Studied economics so will have an opinion on everything. Owned a gym for a while and now wandering looking for dry land.
Well we know it’s not CSAM as that seems to not damage anyone’s career in 2026.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...
A Day for Gaza
Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Instead of bringing down costs, Trump and his Big, Beautiful Bill added over $3 trillion to the debt for a billionaire tax giveaway.

Now, Dr. Oz says you should pay off Trump’s debt bomb instead of retiring after working hard your whole life.

This is dystopian.
Dr. Oz suggests Americans should retire later to help pay down the national debt

Remember there when Pearse Doherty was furious at the idea of Ireland supporting Ukraine.
Russia has launched its biggest missile and drone attack on Ukraine so far this year, Ukrainian authorities say.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said energy facilities in at least six regions were targeted, with four people injured in strikes on Kyiv.

this is what really killed the place even before the nazis fully took over

the Venn diagram of “people willing to pay for Twitter so their replies are boosted” and “people capable of making funny comments” is just two completely separate circles side by side
twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

lot of issues would have been avoid had Mr and Mrs Thiel got distracted that night
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
