RT @JaneeBri_: Y’all laughing but this is deadass where the future is headed 😭

Do you remember when radio stations used to give away concert tickets and backstage passes? | just heard a midday radio giveaway, and now the prizes are groceries, a year of gas, or rent paid. It's a strange reminder that survival has become the prize. That's pretty sad.

RT @animalologist: She tries to grab the guy, and the one filming laughs and says “it’s assault.” Aight. These boys are so irony-poisoned…

Padres ownership proved this was because San Diego fans were treated poorly by the Spanos family If you treat fans well, attendance will show Padres have had top 3 attendance since 2021, and ranked the best playoff atmosphere in MLB Padres ownership proved Spanos was the issue

Since y’all being dumb I’ll explain it to you….. she consented to a threesome that turned into an unconsensual gang rape So stop faulting her for exercising her sexual freedom and start faulting the men who turned her sexual freedom into making her a victim of a horrific crime

So much as been written on The Cornell Seven, but always read @helenlewis: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

The rest of the text. She didn't know the snapchat existed atp yet, mind you. Which is why she didn't blame Ingalls & Newell at first, assuming they were too unaware & fucked up to shut it down. Meanwhile they were the organizers all along. Shame on TMZ for leaving out context

The man who sent “free p*ssy” to the group chat was on a pre-med track. He was going to be a doctor when he sees half the human race as glorified fleshlights. And if that single fact doesn’t highlight for you how violence against women becomes a systemic societal issue, I don’t know what to tell you.

If you wonder why every Gen Z guy is trying to be a YouTube streamer or attempting 1% lottery schemes (or worse, addicted to gambling), it’s because everyone is trying to escape the collapsing job market.

Heard it more than once from people we interviewed putting this story together: “this is America’s next opioid crisis.”

Elizabeth Holmes was culturally just slightly before her time. If the entire thing had gone down the exact same way but shifted up even five years she’d probably be free popular and pivoted selling a miracle brain juice or whatever

2001 America is more worth mourning than America 2026 is worth celebrating.

Obviously this is completely absurd, but it’s worth noting how the parents allow their child to walk unaccompanied for a very intentional reason, the complete opposite of neglect: to allow him the independence and small freedoms a child needs to develop confidence in his own competence (which safetyism stunts)

"Why are parents so neurotic about everything today? What's going to happen if you let your kids go out and play?" Buried lede in this title is that the woman has been placed on a *child abuse registry* for letting her 5-year-old walk a short distance within a gated community.

i really hope people realize that the bank of america vp woman was not a luigi magione thing and that she was basically just a slightly higher level employee who didn't deserve to get murdered for no reason

San Diegans: We want football back! NFL: You have football at home. The football at home:

gen z probably don't think people are trustworthy because we've lived in the society the scam

I don't think everyone is bi, but I *do* think bisexuality is actually the most common sexuality, it's just that most bisexual people don't recognise their attraction to the same sex for what it is.

"it's not my job to educate you" was the single most counterproductive phrase ever added to the progressive lexicon. If you are interested in changing peoples' opinions, it is 100% your job to educate other people. And it's a blessing! A joy! The work of being alive.

What’s going on in the NBA, MLB & other major sports is just a reflection of what’s happening throughout the rest of society, and most people aren’t even aware of it yet. Society has moved from an ownership economy to an access economy, and I don’t think people fully understand what that means for society. Look at what’s happening around us. People are increasingly renting homes instead of owning them. Sports teams are moving toward private equity and fractional ownership. Entertainment and software have become subscriptions. Cars are leased, financed and even adding subscription features. Music went from something you bought and owned to something you pay every month to access. Different industries, same trend. As valuable assets become more expensive, fewer individuals can afford to own them. Eventually ownership starts migrating toward corporations, private equity firms, investment funds and other institutions capable of pooling large amounts of capital. And when ownership changes, the incentive changes with it. An individual might own something because they love it. A family might own something because they want their children and grandchildren to have it. But an institution owns something because the numbers have to work. So everything becomes a financial optimization problem. How much revenue can we get out of this asset? What can we charge for that used to be included? What can become a subscription? What can be rented instead of sold? What else can we monetize? How much more value can we extract from the same customer? You can even see it in many cities. Beautiful land, open spaces, historic neighborhoods and locally owned businesses increasingly have to justify themselves against whatever produces the highest financial return. A field becomes a subdivision. A neighborhood becomes a development. A local business becomes a national chain. Eventually every city starts looking the same because everything is being optimized by the same spreadsheet. And that’s where the societal impact becomes much bigger than people realize. The danger is that we can become richer on paper while becoming poorer in all the things a spreadsheet doesn’t know how to measure. We’re in an economy where people have access to more things than any generation in history while actually owning fewer things. Meanwhile, the institutions receiving all of those payments are using that cash flow to accumulate even more assets. That’s why becoming an owner is going to be more important than ever. If you own valuable assets today, whether that’s a home, land, a business, equity or other productive assets, you need to think very carefully before giving them up. Obviously not every asset is worth holding forever. Sometimes selling is the right decision. But the next 10-20 or 30 years will make ownership of genuinely scarce and productive assets nearly impossible for the average person, and eventually even for people with good incomes. Because income and ownership are two different things. You can make $200,000 a year and still be competing against an institution managing billions of dollars. A good salary doesn’t necessarily give you the purchasing power to compete with pooled capital. That will become one of the defining economic divides of the future. Not simply rich versus poor. Owners versus renters. People who own appreciating and productive assets versus people whose income is continuously being used to pay the people and institutions that do. Everything could become more convenient, more efficient and more accessible while simultaneously becoming more financially optimized to extract every possible dollar from the consumer. It’ll produce incredible returns for capital. But it won’t produce a better society. If you can become an owner, become one. And when you acquire something genuinely valuable, understand what you have before you give it up. Because a time coming where buying it back will be significantly harder than selling it was.
