Vance: Anyone who says they like turkey is ‘full of s—‘
Alright, so here’s the deal. Apparently, Vice President Vance decided to take a bold stance on the culinary world, and it involves turkey. He essentially declared that anyone who claims to enjoy turkey is, shall we say, not being entirely truthful. His reasoning? Well, apparently, the act of spontaneously roasting an eighteen-pound turkey on a Tuesday afternoon is the ultimate litmus test of turkey love. It’s pretty wild to think that this is the hill he’s chosen to die on.
The immediate reaction seems to be a collective eye-roll. There’s a prevailing sentiment that Vance, in his attempt at humor, missed the mark spectacularly.… Continue reading

Vice President JD Vance has been vocal about his belief that certain individuals, particularly people of color, are insufficiently grateful for the opportunities America provides. This criticism has been directed towards figures like Kamala Harris, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Joy Reid. Vance’s comments have drawn criticism, with some suggesting they play into harmful stereotypes of “ungrateful” minorities. Experts suggest that Vance’s focus on gratitude taps into broader anxieties among some white Americans about demographic shifts and the perceived loss of their dominant position in society.

Musk’s outburst, calling Governor Walz a “huge jerk” for celebrating Tesla’s stock crash, highlights a fascinating clash of perspectives. It reveals a businessman’s frustration at seeing his company’s value plummet, but also underscores a broader societal unease with the immense power and influence wielded by figures like Musk.
The incident seems to stem from Governor Walz’s public display of happiness at Tesla’s declining stock price. This reaction, while perhaps unconventional for a political figure, reflects a sentiment shared by many who view Musk’s actions, particularly his mass layoffs and controversial public pronouncements, as detrimental. It taps into a deeper well of frustration with unchecked corporate power and its impact on the economy and society.… Continue reading
Following the re-election of Donald Trump, sales of dystopian novels and books on feminism and political themes have skyrocketed. Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which depicts a society where women are subjugated and forced to bear children, saw a dramatic surge in popularity, mirroring anxieties about reproductive rights. Other titles experiencing similar sales boosts include George Orwell’s “1984,” Timothy Snyder’s “On Democracy,” and Rebecca Solnit’s “Men Explain Things to Me,” reflecting a broader public concern about the state of democracy and the potential for political and social regression. These trends underscore the palpable anxieties about the future of America and the potential for the erosion of hard-won freedoms.

America has chosen Donald Trump for a second term, and we, as a nation, deserve the consequences. This outcome is not a fluke, but rather a reflection of our collective failings. We have chosen to embrace the worst aspects of ourselves, electing a leader who embodies our greed, insecurity, and lack of self-awareness. Trump is not a cause of our problems, but a symptom; he is a mirror reflecting our deepest flaws back at us. This election proves that we are not better than him, and we will only truly confront our own shortcomings when we acknowledge our complicity in his rise to power.

Democracy died in plain sight. It was a slow, agonizing death, punctuated by the deafening silence of complacency. We watched, numbed by the spectacle, as the foundations of our system crumbled around us. The cracks were visible for years, ignored by the masses, or brushed aside as mere blemishes on an otherwise perfect facade.
The seeds of our downfall were sown long ago, when corporations were granted the rights of individuals, and wealth became the ultimate measure of influence. The chasm between the haves and have-nots widened, fueled by a relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of the common good.… Continue reading
America will regret its decision to reelect Donald Trump. The consequences of this choice will be far-reaching and devastating, impacting not just the nation’s economy and social fabric, but also its international standing and the well-being of future generations. It’s a decision fueled by a potent cocktail of apathy, misinformation, and a disturbingly strong desire for the status quo, even when that status quo is demonstrably harmful.
The economic ramifications will be felt immediately. The already strained middle class will bear the brunt of the burden, squeezed by soaring housing costs and stagnant wages. Trump’s economic policies, particularly his tariffs, will further inflate prices, making everyday necessities like food and gas increasingly unaffordable for those already struggling to make ends meet.… Continue reading
It’s hard to wrap my head around the reality we’re living in when a Trump-supporting comedian chooses to open a Madison Square Garden rally by deriding Puerto Rico as a “floating pile of garbage.” There’s a weight to that statement that lingers long after the words have left the mouth of someone who ought to know better—someone who, in theory, exists to entertain, not to perpetuate ignorance and vitriol. A rally in such a storied venue, echoing with the laughter of a crowd that surely contains many Puerto Ricans, feels like an act of provocation more than simple stand-up comedy.
The first thought that strikes me is the sheer lack of awareness demonstrated.… Continue reading
Elon Musk recently stirred a wave of criticism by suggesting that people should worry less about the financial implications of having children and instead “start immediately.” As I processed his statement, I felt a mix of disbelief and concern. Here’s a person who has never had to think twice about the cost of living, comforts, or the struggles that most parents face in providing for their children. It’s easy for a billionaire to make blanket statements about family planning when he’s lived a reality that’s a world apart from those of everyday people.
Parenthood is undeniably one of life’s most rewarding experiences, but it’s also filled with challenges, especially in a society where financial security is never guaranteed.… Continue reading
