Do you have feelings & impulses that lead to hate? Listen & then reflect honestly. You're so important!

@KatieMiller Having raised six boys who are men of purpose & compassion who protect, create, nurture, invent, & lead, it pains me to see people with such stunted & sickly views. Boys are NOT defective girls. louannbrizendine.com/the-male-brain

Liberal women have been so thoroughly trained by feminism to hate men that they now resent the baby boys they’re carrying.
It’s not “gender disappointment.” It’s ideological rot.
A baby boy is a gift — and the world needs good men now more than ever.

@readswithravi Crucial Conversations - we desperately need the skills & willingness to talk when the stakes are heighest. I have personally purchased hundreds of copies & given them away. Zero theory. It's all instantly useful tactics.

What’s one book that you will never stop recommending?

@yacineMTB We have 6 sons, I have always been sole earner. I have quietly felt such exhaustion. Many times. But we must compartmentalize. We then crack on. If you need a bit of a boost, just text me and I’ll give you a pep talk. You’re going better than you think.

@drantbradley A wonderfully remarkable man. He was willing to put himself on the line for defending the inherent dignity of all human beings.

Really sad news. "The Woodson Center is saddened to announce the passing of its Founder and President, Robert L. Woodson, Sr., who died peacefully in his sleep on May 19, 2026 at the age of 89." May his memory be eternal!

@mattvanswol Yet more evidence of our true culture. I refuse to surrender my optimism about the future. I am not unfamiliar with the inhumanity around us. But there are far more reasons to have hope. It's not close.

🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of people have just shown up to the funeral of 98-year old John Bernard Arnold III, a WW2 veteran with no known relatives.
The public was invited to attend to ensure the veteran was honored and not laid to rest alone.
Hundreds came. Absolutely beautiful.

@pmarca Leadership requires having an actual vision and braving every obstacle to achieve it. The circles I have blessed to run in are chock full of people who proven this infallibly true. I am relentlessly optimistic about our future. It’s exciting!

@DaThermidorian @DangerousThinkg I've seen this fellow do another parody. Is he popularly known for doing such things?

Podcast wishlist: The Lost Archives of Douche Nation (a proposed audio spinoff of Parks & Recreation’s Crazy Ira and The Douche).

@curraheevet @lamps_apple @BerzekSavant You may indeed be right. I think we can all recall times when we either hastily did something of poor quality or let our passion about a situation compromise our composure & accuracy. I hope the best for Shawn. He’s a good egg.
English
@johnrdurant @lamps_apple @BerzekSavant For him, I think it is a lack of skill, sloppy work, and willful deception.
If he truly cared, he would use his skills to ensure he didn't provide sloppy work.

Shawn. Every number in this post is wrong. Disgraceful to spread this propaganda to millions of people.
"$118 oil." Brent closed at $101.73 on April 22. WTI is $92. The number doesn't exist.
"25% of global oil supply." Hormuz carries 20-25% of seaborne oil trade. That is not global supply. Actual demand destruction from the closure is 4-5 million bpd, roughly 5% of global output. You're off by 5x.
"Forced ships to pay in Chinese yuan." Two vessels have paid in yuan. Two. Out of 26 vetted IRGC transits since March 13. The toll accepts yuan, Bitcoin, and USDT. It's a toll booth... not a currency regime.
"Gulf states dumping US treasuries." Show the TIC data. You can't, because it doesn't exist. State Street's April note... no evidence in flow data or price action of any dumping or shift in foreign ownership.
"Bond markets selling off." 10-year moved from 4.17% at year-end to 4.26%. Nine basis points. That's a Tuesday.
"Inflation surging." Headline CPI 3.3%, driven by a gas spike. Core CPI printed 2.6%, below expectations. Gasoline moved. The broader index stayed contained.
"Deutsche Bank warning of a petroyuan era." One strategist. The operative word she used was "could." Franklin Templeton and Brown Brothers Harriman torched it within weeks. The yuan is 3% of global central bank reserves. China's capital account is closed. It's going nowhere near 50%.
"Oil has only been sold in dollars since the 1970s." This is the Kissinger secret-treaty fable. No exclusivity agreement ever existed. Saudi Arabia accepted British pounds well into 1974. Oil trades in dollars because the Eurodollar market made dollars the deepest liquidity pool on earth by 1955, not because of a secret decree.
This is the exact narrative template Russian and Chinese info ops have been seeding for ten years because it keeps Americans convinced the dollar is one headline away from collapse. It isn't.
You're reaching Ro Khanna levels of retardation
Shawn Ryan@ShawnRyan762
The petrodollar is the foundation of American power. Since the 1970s, oil has only been sold in dollars, forcing every nation on earth to hold dollars, fund our debt, and keep us dominant. Iran just systematically dismantled that. They closed Hormuz, cutting 25% of global oil supply. Spiked oil to $118 a barrel. Then forced ships to pay in Chinese yuan for passage. Now Gulf states are dumping US treasuries, bond markets are selling off, inflation is surging, Deutsche Bank is warning of a petroyuan era. Every link in the petrodollar chain is snapping at once. When it's gone, your borrowing costs explode, your savings erode, and America loses the financial weapon that has kept us dominant for 50 years. China wins without ever pulling a trigger.

Majority of my generation (b 1966) fully internalized the lofty vision of Dr. King. It guides our thoughts & sincere (imperfect) striving to live up to it. It still feels so right. I have learned from experience that we cannot insult, divide, hate, & revenge our way to a better world.
English
Nothing. Seriously, nothing… and I live in a supposed “sun down town.”
Most right-leaning white folks are friendly as hell to me. It’s the left-leaning white folks who remind me on a daily basis that Democrats be Democratin’. If it weren’t for the fact that it would probably take 20+ of them to tie me down and string me up, I’d be on a t-shirt right now with angel wings air painted on it (or devil horns… I’m working on it…)
Maybe stop looking at folks’ skin color to determine how triggered you are and instead, touch grass and realize that racism is a construct that can be defeated.

@washghost1 We must all turn ourselves outward & show respect for others and their needs before our own. I have raised 6 sons & strived (imperfectly) to nurture them while also respecting the needs of those around me. It is a path to peace & cooperation for all.

She should at least pick the kid up and try to soothe her instead of letting her make all that noise

@cremieuxrecueil We cannot hate, kill, revenge, and insult our way to a better world. It has never worked and never will. History has infallibly proven this true.

This isn't real. If anything, Thompson saved lives.
This is just a lazy excuse to support murdering people he dislikes.
Pirate Wires@PirateWires
In a new NYT interview, Hasan Piker says that many “understand” Luigi Mangione killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson because Thompson himself was guilty of “social murder”

@Jason @NYTimesPR It is not honorable to take or harm what one does not own. It is simply good to express divergent opinions only in respectful ways.
English
This journalist said she would cheer on anyone stealing art from the Louvre... this @NYTimesPR video is absolutely deranged and required listening.
These three are going back and forth advocating, admitting and laughing up stealing from companies... and then they get into murdering CEOs
@jason@Jason
That "say more" feeling deranged people get when @hasanthehun explains "social murder" as a justification for the assassination of a CEO...

@washghost1 Amazing. I lived with a wonderful Tongan family and ate ufi, kumala, talo, lupulu & so many great foods like ones shown here-among reasons they & Samoans are strong & healthy in body and spirit! ❤️

@JenniferSey @grey4626 I encourage this w/ my sons: with quiet dignity, accept the NO's in life you cannot control, & move *all* your energy into the YES's that you can control. If you believe your treatment requires official redress, we have a legal apparatus for this. Use it. Otherwise, get to work.

Jesus fucking Christ, Aubrey...how monumentally, cosmically fucking stupid do you have to be to torch your employer on a public platform, spill every drop of internal tea like a scorned teenager, and then act shocked...SHOCKED...when the axe falls?
This isn’t some profound mystery of corporate betrayal; it’s basic primate hierarchy 101.
You don’t shit in the nest and expect to keep the branch.
There’s a special kind of narcissistic delusion at work here: the belief that your “truth” is so sacred, so untouchable, that consequences simply don’t apply to you.
You convinced yourself that because you felt righteous, the organization you spent years building would just absorb the public evisceration and thank you for the feedback.
That’s not courage, sweetheart.
That’s pathological entitlement wrapped in a victim costume.
You waved the “free speech” flag while simultaneously demanding immunity from the natural fallout of that speech.
The irony!
You wanted the applause of the outrage mob without paying the toll that literally everyone else on planet fucking Earth understands comes with it.
This isn’t TPUSA being petty; this is cause and effect, action and reaction, the cold, indifferent physics of professional survival.
You weren’t fired for “skepticism.”
You were fired for torching the bridge while still standing on it, then screaming arson when it collapsed beneath you.
Own your fucking recklessness.
The adult world doesn’t reward public tantrums with severance and sympathy...it rewards discretion, loyalty, and strategic silence until you’re safely on the other side.
Grow the fuck up Aubrey. Stop being a fucking outrage mob whore.
💀🖕🏻

This is not an easy video to post. I was let go from Turning Point USA, and while I’m grateful for the opportunities I had, I can’t ignore what I witnessed. Especially how employees are treated and the direction the organization is moving in. I’m not here to be bitter. I’m here to be honest. This video is the beginning of me telling the truth, as much as I legally can. I’m speaking up because I know I’m not the only one who’s felt this way and our First Amendment right matters, too.
English
@DataRepublican @ProfMJCleveland Yes, and, I always find "cheap shots" wearisome, irrespective of the target. I don't take myself so seriously that I cannot endure a creative jab. But stultifying ones like this OP are unbearable.

Guh. You know how much I respect you. And it’s hard to understand if you don’t interact with the Deaf community. But faces aren’t for conveying expressions. We have no voices. We channel our “accent” energy elsewhere.
The more “Deaf” a person is, the more they rely on face expressions to communicate grammar and the less they rely on hand motions. If you look at my videos, I use a lot more hand motions and a lot less face expressions because I learned sign later in life.
But a really Deaf person uses whole body motion including face and body because they think in terms of visual 3D space rather than “language” as a sequence of “words.” And this is the result. The reason interpreters are heading down this path is because, ironically, real-time captioning is reducing the need for those who understand English well and pushing the need for interpreters towards those who are linguistically deprived. And many many of those “linguistically deprived” Deaf do exist as a result of not hearing the million words per year that hearing babies get. They don’t miss all that and then magically learn to read at age 5. They just don’t.
Long story short, the interpreter is being accurate by a very “Deaf” standard which involves full-body spatial movement of which everyone should expect more for the above reasons.
English
@LilaGraceRose Yes! I’m 32 years in. In 1993 I asked: “Can you commit to learning to fall in love with me each day of our lives? Because this is my promise to you.” This commitment carries us through the ups & downs. I’m crazier about her in all ways now than when she was 19.
