@Therealedblake @DoctorFishbones Ouch. Guess the truth hurts

@mjogurl @DoctorFishbones Fuck off

My daughter is attending college this fall and I almost threw up when she told me how much she has to take out in student loans

@Antunes1 Did the lady in the white top curtsy to him?

🚨 Trump just walked out at the UFC They turned the music all the way up to hide the boos, you can still hear them 😂

@Therealedblake @DoctorFishbones If you wanted them to have a decent start, you should have saved for their education. You created this crushing problem.

@DoctorFishbones Yeah it’s depressing. You just want to get your kid off to a decent start in life and they instantly get crushed by debt

@DoctorFishbones @AutonomousJonus Then maybe you should have been a better parent and saved for her education. She has you to thank for her predicament.

@AutonomousJonus I think it's fucking ridiculous that we financially punish kids who are working hard to make themselves better. I want to make sure your loans are written off and you owe nothing.

@anishmoonka You don't become an astronaut for the money.

Your odds of getting into Harvard are about 50 times better than your odds of becoming a NASA astronaut. In 2020, 12,000 people applied to be astronauts. NASA picked 10. A 0.08% acceptance rate. Harvard, the school everyone treats as shorthand for "impossible to get into," accepts about 4% of applicants. And you can't even apply without a master's degree in science or engineering, three years of work experience after that degree, and U.S. citizenship. A bachelor's won't cut it, period. NASA raised the minimum from bachelor's to master's in 2020, and that one change locked out thousands of people who would've been eligible the year before. The people who actually get picked are way beyond even those minimums. Average age at selection is 34. Most hold a PhD or medical degree on top of their master's. If you went the pilot route instead of the science route, you need 1,000 hours flying jets as the lead pilot, which is about two full years of flight time. Get selected and you're still not an astronaut yet. Two years of training come next: military water survival, SCUBA certification, learning Russian, and a swimming test you take in a full flight suit and shoes. Not everyone passes. I looked up the salary expecting it to match the difficulty. It does and it doesn't. Astronauts make $152,258 a year. But a fresh college grad at SpaceX with just a four-year degree starts at $95,000 to $115,000. NASA starts that same engineer at $54,557. If you spent eight-plus years earning a PhD, your NASA starting salary tops out at $73,038. A 22-year-old out of college at SpaceX earns more than a 30-year-old with a doctorate at NASA. In 65 years of spaceflight, NASA has selected a total of 370 astronaut candidates. More people have stood on top of Mount Everest than have ever worn a NASA flight suit.

@Chesschick01 I don’t think they do it for the money.

We need to triple NASA’s budget, because this is insane. They should at least get overtime. wtf? Directors at learing centers get paid more!

@thegymslam Bet she didn’t need a 30 on her ACT to get admitted.

getting school paid for and can’t use basic grammar

@Matt_Pinner Knee replacement

Name a pain stronger than a toothache (except childbirth)

@BrittanyinTexas Yes, but she won't.

Kai Trump getting bashed for bringing her phone on the golf course at The Masters, where spectators are required to follow strict no-phones rules. She could facing a life-time ban from Augusta National. Rules never apply to the Trumps.😑

@esanzi I take my shoes off every time I go into someone’s home. It’s called being respectful. You should try it sometime

Hosting an event or a party at your home and requiring that guests remove their shoes when they arrive is rude. And weird. And reveals an irrational concern over dirt and germs. If you insist on doing this, make sure the invitation includes a warning!

@HustleBitch_ I had two c sections. And am not “wrecked”. She’s got other issues clearly.

🚨 DREW BARRYMORE SAYS SHE’S “SO WRECKED DOWN THERE” AFTER TWO C-SECTIONS — AND THE INTERNET CAN’T BELIEVE SHE SAID THIS ON CAMERA Actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore tearfully says her body is so messed up after childbirth that she physically can’t wear certain pants anymore. Walking down the street with her daughter… shirt riding up, jacket won’t close… panicking that people might see what she calls the damage. “I didn’t want anyone to see this.” No PR polish. No “bounce back” lie. Simply a raw admission that pregnancy can permanently change your body, and not in the way Instagram sells it. She says things don’t go back. Not your body. Not how you feel in it. The internet is already going off: • “Finally someone said it out loud.” • “This is WAY too much info…” • “Men have no idea what women go through.” • “Why would she even say this on TV??” • “This just made me feel seen.” Did she just expose the reality no one wants to talk about… or should this have stayed private?

@MLSMoves My window for buying LA 28 Olympic tickets just opened. So many events already gone. I'd go to track and field, but the prices are astronomical. Not to mention you don't even get to see what section and row you'd be in. They price normal Americans right out of these events.

When the 2026 World Cup was announced for the United States back in 2018, I told myself there was no way I’d miss it. I was going to be there in person, experiencing a World Cup on home soil and I know so many of you felt the exact same way. Fast forward to now, and the ticket prices are completely astronomical. Outrageously unaffordable. What was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime has been priced out of reach for regular fans like me. I’m going to miss watching my country host the biggest event in sports… something I may never get to experience again in my lifetime. Yes, they’re going to make money off this massive event on U.S. soil. But the greed has gone too far. It’s ruining the beautiful game and turning it into something only the wealthy can enjoy. A World Cup should be for everyone not just those who can drop thousands without blinking. This is an absolute shame.

My window opened up today for LA Olympic tickets. How is the normal person supposed to attend? The prices are ridiculous. And you can't even see where you're seats would be located...no section number, no row number. Pricing out the normal Americans is the American way.

@TOM_RIZZ0 Sick of this guy showing up everywhere and being an idiot.

@DgafKITTY @patcheszzz @MarriottBonvoy This is exactly why we didn’t book a block for my daughter’s wedding. Says right in the contract rooms can be cancelled. Wasn’t going to take that chance.

@patcheszzz @MarriottBonvoy If you are part of a group booking and the group organizer cancels the block or you fail to meet specific group-defined deadlines, your individual room may be released. So, did you meet the terms of your room block? The minimum number of rooms? The pre-pay requirement?

Love that @MarriottBonvoy cancelled a full block of wedding hotel rooms that we’ve had booked for 4 months, 2 days before the guests arrive and their best offer is a hotel an hour away. Great brand!!

@JustTheTweets17 This is what you wanted. Don’t pretend you didn’t.

He is insane. I am as MAGA as they get. I was a Front Row Joe, 42 rallies, walked the halls of congress 3 times for Trump, became a state delegate, then a national delegate ALL TO SUPPORT TRUMP. He has absolutely lost me, in fact I'm eyeing the 25th amendment for him because he's lost his damn mind.

@saltysquidswife Never

My youngest, who is a 19-yo college freshman, is really bummed that I didn't put together an Easter basket for him. At what age is it okay for me to stop? 😂

@loonlake55 My mom popped her own popcorn which we took in paper bags to my brother’s football games.

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@BishopBarron Calling Pope Leo….

Grateful to have been invited to the White House this afternoon for a luncheon with religious leaders, where I offered an Easter prayer. Even in the halls of power, the hope of the Resurrection is proclaimed.

@BossRVA @BreRVA Should have gotten a better degree I guess. Poor you.

@BreRVA It’s so wild. I ended up with a tuition full ride so my loans are all just the cost of room and board. Plus my parents paid about $5K/year. I’ve paid off about half the loans I took out. For a degree I barely use.
