They have Japan and Mexico in the top five but no Ireland? No Sweden?

Ireland should be #1 with a huge distance from everybody else.

They also have the number of children growing up without a father (even before the war) that are so high they make African American rates blush. Teenage overdose rates that are really out there. People who compare America negatively to Russia on absolutely any metric are either liars or congenital morons.

The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release. The deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle… pic.twitter.com/0bZDABIDGj

Everybody over the age of 40 looks terrible from this angle. Trump is almost 80, and actually looks very good for his age. Why it’s cute to select purposefully ugly photos, I don’t know.

These infantile digs are very pathetic especially when the achievement under discussion is so impressive.

It’s scary that so many people don’t care about issues and only care to score wins for their imaginary team.

So the hostages did get released. Wow, this is an extraordinary win for the Trump administration.

I’m almost tempted to watch CNN to see how they are explaining Trump achieving the ceasefire they seemed to passionately desire.

I want it known that Eve Jobs, the daughter of Steve Jobs, the most thirsted after woman on Twitter has:

– $1200 hair cut and color (Margot Robbies stylist around this)
– $1500 worth of makeup
– $1000 nails
– $1200 facials/skincare
– $120 eyebrow waxing
– $700 lip filler (done subtly if she has any, most affluent women have)
– $10,000 clothing
-$5-10k health and fitness

After this litany of expenses, I thought the woman had to be sixty years old, at least. Turns out she’s 27. At 27, and honestly when at 47, nobody needs to put in so much money.

This exchange happened in response to a tweet pointing out a regular woman’s beauty costs:

Men want to be seen with hot women but she costs this much every so often and meanwhile he’s calling her a gold digger over a $25 lunch and whole time he’s in her DMs making cringe worthy overly sexual declarations

– nails $100
– clothes $600
– hair $350
– spray tan $85
– shoes…

Nails, OK, but everything else, I don’t know. Even my hair doesn’t cost anything close to $350, and I have a lot of it. Clothes, if it’s her entire wardrobe, fine, so I hope it’s not one outfit that the poster means.

It doesn’t cost that much to look pretty unless you are in your sixties and going for a young woman look.

I never use AI translation for YouTube videos. Never turned it on. I watch everything in the original language, whatever it is.

Yesterday, I decided to watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with Sam Altman. No matter what device I use to access the video, it plays in Russian. I switch it off but whenever I pause, the Russian translation comes back on. It sounds funny because Russian words are longer, so everything gets accelerated to fit in the Russian voiceover.

AI knows.

Old people have been protesting for months in front of the library in my town, yet it never occurred to any of them to do a funny and get naked. Look how creative the Portland protesters are:

Hundreds of naked bike riders have now joined the protest in front of the ICE Facility and now there’s a massive turnout of people here. Portland PD has issued multiple warnings asking protesters to clear the road or they would be subject to arrest and crowd control munitions… pic.twitter.com/0X23GzyZ1i

It’s raining, too! This is what I call true dedication to the bit.

I’ve seen a lot of mean jokes about them on social media but I find these goofballs to be endearing and very American in their absolute lunacy. 

Numbers that, standing alone, you likely immediately recognize the significance of:

1984
007
666
13/54
69
33 1/3
3.14159

Any others?

I’m blanking on 33 1/3. Does it mean anything beyond the obvious?

The Hurleys owed nearly $38,000 – close to a quarter of their income – in medical costs after the delivery and NICU stays of their twins, despite having private insurance.

A terrible story.

Who do you think pays these costs for illegal migrants? They give birth in the same way, experience complications in the same way, have all sorts of medical conditions. Who pays? The five million (by the most conservative count) brought in by Joe Biden—who is paying for their healthcare?

Adult people who listen and nod when the TV tells them that there’s no free healthcare for migrants should be ashamed of their gullibility.

Open borders and welfare do not coexist. It’s not a possibility. Infinity migration always means crime, trash everywhere, slumification of many neighborhoods, rising traffic mortality, endless waits in emergency rooms, proliferation of scams and harassment, and absence of the institutions of state who should do something about all this. Because the nation-state is the only form of state that cares about this stuff. The post-nation state only cares to send police to shut you up when you complain about it.

There’s a couple at work who have been living together for many years. In his absence, she refers to him as “my husband.” He refers to her as “my girlfriend.”

I always wonder if they know this about each other.
