"It's pissing people off": Older Dems are sick of hearing about "generational change" "I have no idea why this is the year to write this story, except that Joe Biden was old."

Miss me with the geriatrics complaining about having to defend their seats when they’re clearly not meeting the moment. No patience for this shit. www.axios.com/2026/03/06/h...

damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

Gulf states could review overseas investments to ease financial strains caused by Iran war Three leading Middle East economies consider options as US-Israeli campaign against Tehran continues

FT EXCLUSIVE: The Gulf governments are talking about declaring force majeure on the full gamut of contracts because they say they're short of cash. This could wreak some global havoc and slash investment in the US from regional sovereign wealth firms.

When I started teaching at a new school in CA back in 2007, my principal told me that "These kids want to be led." 19 years later, these same fools are being led alright.

The No-Explanation War The Trump Administration has decided that it need not make a case for military action. In the current media environment, that approach makes a disturbing kind of sense.

This is supremely lazy thinking. Go back to your phone, Brooding Young Man. YOU ARE PART OF THE MEDIA ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU CLAIM TO DESPISE. YOU HAVE PULLED THE WOOL OVER YOUR OWN EYES.

imagine being a history buff and getting this random tattoo on your chest that you look at every day in the mirror and then when you watch history documentaries for the next 20 years you never notice that all the nazi uniforms had your chest tattoo on their hats?

This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

Second, our Constitution and laws do not make America a 'Christian nation'. I do what I do because I believe in our democracy and our freedoms, the security of Americans of all faiths. Peter Hegseth may see himself battling for Christendom but it should not be the Secretary's fight. Its not mine.

First, a bit odd to be fighting a war where our main ally is Israel and the others are Muslim and imply we are fighting to stay "Christian nations under God" 🀨

In 2002 a buddy of mine called me and told me to watch Firefly because it was basically our old D&D characters in space. I tuned in on Bushwhacked. I love this show and will always love this show. But I can't follow Captain Tightpants on this one. Some things are better left alone.
