"Keeping anything of your own that you won't give to others is selfishness. Expecting anyone to give you anything of theirs is entitlement. Give to the needy until you have nothing left. That's empathy & being a good person"
I am so sick of this toxic message but it's prevalent

I'm taking care of my dad's house while he's out of town
IDK how my dad lives like this
It's like living in a showhouse or dollhouse where everything is cold & plastic. All hard surfaces. Nothing is soft, warm, inviting. The only fabric is curtains & a few thin cotton blankets

You have no idea how long I had to argue with Grok to get this image either. Not pictured: the suspect (who is probably a certain ethnicity/religion that might promote collective guilt)
I wanted bombs that said "Ho! Ho! Ho!" falling on Mecca, but that was a hard 'no'
A Muslim stole and burned the nearly 1,000-year-old bones of Saint Nicholas, better known as Santa Claus.
Are you kidding me

We're becoming mini-Atlanta. 5th of the size, demographics almost identical
Basically anyone named Keisha got elected is what I'm saying
Welcome to minority status

Every time someone else scans & bags my groceries, they lose something. I never have it happen when I scan & bag my own stuff
This time it's cheese. It was WITH the 1st one. Should've been bagged together, right? Nope. Gone. 🤬
Why can NO ONE do their jobs properly anymore?

Your childless friends gave up on you because you use your children as an excuse as to why you put 0% effort into your friendships
Coming from my own experience, sure, but many parents don't know how to have concurrent adult lives. Usually they don't even try.

They see compassion & kindness, see it as weakness, and exploit it to purposefully destroy Western civilization so that they can feed from its rotting corpse.
I know that sounds theatrical but it's not. It's really just selfishness & a lack of empathy trying to get an easy meal
I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide

Swift justice ⚖️ Convict & execute. Send 💀 to Brussels. They aren't playing... you can't play either or you lose your sovereignty.
🚨 BREAKING: POLISH PRESIDENT STORMS HIS OWN HIGHEST COURT AT 1 AM 🚨
Karol Nawrocki just walked straight into the Constitutional Tribunal building after turning his plane around mid-flight from Senegal.
He looked the pro-EU judges in the eye and told them they are NOT judges.
Their attempted takeover is OVER.
“You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the elected President of Poland personally ending a coup in real time.
Donald Tusk’s camp declared the Tribunal’s president (Bogdan Święczkowski) “suspended,” sent police to surround the building, and tried to seize control with judges who were never sworn in by the President. Nawrocki cut his trip short, flew home, arrived after midnight with the head of the Supreme Court, and forced his way inside through the pushing and scuffling at the doors.
He is not backing down.
Poland’s highest court was being hijacked. The President just took it back. 🇵🇱
Go get ’em, Mr. President! 🇺🇸
This is what standing up to a power grab looks like.

Republicans: "Vote for us & we'll limit govt power"
*GOP doesn't limit power & increases deficit*
Republicans: "Well yeah we lied, but if you don't vote for us again, the Dems will use the power we didn't limit to expand power & ruin the country"
US politics in a nutshell
I was reading a fic where the author was releasing a new chapter every day of October. I literally had 2 chapters left & then this happened... 😭
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

Republican worshippers' response to this absolutely fair criticism of the Trump admin is why I LOATHE them. They don't even understand how awful it is to say with a straight face:
"Well the Republicans betrayed everything they stood for & ran on, but at least they're not Dems"
It truly is disappointing beyond words.
When Trump got elected in 2024, he had a coalition.
Republicans had at the trifecta.
It was a miracle that he literally even survived to have the opportunity.
It started off as a transformational presidency.
Pardons.
Sealing the border.
Then one unforced error after another.
The Epstein files debacle.
War with Iran.
The most loyal supporters cast aside and demonized.
Like the deep state swamp creature somehow stuck a spoke in the wheels of the transformational presidency.
Bogged down in a non-war that is certainly not never-ending, except it’s a war and it’s still going on.
Higher gas prices.
Higher cost of living.
Domestic agenda neglected.
The sincere constructive criticism of the most loyal supporters utterly ignored.
The coalition shattered.
And now the scoundrel Democrats - the ones who support boys in girls sports, mutilation of children, open borders… who did everything in their power to destroy the country are on the verge of taking back control.
And they didn’t even do anything to deserve the opportunity.
Just one unforced error after another that alienated the very coalition that gave this potentially transformational presidency a shot.
Everything that might have been now facing what looks like a disaster of a midterm.
I don’t know when the wake up call comes too late, but I hope it comes and there is time to right this ship before 2028.
