People trying to recline on airplanes: Sorry about the person in your way

Dear Young People, I’m sorry you can’t afford anything. Your grandparents thought it was a great idea to borrow trillions from your generation to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

Younger people might not know this, but before social media, we didn't have to listen to crazy people. At all.

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

MacKenzie Scott’s $26 billion giving sprint in seven years, including a record $7.2 billion last year, makes her the third-biggest philanthropist of all-time. She gave more in 2025 than Musk, Page, Ellison and her ex-husband Bezos have in their lifetimes combined.

Replying to @acnewsitics
Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines.

This is coined, "Theme Park Urbanism", where vacation destinations, like Disney World, provide the average American with a walkable environment they can only associate with vacation, and never with their own neighborhood.
Americans excel at walkable, mixed-use development when they’re designing ski resorts.

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
