if anyone wants some good drama for the 4th of July, some classic drama is coming out of Team USA gymnastics because one former member can't stop being an ass
He was the first social media president. And there have only been 2 dudes since him. Both of who currently 1 term president's. 4 years vs 8 years is a lot of time
The 2010s also had a rather unique meme culture imo
Haven't seen an Obama meme since...2016?
I've been seeing the "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you,β Harris meme on my social media
Yes?!
My family is full of former ER nurses, cops, and tow-truck drivers
I grew up hearing stories of people splattered across the highway because they they didn't wear their seat belt
Edit
I'll also say I've heard very gruesome stories of people going though windshields even on non-highways. Many of these stories happened between 1960s-1990s. Survivor basis plays a major part in "our parents didn't die!!".
The people won't know this until after the election, but I'll actually be contracting Taco Bell as the nation's newest defense company
Dorito tacos will be air dropped throughout the world to ensure an American cultural victory
It would be the only thing I would say in my inauguration speech
Then, in the spirt of the giant cheese wheel, I would let the public go crazy with it
Oh thank goodness because the rest of my platform is terrible and self-serving
Was hoping the distraction would work
The public and private sector working in harmony!
Baja Blast fountain in the middle of Pennsylvania Ave so my fellow Americans can always have a little treat
Uh nothing about that comment is harassment
Don't abuse the report button
If tomorrow it came out that 90% of the posters on FM political posts were either 14 or Russian bots, I would not be shocked
Oh yeah a very specific demographic (I'll just say it, white leftists that have never left 1 of 3 major cities) are yelling about it in Twitter and Tiktok
I'm honestly cringing at some of the comments I'm seeing. Do I get being upset that these are the two main chocies? Oh yes. I'm not thrilled
But there seems to be a concerning % of young voters who lack a fundamental understand of what the president is and what his powers actually are I'm seeing a lot of "Joe's been president! Why hasn't he just re-enacted Roe v Wade!!"
Because he can't!! Introducing and passing legislation is not a power of the American president. He needs a majority pro chocie dem congress before he even gets a bill on his desk
The ones SNL makes
Not all of them hit, but they got some bangers
Can confirm you have to be willing to live in the actual trenches if you want to find housing in DC for under 1k a month
I've seen very small basement aprtments going for 2.5k+
Starting a spreadsheet for how many times this exact question about racism against Indians from African/Hispanic Americans can get asked in 1 month
Do they?
I feel like in the last year people have been pretty pissed at them for the decreased portion sizes and increased prices
Police week
I truly mean no disrespect to the average police officers of the country, but holy fuck some of y'alls coworkers seem to enjoy terrorizing the innocent civilians of DC for a week every May. Even the DMV police don't like it
I saw this tweet the other week from a guy that said his friend on Instagram works at a DC federal agency and every morning posts a story of him flipping off the building to make sure everyone know doesn't actually agree with the agency π
Right after the Ginny/Georgia controversy, I feel like all her posts have been very...professional. Like everything is clearly pre written and proofed before it gets sent.
Taylor Nation seems to be the account that engages with fan accounts. And from what I have picked up on from Swifties, they seem to think Scott Swift plays a role in that accounts fan engagement activity. While social media team/legal runs it most of the time.
She used to be active/more personal on social media, but clearly, it caused more problems than it was worth
What I find interesting about TS and the dave grohl situation is that once again, she is being held responsible for the actions of a handful of annnomus Twitter accounts that behaved poorly months ago. With how everyone is acting, you would think she personally harassed his daughter and pushed her fans to do it
Also interesting that it is only the anti swifties talking about this lol The Swifities are fully locked in on Tavis watching. First time I feel like the Swifities...don't care enough to fully engage. Saw one tweet that like "growl cooks meals for the homeless, what does TS do other than pretend to be a feminist!!". The OP had a meltdown when the Swifities weren't taking the bait like they wanted
For the people who are doing the slut-shamming, it doesn't matter.
It's misogyny and sexism. They see girls and women having sex outside of marriage as a failure of culture. They want to control women and girls
I mean, it's 100% better then it was in say pre-1960s. Introduction of birth control for non-married women and the sexual/feminist revolution of the 1970s changed social norms
But some level of slut shamming towards girls and women is still an issue that can be found in most society's
I feel like it has a lot to do with the decrease in traditional well-paying assembly-line/Ford type of jobs
At least in Michigan, a lot of very well-paying factory jobs nowadays do require some form of training or limited continued educated. But most companies will pay for you do to the training or pay for you to get your required certificates
Awhile ago when I asked a question about the transition from school to higher education or work in the US. someone told me people in poorer areas get jobs in factories right after high school. Is that still a viable life path?
