This ought to be considered a memo for all of Twitter.

@sircalebhammer Demoralization.

The past 24 hours is exactly why we made this documentary. Young people are becoming more politically extreme at an alarming rate. Mostly driven by social media, the online echo chambers are extremely powerful and toxic. And sadly no one is getting the wake up call… yet.

@bprintco @noodlebrett It's a bit of insider knowledge here, but if you were a bit older with some actual income or assets at the time, they would have asked you to provide proof. I'm sure the sweet old woman just marked you down as $0 income rather than put you through those hoops. She's a real one.

@bprintco @noodlebrett Many large healthcare systems operate as non-profits. So even if it's not necessarily a tax write-off exactly, they can use these patient financial assistance programs to maintain tax exempt status and demonstrate community benefit.

When I was 19 I had to have an appendectomy and the hospital sent me a bill for $17k. I called the hospital billing and it was a sweet old lady that answered. I told her I didn’t understand why it was so much because I have health insurance. Turns out my insurance already covered $32k of it and I still owed $17k. I told her “I’m sorry, I’m only 19. I don’t have $17k” she says “okay don’t worry about it honey, I’ll take care of it” I never saw another bill and it never showed up on credit. She made it disappear.

@WomanDefiner I just don’t see how this helps their budgeting. He didn’t have to ruin the guys relationship. Just tell him he’s spending too much on the App Store.

I've been watching the newest episode of Financial Audit with Caleb Hammer and this guy has barely said anything halfway through and its because he knows his out of control spending on OF is about to be revealed to his girlfriend.

Alan Watts gives some of the most insightful thoughts on life and its worth watching 1000%

I watched cowboy bebop when I was around 8-10. Im 30 now. Re watching Cowboy Bebop as an adult hits different. When you’re younger, it’s easy to latch onto the cool fights, the jazz, Spike being effortlessly smooth. But coming back to it later, you start feeling the weight of the themes. Loneliness. Regret. People running from their past instead of healing it. Characters stuck in emotional orbit, unable to move on. Stuff that flew right over our heads as kids suddenly lands hard af. Honestly, I recommend any older anime fan do this. Revisit the shows you loved growing up. You dont just rewatch them, you re-contextualize them. Your life experience fills in the gaps the story always had waiting for you. Same anime. Different you. And somehow… its just better. Cowboy bebop is a 10/10. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I can immediately tell by the flavor of a post whether or not it's slop. Just taste the words. Can't you feel it from the texture alone? Gurgling, tepid slop. A tantalizing promise that looks full and bursting with realness, but immediately is revealed to be puffed up with air. There is the sense that something Very Important is trying to being conveyed, but if anything important is actually said, it's by complete accident. Maybe it's written by AI, maybe not. It's difficult to tell because everyone who writes like this does it in nearly the exact same manner. It takes them a paragraphs to explain one simple idea, because they have so very few ideas they need to stretch it out and try to get real mileage out of it. Because, ultimately, they don't care about ideas. They care about the image of themselves as someone who has ideas.

@JoelWBerry It's just this, in 2025.

Ok I’m old. Please someone explain why my kids keep saying “6-7.”

No.

@_Zeets Bleak.

Yeah, people are not smart enough or critical enough to live with technology like this. It’s cooking their brains and relationships.

Many judge their virtue by what they believe, not how they behave, so they feel righteous even while acting like beasts.

Turns out if you spend ten years equating emotional harm with the gravity of physical harm, people will get casual about physical harm. Who knew.

@avidseries When you fashion yourself as unconditionally good and your enemy unconditionally evil, anything becomes permissible. The left needs to take a long hard look at itself.

Gotta hand it to the authorities. At first I was mad when they scrubbed the Banksy, but they have unintentionally made one of the most powerful artworks of all time.

@malonebarry This goes so hard.

When you try to remove a piece of art and accidentally make it better.

@badgraphix @sullyj3 @JeremiahDJohns @Authw8 Themselves. This is the age of narcissism. Selfishness is a virtue, et al.

@sullyj3 @JeremiahDJohns @Authw8 I guess I'll be the one to raise the question then. If they don't have a primary partner but do have secondary partners, what are those partners secondary to?

Just saw a post about being 'solo poly' and I'm now unsure if words have meanings

Elder millennials are going to be the most politically engaged and relevant leadership cohort for the next 40 years. It’s because this pocket of millennials (1980-1987) remembers the before times vividly. Home ownership. Landlines. Car phones. Dial up internet. But also a hegemonic nation and normal American life before everything got weird. Younger generations didn’t experience it. And older generations took it for granted. They’ll dominate the left and the right for a simple reason: they remember.

@grok @GambleEveryday @dtu_whu @maxrushden Surely worth a laugh on the pod.

Sure, here's a fun thread comparing Graham Potter's West Ham tenure to Gaddafi's Libya rule: 1/ Initial promise: Gaddafi overthrew monarchy with visions of unity; Potter arrived post-Moyes with progressive tactics and youth focus. Both started with hope. 2/ Growing discontent: Gaddafi's authoritarianism sparked protests; Potter's leaky defense (8 goals in 2 games) and board ultimatums fuel fan frustration. 3/ Instability: Libya descended into civil war; West Ham risks relegation battles amid player rows (e.g., Bowen fallout). 4/ Potential end: Gaddafi ousted in 2011; Potter faces sack if results don't turn. History repeats? ⚽🇱🇾

@DefiantLs The term "unconditional love" exists. This woman even begins to list conditions as a reason a wife out to be first. Catastrophic levels of lack of self-awareness.

"Who comes first...your mom, your daughter, or your wife?"
