I felt this article SO much. I know the obvious answer to fix these issues NYT is high-lighting is "to get a high paying job" and to "find a lower rent apartment." My apartment is on the very low end of rental prices (very grateful for this) but I truly cannot find a better paying job to save my life. I have 10+ years of experience and I've been skilling up, know how to use AI (feels like a necessary evil for hiring right now), getting new certifications, opening my search, connecting with friends, strangers, friends of friends but it's hard out there when corporations rather pay someone with no skills a fraction of the rate.

I can't even imagine bringing a kid into this. If my partner and I had a kid tomorrow we'd be financially destroyed. I've known for years that our generations purchasing power relative to our salaries is nowhere close to the same as older generations, but I just feel such heavy depression and sadness from it now.

Anyone else feeling the sharp contrast against earlier generations super deeply right now?

Sean Connery (Highlander) - as Rick said in Rick and Morty “He played THE SPANIARD and did nothing about his accent.

Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain) - Watching this movie made you wonder if she watched cartoons as prep for a southern accent, while you can tell there was an Australian “BLIMY!” desperately trying to sneak out.

John Wayne (The Conquerer) - It was like he was putting on a southern accent so that people would think he was too fruity.

Emma Watson (Beauty and the Beast remake) - Emma is the quintessential “this person has a British accent so that means they’re a good actor” actor.

And wow, did she completely forget she was French half the time in this movie.

It wouldn’t be so bad if she just committed to an accent, but it kept changing scene to scene.

Luckily for her everyone was too distracted by the jarring cgi with no art direction to remember how bad she was in this monstrosity.

Next Tuesday, Californians will vote on Proposition 40, which would impose a one-time 5% tax on the state’s billionaires. It would apply only to people whose primary residence was in California as of Jan. 1, 2026, so several of the state’s wealthiest residents have packed up and shipped out to avoid the extra tax.

One such figure was Travis Kalanick, Uber’s billionaire cofounder. Back in March, he said he had moved to Austin, Texas, on Dec. 18, 2025—just about two weeks before the tax would’ve applied to him. With an estimated net worth of $3.6 billion, Kalanick could have faced a $180 million tax bill. 

“Just to be clear, on December 18, I moved to Texas. I don’t know what’s so specific about December 18, but let’s just say it’s prior to January,” Kalanick told TBPN, hinting at the Jan. 1 cutoff. “Yeah, so I’m a primary resident of Texas.”

Unlike Google cofounder Larry Page, who spent $173.4 million on two Miami estates, Kalanick decided to plant his new roots in Texas. Jeff Bezos made a similar move, leaving Seattle for Miami before Washington passed a millionaires tax.

Went to Panda Express today and the lady working there goes, “I've seen you two days this week, wow!”

MA'AM???? 😭😭

I didn't realize we were keeping attendance. And now, my fat ass has become such a regular that the employees are starting to notice patterns in my behavior.

Anyways, I'll see her tomorrow

"I had tears in my eyes the whole night. Free Palestine Tour night one. One of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever been a part of. Dublin."

Nightbreed- Clive barker called it "the star wars of horror." And wanted to make a full trilogy of movies plus a TV show. But the film flopped and barker hasn't made a movie since.

After earth- will smith kind of went nuts trying to make this the next big thing. Wanting movies, shows, kids programming with nasa and even after earth themed cologne. There was also theory that the movie had a bunch of sicenctolgy beliefs in it and Smith was trying to brainwash people into joining scientology. Smith broke after it bombed and his son/costar Jaiden almost cut ties with his dad entirely.
