@RockChartrand Most states already tax the wealth of the middle class via property taxes on our homes. Why shouldn't the ultra rich have to pay taxes on their wealth like we do?

Notice the sleight of hand. First it’s “the rich don’t pay most taxes.” Then when shown top earners already do, the argument shifts to “wealth isn’t income.” Exactly. Which means the debate was never really about income. It was about whether the state is entitled to seize accumulated property itself. Owning stock, businesses, or assets is not the same as receiving cash income. But many people no longer treat property as genuinely private. They treat it as public wealth temporarily held by individuals until politicians decide otherwise.

@angijones How do you get pronouns when when talking to someone? When you talk to them you are either using their name or calling them "you," which is gender neutral. You can only get pronouns wrong when taking about someone.

My kids got their school photos back. One girl in my son’s class looks like your typical “non-binary” kid and has a boys name, so I asked my son if they were “trans.” He replied “I don’t know. I don’t talk to her at all in case I get in trouble for getting her pronouns wrong” No wonder trans identifying teens have high rates of suicidal ideation when other kids won’t even speak to them, not because they are mean, but because of the rules and traps the stupid ideology itself sets.

@DiogenesOfTron That would be cool, but it can't happen. Kentucky has a "sore loser" law. If you lose your primary your name cannot appear on the ballot as independent or any other party.

@kenbone18 I have hope in my heart x.com/DiogenesOfTron…

Looks like Benjamin Netanyahu just beat Thomas Massie in his primary.

@HeyRaChaCha @havethelastward Sure, why not

@havethelastward He and @kenbone18 should host a talk show!

To get a sense for how far reaching Dave from Marblehead’s message has become, a politically disengaged friend sent me this clip with great enthusiasm. This friend lives in Sydney, Australia.

@Rudygalan @MensHumor So retail establishments and fast food places should only be open after school and on the weekends, right? Since working there is for kids.

@MensHumor Those are jobs for kids. How have you not built skills as an adult to do anything more? That’s crazy.

Y'all got thoughts on this??

@brexodus1671 @latestinspace Because space is really, really, really big and does not have many rocks in it.

🚨 Voyager 1 now only has two instruments still operating • One that listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields — the rest have been turned off to conserve power • It's been flying through space for almost 49 years • It's expected to reach a full light-day away around November 2026 — roughly 16B miles away

@aakashgupta Anyone can feel free to test the theory behind this. Jump off a diving board into a pool. Then think about how well it would work if the pool was empty.

NASA landed an 8.5-ton capsule in the Pacific at 17 mph on Friday and four astronauts walked out of it. If they had aimed for a field, those astronauts would be dead. Water doesn't cushion the capsule. It displaces. When Orion hit the ocean, it punched a hole in the surface and transferred its kinetic energy into shoving tens of thousands of pounds of water sideways. The deceleration happened over several feet of penetration, not a single crushing instant. Metal hitting concrete absorbs impact by crushing itself. Water absorbs impact by flowing aside. That's the entire physics of splashdown. Every American crewed capsule since 1961 has landed in water. Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Dragon, Orion. The Russians chose differently, and the reason comes down to geography. Soviet launch sites sit in Kazakhstan. Their navy was never set up for open-water recovery during the Cold War. What they had was steppe: millions of square miles of unpopulated grassland. So they built a capsule that lands on dirt. To make dirt landings survivable, Soyuz carries soft-landing retrorockets that fire roughly a meter above the ground. A pair of altimeters triggers them in the final moments. The rockets add weight, add failure points, and still leave the landing feeling like a car crash. Cosmonauts wear custom-molded seat liners to survive the G-loads. Orion skipped every bit of that. The ocean is the retrorocket. It's always there. It requires no precision. The Artemis II recovery zone off San Diego was roughly a thousand square miles of open water. Miss the target by 20 miles and you're still inside it. NASA actually considered switching Orion to a land landing. The original Constellation plan used giant airbags to cushion a ground impact. They ran the numbers against splashdown and switched back. The ocean does for free what three layers of engineered hardware do expensively. Water is enormous and willing to move. That's what brought them home.

@arash_expat @martinmbauer The entire Artemis program from inception through several planned landings has a budget of less than what we've spent on the stupid Iran war already.

@martinmbauer Is humanity actually trying to expand outward, or just running another large scale narrative to justify spending? I have my money on the latter. Puppeteers at work again.

Humans going to the Moon isn’t just another spacetrip, and it isn't made trivial by todays technology just because a group of absolute madmen managed to pull it off with calculators in the 1960s and 70s It is the farthest distance humans have ever traveled. Because the Moon looks large in the sky, many people underestimate how far away it really is. The Moon is about 1000 times further from Earth than the International Space Station. Artemis II will take 10 days, with astronauts traveling at thousands of miles per hour through deep space only to slam back into Earth’s atmosphere going 25000 mph relying on a heat shield to survive. There’s something both inspiring and reassuring about the fact that humans are willing to take that kind of risk and to come back home to tell us what they experienced

@not_alive_irl Lots, but all from my wife.

@kenbone18 brother i was just wondering how much pussy you got off being on the TV. would you weigh in

Jack Hughes on his way to the closing ceremony with his new wooden teeth.

@glassesjournal @LUvvUcy I'm glad you're alive.

@LUvvUcy some days i'm happy about it, some days i wish i was better off not here anymore, it kind of depends on the situation!!

@glassesjournal @djo_reddjo This is my favorite connect the dots puzzle ever

happy international women's day! 💞 art by: @djo_reddjo #glassesjournal | #glassesdoodles

@RayNarvaezJr @TinaNarvaezJr Congratulations to both of you! Getting married was the smartest thing I ever did. I bet you feel the same way.

12 years together 6 years married Happy anniversary to my best friend, my soulmate, my wife, my everything @TinaNarvaezJr ❤️

@AlbertoBarrera @JerryBenthy @HashtagGriswold @daveweigel Don't act like you know me. I went once as a sales guy on the show floor. I also went to several left wing events for the same reason. Trump sucks and always had.

@JerryBenthy @HashtagGriswold @daveweigel @kenbone18 He goes to CPAC, he was never undecided

Rest in power @kenbone18

@NeverWithers @HashtagGriswold Turns out that even after martyrdom I'm still too out of shape for 72 women.

@kenbone18 @HashtagGriswold How are you typing and ignoring your 72 virgins?

@JoeVorell @HashtagGriswold Seems like it. Still, it was kind of out of left field.

@kenbone18 @HashtagGriswold is this a buddy using AI as a joke?

@Incincerator @HashtagGriswold @exjon Dude. He's just making a joke about how that guy looked like me.

@HashtagGriswold @exjon @kenbone18 Rest in Power?? Fkc U. Do you want the mass murderers to have nuclear weapons which can be directed our way. Democrats are stuoid at best. Evil is more like it.

@yadifan04 Cry more

God damn, he's insufferable

@Kash_Patel I heard your favorite team is the Predators. I bet you'd do anything to support and protect every Predator out there.

For the very concerned media - yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys- Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth. 👊🏼🏒🇺🇸
