@goldengibees People under 30 have created insane expectations for concerts, as if they are the center of the universe

@ItsCrystalSue I went to buy 2 cans of soup at my grocery store and full price it was $9 for both. Not cool!!

It’s definitely the way poverty food is also now outrageously expensive too. Flour, canned vegetables, bread, oats, sugar, yeast.
It’s not even possible to hack your way into cheap groceries bc the cheap groceries are expensive too.

Also it’s very underrated how much food prices have increased. Try making a trey of lasagna for under $30. It requires legitimate effort and looking for deal when it should be effortless to do homemade lasagna for cheap. It’s poverty food

@mrs_alyse Willingly participating in surveillance culture and treating myself like a criminal with an ankle monitor? No thanks.

18 years with my husband and I have never once asked him to send me his location. We also don't have the tracking on our phones.
I feel like the oddball. If he's not with me or at work, he tells me where he's going and about when he'll be heading home. 🤷♀️

tbh I think it’s weird that some couples don’t share location with one another

@SamJone14259925 @GovernorShapiro Oh there was a worldwide virus that was killing millions of people
English
@GovernorShapiro My 5 year old had to wear a piece of cloth over his mouth for a year & had to sit 6 ft away from his peers in Kindergarten. Why wasn’t my child allowed to be a kid then?
English
The best thing we can do for our kids right now is to just let them be kids.
Kids are getting cell phones sooner than any generation before them, screen times are up while real human connection is down, and foundational skills aren’t being taught enough these days. We need to take a step back.
It’s why I just signed a bipartisan bill into law, requiring cursive handwriting to once again be taught in PA public schools. It’s also why I’ve called on the legislature to pass a bill requiring schools to both implement a bell-to-bell cell phone ban and guarantee recess for every Pennsylvania student.
Let’s continue our work to set young people on a path to success — and let our kids be kids.

@ksullzz Taryn was great for women Phillies fans and men loved her too. Nobody is saying that about Ben and Ruben. Awful decision to not keep her!
English
ben and ruben over taryn? they actually just don’t know their audience and hate women 🤙

@MissIgraine @danaparish ChatGPT, Google search results, Reddit history… all things that aren’t 100% private but no way would I let HR look over my shoulder onto my personal device during an interview.
English
@danaparish It's also scary that the candidate thinks what she writes in ChatGPT is private and personal.
Are people really this ignorant?! OpenAI owns everything you write.
You're literally giving away extra personal information about yourself, willingly... I'd never use it.
English
🤯🤯🤯 HR asked potential candidate to open ChatGPT during interview & ask, “Based on my past conversations, can you analyze my behavioral tendencies?”
When she declined, the vibe went south.
This is insanely scary & inappropriate.
English
@0xMerridew So much of what ChatGPT “can do for me”, I can already do with my own brain. Nobody sees it as a necessity.
English
@theotricality There’s a tablet on the table behind them, you can see the screen glowing. If it’s a place like Olive Garden there are games on it. Not helpful if you are trying to keep your kid from screens!

@axios @hollyotterbein Democrats who live in PA don’t think it will tear anything apart. Fetterman has barely any support left from people who voted for him.

@arne__ness It’s 2 generations totally ruined by smartphones. Parents in their 40s-50s acting like this and then their teenagers absorbing the neurotic behavior.
English
@asthasr @AlisonSomin My 5 y/o was quietly playing Legos by herself while I got her books like 20 feet away. She came running out crying after the librarian told her she wasn’t allowed in there without a parent, and felt like she was in trouble. Just unnecessary.
English
In 1951, at age eight, my dad walked a quarter mile to school alone every day. In 2025, an eight year old can’t explore the chapter books on the other side of a large room alone while her parent reads picture books to a sibling.
English
@mkhammer 0% of the parents tracking their kids today had their own lives tracked as teenagers. It's sad that a whole generation of new parents suddenly decided to do this. It also makes the kids more fearful of the world when parents tell them "I have to track you or you won't be safe."
English
This is a cultural shift I would very much like to opt out of. This is the civilian equivalent of “if you’ve got nothing to hide, why wouldn’t you talk to cops w/o a lawyer?” Bc humans you love are entitled to some autonomy? Even the name Life360 creeps me out. Goes for my kids, too.
Is this my Gen X cusp birth year showing? I like the idea of being able to find my loved ones in an emergency situation, but we are losing something in the exchange. (Stipulated, I know trusting couples who share location all the time and for many of them, it doesn’t seem unhealthy at all, I think bc it’s not born of suspicion. It certainly could be unhealthy in some dynamics.) A state of constant surveillance of loved ones just isn’t my thing, although I do keep track of my kids’ extremely minimal online life. Let them free range in real life, clamp down on their Internet lives, not the other way around.
Nick Huber@sweatystartup
Anybody in a serious relationship should be comfortable sharing their location with the other person. If they don’t, they’re up to no good. No exceptions. I haven’t heard a single valid argument against this.
English
@emmcooper42 It sounds like a lot but I don't have cable and was paying $80+ for YouTube TV or Hulu to watch Phillies games up until now! This is a good alternative if you don't have cable.

$24.95 a month? For one channel’s worth? In this economy??
Matt Gelb@MattGelb
If you live in the Philadelphia market, you can now stream Phillies games. NBC Sports Philadelphia is doing it through The Peacock. They’ll charge you $24.95 a month in addition to a Peacock subscription, which runs $7.99 or $13.99.

@shegone03 Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey….. why is it always the middle age men with hairlines running away from them coming after us guys with long hair? I get it, your time with hair is limited but jealousy isn’t a good look on ya sir.

@SportyRMcKenzie And Chicken Fry girl is different from Chicken Shop Date girl?
English
My wife explained to me that Zac Brown, Zach Bryan, and Luke Bryan are 3 completely different people who happen to work in the same industry, and the one who dated a girl named Chicken Fry had nothing to do with a song called Chicken Fried, and I think I have a brain bleed.

@FreeRangeKids This is pretty normal in apps used by daycares. It's info you want to see when you have a baby and you know their diapers are being changed, and helpful when you have a toddler potty training. Continuing into pre-k age is not necessary but teachers are used to doing it.
English
PARENTS!
I'd love to hear what EXCESS, DETAILED, UNNECESSARY info you are getting from apps, schools, or other sources abt your kids.
One mom showed me a daily down-to-the-minute email from kid's pre-k about when they peed & pooped.
Email Lenore at LetGrow .org or DM me!

@AkilahObviously It's freeing to realize we don't have to listen to these people, they're usually so wrong. Very few people want smart glasses and AI bullshit to replace how they've always gone about life. He doesn't live in reality.
English
Can we just acknowledge that Mark is rich, but he doesn’t have good ideas. He stole a good idea one time. The fact that Meta is called Meta and not Facebook is a perfect example.

🚨 Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts smart glasses will replace phones by 2030 " Smart glasses are going to become the next major computing platform. They will gradually replace phones by 2030, much like mobile devices surpassed computers without fully replacing them "

@NPRinskeep People expect news articles to magically appear in front of their eyes. If you want to read the news, you have to you know, go to a news site like a big boy.

Just read a social media post saying that “the only coverage” of Asheville, NC is “on social media.” Here is a sample of NPR’s coverage, which has continued for days and that you can share on social media.
