about Charlie Kirk in Kevin Hart’s roast was inappropriate, then seconds later got triggered when Piers read out a statement from George Floyd’s family objecting to a joke made during the roast. "Why do we care what George Floyd’s family says?"

The USA is quite singular among industrialized countries with its progressive policy, in places like NYC, Austin, SF, etc., of letting the severely, violence-prone mentally ill roam around public spaces untreated. One just doesn't see this in other countries, whether developed or developing, frankly.

@MysterioJR24 @_BuzzBrief__ @gifdsports Give me a break dude

@_BuzzBrief__ @gifdsports It’s all fake. Donald trump wanted the belt in American hands and he took a dive. So embarrassing for the ufc

Sean Strickland celebrates with wife and father-in-law . “I might not be the son-in-law you expected but here we are #ufc328

@coopernicus01 @CryptoMikli He’s really not though. He’s maybe at the very entry level of what would be considered “famous” in LA circles.

@CryptoMikli bro is at the top of the food chain ofc it’s nice there

Mike Majlak reveals that being famous for years put him in a “bubble”, so he doesn’t really experience the dark side of LA “I kind of exist in a little bit of a bubble, so I don’t get to see the fakeness that everybody talks about” “Ever since I got here, I moved in with Logan. We’ve had millions of viewers every week and some level of clout for 10 years now. I just don’t get to see those people. Everybody is like, ‘Oh, they’re so fake and like they didn’t let me in this place and I didn’t get treated this way’” “I don’t have any of those gripes because, like I said, I just live in a little bit of a bubble. Anything I want, there’s kind of somebody there to give it to us. I’m very blessed in the way I get to exist in LA. I don’t really see a lot of the dark side of it”

I swear to Christ the Democratic Party’s message at this point is “all of the most progressive places are unaffordable shitholes where nobody can afford an apartment, therefore you should vote for us”

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing people that Republicans are good for the economy.

Every time Republicans take power, they increase the deficit. Every time Democrats take power, they reduce it.
