The good years are past, and the hard ones are just beginning.


And it seems to me, you lived your life, like a candle in the wind…..


Kate Lindsay and Scaachi Koul discuss the internet’s response to Lindy West’s new book—and how its subjects are firing back. slate.trib.al/x5cLKHQ



The question for young men is to figure out precisely what is holding you back from your dreams, and how to break through the barrier. The Torbas of the world will sell you resentment and scapegoating, but besides being a distortion of reality, it won't help you build your life. If you're honest about your circumstances, the real conclusion is not "the Jews are why my life isn't where I want it to be," in the same way as "whiteness, or systemic racism, is why my life isn't where I want it to be." While it's fine to solve social problems, my observation is that people who are obsessed with blaming Jews, whites, blacks, whomever, have real individual issues they need to sort through, and will be disappointed to discover that spending a few years hating the scapegoat didn't materially improve their lives at all.

A married couple revealed their government checks. “$142,000 a year.” From disability. $4,700 a month for her. $7,200 a month for him. What does it say about the system when they’re making more doing nothing than the taxpayers working to fund it.


Is this what you thought Yellowstone Park was like? Unmoving traffic jams lasting 1-3 hours; rivaling that of suburban areas in big cities. Nowhere to park. Insane prices. Tourists harassing animals, littering, picking flowers, influencers everywhere, sticking their hands in basins and ruining them, no good camping spots left because people use AI programs to snatch up the good ones within milliseconds of the site opening up, and most of your day spent behind Asian tourist busses. The overwhelming amount of tourists have made the park experience unbearable. You used to be able to go there and explore nature peacefully. Now it's worse than Disneyland.


A 30-year-old in 1980 owned a house like this working at the local factory. Married six years with three kids. Weekends meant Little League games. Both sets of grandparents lived within five miles. The kids would attend the same high school he did and grow up with the children of his own friends. This is a dying concept

Massachusetts approved a millionaire tax of an extra 4% of income above $1 million in 2022. This is in addition to the 5% state income tax everyone pays. So the wealthy in that state pay 9% on top of their federal income taxes of 37%. As a result, they are moving to New Hampshire, Florida and other states with no state income taxes




Just a normal American thing to celebrate Ramadan with “New Yorkers in custody”







It is very jarring to see President Obama come out of retirement (violating norms!) to record incessant ads for a 10-1 gerrymander of a 55-45 state, when the state's Republican governor who left office only 3 months ago hasn't opened his mouth or deep pockets in opposition.




@TheXReportCard The klan killed millions and whoever thought of this is sick. They don’t need to do anything for revenge cause they are living rent free in your head.
