Another point about our cultural decline. We started watching the show Widow’s Bay. It’s really good. Fantastic writing. Perfect blend of comedy and horror. Last night’s episode was legitimately one of the finest episodes of television I’ve seen in years. If this same exact show came out in 2002, we’d probably remember it as an all time classic. But in 2026 most people haven’t even heard of it. It’s a blip on the radar. Another piece of content in the endless sea. You see it, or you don’t, and then it’s forgotten. It’s not that good stuff isn’t made anymore. It’s that even when good stuff is made, we don’t have any shared experience of it. There’s plenty of good music you can find on Spotify, recent stuff, but you experience it in your little algorithmic silo. Almost nothing breaks containment to become a bonafide cultural phenomenon. That’s what made Project Hail Mary so unique. Severance maybe also achieved escape velocity. But even in those cases the escape is fleeting. For the most part we experience the culture through the narrow pathway constructed for us by the algorithm. It might intersect with other people’s pathways, but only briefly. When we feel nostalgia for the Before Times, this is why. It’s not simply that we had a “better” culture back in the 90s or whenever. It’s that we had a culture at all.

@Lunassnacks @jezzytgl @glenn_tunes Cause go look at his Truth posts, this looks exactly like what his post daily….

@jezzytgl @glenn_tunes I should be asking why liberals believe literally whatever their phone tells them too? Because they are brainwashed. Now go worry about your own country.

25TH AMENDMENT NOW ✊✊✊

@AppleTV 🙌 Such an amazing episode

The life of the party has arrived. #WidowsBay — New Episode Now Streaming

@ann_ashton93 @AppleTV

@AppleTV Not THAT end credits song after THAT ending scene. Bruh. 😦😂

Cet épisode de Widow’s Bay me marquera encore longtemps.

@DazScreen lol when cop is like Patricia what are you doing, all serious. Such an amazing twist! Loved the open mouths as the camera panned through the dance party and mirror. So good

Widow’s Bay finally clicked for me with Episode 4. Patricia’s cursed book spiral was creepy, sad, and weirdly funny, and Kate O’Flynn crushed it. Bryce’s death felt a bit tacked on, but I’m definitely recommending this now. #WidowsBay What did you think?

@FlicksandChill 💯

The Reverend was probably the only person who truly know what was happening in that town… and now he’s dead 🫣 Widow’s Bay is getting seriously unsettling. Easily one of the best shows of the year so far. #widowsbay #appletv

@seriadator Just watched, holy shit that was an awesome twist. Loved how they sneakily had the open mouths in panning shots!

o quarto episódio de widow’s bay é facilmente um dos melhores do ano, sério… engraçado, triste e assustador! to cada vez mais fascinado pela série

@DrAMPhD @thehealthb0t The Wait Times🤦‍♂️ Like we don’t have wait times here in America? Any specialist is months out and ERs in major cities are hours. Don’t get started on all our “out of network” bullshit. Our premiums and cost of care is more than the tax and cost of care other countries have to pay.

@thehealthb0t Only in America.

An American goes to the ER for high blood pressure. He’s there less than TWO hours. No surgery. No scans. The bill comes back at $41,297 — even AFTER he’s paid his FULL out-of-pocket max. This isn’t healthcare — it’s extortion

Can’t believe @SUBWAY footlong combo meal costs $20.48. No wonder I never go there. #5dollarfootlong youtu.be/MJF3mknSTlo?si…

@themajorpayne @TizzyEnt Sounds like most the party. Hell half of Trumps cabinet are inexperienced Fox News faces.

@TizzyEnt And he's my fucking Representative in Congress. He's a fucking idiot and frankly way too inexperienced for the job on top of the fact that he's a fucking idiot. Did I say he was a fucking idiot? Well, he is a fucking idiot. Frankly, you can't say it enough.

If I had a dollar for every time one of these chuds posted something to own the libs and ended up just telling on themselves I swear to god. Rule of law and science a bridge too far? That tracks

@suddenxfear Studio 54 in the 70’s what a time to be alive…

@I_Choose_Wisdom @drew_dussault @JamieBonkiewicz Yes they’ve been inciting for decades, Trump was the only president dumb enough to actually do it. Well if he didn’t start this war gas would be fine, but what’s 1.98x2? We’re at 4.29 in WI right now, and honestly that’s about where we got at its peak in ‘22 maybe .40 more cents

@drew_dussault @JamieBonkiewicz The first two are not true. Iran has been inciting a response for decades. What we are seeing is their finding out phase. Gas prices are up but they haven't come anywhere close to doubling and they are still lower on an inflation adjusted basis than other peaks in the past.

So if Kamala Harris had started a war with Iran, gas prices doubled, and then asked taxpayers for $1 billion for a tacky gold ballroom, MAGA would’ve totally been normal and reasonable about it, right?

@ranveerweston @coloradan29 @FurkanGozukara @ramzpaul 2 out of ≈1600 ships which equates to 20,000 seafarers stranded low on food and fuel.

@coloradan29 @FurkanGozukara @ramzpaul 2 out of hundreds. Think about that.

Absolute bombshell. Expert Brandon Weichert confirms top US Navy commanders are actively resisting orders from the Trump administration. They refuse to enter the Strait of Hormuz because Iran brilliantly destroyed their primary refueling base. Washington is totally paralyzed.

@RossDavidson7 @ForecasterEnten Ours? We’re never gonna step foot in there or get invited to an event…😂🤦‍♂️

@ForecasterEnten Which is preposterous, because it's not "Trump's ballroom," it is OUR ballroom. Trump wants to upgrade OUR Executive building, for safety and events, and retards are acting like Trump is gonna live there forever. I would like my capitol to have grand, beautiful buildings.

Trump's ballroom is very unpopular: More people believe in ghosts (39%) & telepathy (29%) than support it (28%). The ballroom is such a political problem as it reinforces for Americans that Trump has the wrong priorities (67%) & they disapprove of him on govt. spending (67%).

Have you ever finished a book and immediately thought, “Yep, I need to read everything this author has ever written”?

@JohnEat42894035 @Suzierizzo1

@Suzierizzo1 The face of bad management!

The CEO of Spirit Airlines Dave Davis is calling Trump out for his lies about why they had to stop operations and he said it happened because of the sudden and sustained price of jet fuel which has doubled since Trump started this War with Iran.
