Amen. I left Twitter when my eyes opened to the rage the algorithm was feeding me. I’ve been a better person since, but I still see the manipulation taking place and the impact it has.

Whoever came up with the Classic Cailou videos can fuck right off. You’re teaching my kid and others that being a jerk is okay because it’s funny. You are causing more harm than good. If I had the expertise, I’d create a tapeworm to delete every copy on the Internet.

"My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning,& yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?"

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

“If we want better men, we have to be better men. Get involved in a young man’s life.” (Scott Galloway) 💯 and I’d say that’s true for all kids when parents get involved too.

To all the doomers and gloomers, those who have given in to an ineluctable cynicism - you’re wrong. Democracy still matters. Voting matters. Organizing matters. Speaking out matters. America is still the greatest country because we the people have the power to chart our own course. May we never quit

“America’s two great growth engines are rage and carbs — AI monetizes the former, the food complex the latter. GLP-1s may finally break the loop: shrinking our waistlines, cutting costs, and reminding us that progress isn’t digital, it’s biological.” 💯 Taking a GLP-1 has changed me for the better.
If we want to transform the economy — and the well-being of Americans — we should focus on GLP-1, not GPT-5.

I just know that we are all meant for so much more.
That’s what’s so frustrating. It’s knowing deep in your soul that this isn’t the way things are supposed to be. It was made this way. And just as it was made. It can be unmade.
