@RealRogueDriver @Marcus___007 @lsferguson She’s 22? Must be a typo. That’s not a kid - 12 is a kid. My high school age kids were flying overseas alone for their international exchange programs. They could handle the inevitable changes without needing help from me. Is she special needs?

I wish you could be the pilot that flies my kid to Seattle in June. You are totally chill just the pilot she needs lol She’s flying to visit her boyfriend again. The first flight was a nightmare for her (22 years old flying across country alone) ! I ended up driving to Philadelphia to get her instead of the airport she left from 15 minutes from home because they changed her return flight and put her on a 6 hour layover at OHARE! We both said HELL NO She was able to get off that flight and take an overnight direct from Seattle to Philly! Me…. I’m terrified of flying and being on bridges🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ if I can’t drive there chances are I’m not gonna be going!!🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

So I boarded my flight Went straight to my window seat and settled in Spoke with the guy next to me, chatted about the destination & the flight ahead No one asked me to change seats, which was nice It was absolute carnage behind me though But don't care Love being a pilot

@TamashiiLuck @utter_deckhead My daughter came home from kindergarten one day, talking about a boy in her class who loved to play only with the girls and model their dress-up clothes, and she solemnly announced to me, “I think Julio is a girl in a boy body.” Age 5

@utter_deckhead Tbh i think figuring out your son is gay at FIVE years old is super dope. If i have a gay kid knowing at 5 would be super dope

When I was 5 years old my dad had a Tom Cruise movie on the TV and in the middle of an action sequence (I don't remember it) I said "Daddy, when that man does exciting things my willy gets hard" and he just sat in silence for the rest of the movie

@mehmet_gur43165 @vildanakpolatt Thank you for being such a fine teacher

@vildanakpolatt Okul öncesi öğretmeniyim. 5 yaşında öğrencimde çıktı. Koluna bir cihaz takılı. Telefona anlık olarak şekerinin kaç olduğunu gönderiyor. Sürekli takip ediyorum. Dikkat etmeye çalışıyorum. Onun için inanılmaz zor. Hayatı boyunca bununla yaşayacağını bilmek her seferinde yaralıyor

Dün sınavda 10 yaşında bir öğrencim “Hocam tuvalete gidebilir miyim?” dedi. Koridorda sessizce “Şeker hastasıyım, ölçmem lazım” diye fısıldadı. Birlikte gittik. Şekerini ölçtü ve sonra “Su bulur musunuz hocam?” dedi. “Şekerin mi yüksek?” diye sordum, “Yok hocam, düştü” dedi.

@Ifedayofumi @vildanakpolatt Sometimes a virus or infection gets into the pancreas or liver and permanently disrupts normal insulin production. Can happen at any age

@vildanakpolatt What causes diabetes in children? Aside genetics ?

@EmekaIbemeka @vildanakpolatt Are you serious? Type 1 diabetes (also known as as juvenile diabetes in the young) is an autoimmune disease of the pancreas. We actually NEED sugar to live

@vildanakpolatt How does a 10 year old have any form of sugar issues at that age? It's umbelievable!

@MarkWarner As a fellow Type 1 and longtime fan of your tireless dedication to our Nation, my heart truly aches for you. This is a hard disease. Please do what you can to enact S,3105, the ISLET Act, to help all T1s who yearn for a cure. Bless you always.

As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we’ve received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words. Maddy was a deeply empathetic and engaged person. Even as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions for me – especially how I could improve my social media to make a difference. She used to say to me: “Dad, you have the power – you have to use it.” She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways. If I can find any solace during this time, it’s that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy’s name. I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work.

@MalcolmNance Scary rapid this just happened

Wow. Iranian Lego diss track team is FAST.

@tapk765 @acottagemouse Add the Jell-o, instant puddings and box of shake-n-bake and that’s mine

gramma's cupboard/ fridge/ stove top: mayo, miracle whip, cheese squares, hot dogs, saltines, white bread, canned coffee grounds, ice berg lettuce, tomatoes, dill pickles, bacon grease, bologna, eggs, whole milk, canned soups & vegetables- (campbell's i think), butter sticks, sugar, salt, pepper.

“Cook like your grandma!” Meanwhile, our grandma’s recipes are like: Mix crisco with ritz crackers, a cup of sugar, & a few drops of food coloring, then bake in a jello mold with processed cheese product. Top with mayonnaise or miracle whip, for the health conscious

@fesshole Wow. Happened to me once, lasted 3 years and then got promoted. Manager never did figure it out

In the time before LinkedIn or job profiles with photos, it became clear that I was mistakenly hired for a job over someone with a similar name. My manager and I agreed to keep it quiet to save any embarrassment. Ended up staying there 8 years and replacing that manager.

@PeersJulie45689 @Her_Nonymous_D Your response is a lie in itself. It’s an old myth that diabetics can’t have sweet things. Predates the use of modern insulin. Please stop - 2 wrongs don’t make a right

@Her_Nonymous_D I would have lied and said my kid is a diabetic and can’t have sweet things .

My daughter (3yo) and I were walking through an aisle when an older man approached us. He was smiling and seemed friendly enough at first. Without much conversation, he pulled out a lollipop and tried to offer it directly to her. Before my toddler could even react, I calmly said, “No, thank you.” My daughter also declined immediately, which honestly made me feel a little proud in the moment. She’s learning to respond the same way I do. But instead of accepting that, he kept going. He leaned in again, still trying to hand it to her, speaking to her directly like I hadn’t just said “No” politely. It wasn’t aggressive, but it also wasn’t respectful of the boundary that had already been set. So I stepped in more firmly. I took the lollipop from his hand, repeated, “No, thank you,” and placed it on a nearby counter. I didn’t raise my voice, I didn’t make a scene, I just made it very clear that the answer wasn’t changing. And that’s when the tone shifted. He said I was…

@Mike_writer @wethefifth There is a reason for the old phrase “June bride.” About one-third of the girls in my middle class high school were married the June after graduation. They were 17 or 18 years old. Very common

@wethefifth 17 used to be a fairly normal age for marriage. Young, but not weird.

Pop star Ricky Nelson married Mark Harmon's sister Kris at the top of his fame and at the bottom of her... age.

@txsalth2o Same at Stanford. We called it “the bins.” So much Nike & North Face gear

In Harvard student housing there are known areas where kids just leave stuff they don’t want. My brother frequented these areas daily, and scored thinks like Canada Goose Jackets, Hunter Boots good furniture- the best find was jars of money- including bills. Often around $100 in coins, ones and fives they couldn’t be bothered with.

@MollyJongFast Thou shalt have no snakes on thy plane

I was sure it wasn’t real but guess what ….

J.D.Vance is being put in the woodchopper by President Trump The Iran talks went on for a very long time. But the U.S. was never going to accept continued uranium enrichment and a pathway to a nuclear bomb. So there was always a ceiling on those negotiations. Now — the attack on the Pope. People are missing the Vance dimension entirely. Vance converted to Catholicism. I’m a practicing Catholic myself. The Pope is not just a religious figure — he’s a political signal for 80 million American Catholics. Trump attacking the Pope is also a slight on J.D. Vance. Deliberate or not — that’s what it is. And here’s the pattern you need to understand: Trump puts everybody in the woodchipper before it’s over. The podcast hosts who supported him. The people inside the administration. The people closest to him. Nobody is safe. Nobody has ever been safe. It’s not personal. It’s just who he is. Vance is feeling it now. He won’t be the last.

@JesterJum District of Columbia residents (all ages) have entered the chat

The voting age is 18...right? So why are we taxing 15-17 year olds that work?? Isn't that the very definition of "taxation without representation"???

@jlilb68 @rousinar I doubt you are 6’ tall, like me, and purchased the seat precisely because of legroom for the 10-hour flight. Not everyone can be you

@rousinar I would have switched seats. Yes I paid for it but it's nice to be kind. Why stew in your self-righteous juices? And sitting 10 hours next to a toddler? Worth the switch.

@MalcolmNance @TMobile AT&T has never given me any problems internationally

Guys. I’m going to close my @TMobile account after 25 years because they has added a new policy that if you use your number for travel and it’s uses excessive data roaming EVEN if you paid $50 Extra dollars per month for extra International data roaming. They turn off your ability to use data. Question: What company am I switching to? Who has the best international travel data plans in the USA? I’m leaving them behind. Their customer service was like “Too bad. We don’t care.”

@Lilida2000 @KeruboSk Finally! Same, except no orange slices. Takes almost no time when it’s a regular habit - maybe 5 minutes prep. I cook up all the bacon package on a weekend, refrigerate the cooked pieces, and parcel one out daily with my egg & toast until it’s time for more. Am active & thin

@KeruboSk We have eggs, bacon, buttered toast with jam, and a bowl of blueberries, strawberries, mandarin orange slices, every day except Saturday. Then we’ll add grits and cinnamon rolls. Sometimes we’ll switch rolls out for waffles or pancakes.

Can y’all be honest: what do you actually eat for breakfast? Because some people really think we’re out here having pancakes, French toast, waffles with syrup, hashbrowns, eggs, toast, bacon and sausage… every single day.

@Microinteracti1 Similar thing happened in a conversation with our long-time friend (engineer) about the national debt & the deficit. We said we worried the Prez would bankrupt the US like he did with his casinos. Friend paused, then said “I never heard that he went bankrupt”

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that. Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived. This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you. The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction. This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third. Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything. A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.” That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid. The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical. That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@JoJoFromJerz Or signaling an atomic strike. Buckle up

He’s out of his motherfucking mind.
