Please read a book.
I've never seen Muslims carry out a Holocaust. 🤔
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's claim overlooks documented history: Ottoman Muslim Turkish authorities carried out the Armenian Genocide (often called an Armenian Holocaust at the time), killing an estimated 600,000-1.5 million Armenians via massacres and death marches in 1915-1916.

He showed contempt, poor judgement, and lack of self control. Yes, temptations are out their, but as human being we exercise agency over our base desires.
People mocking Jensen Huang’s wife for her looks are missing the point.
Lori met Jensen when he was a broke engineering student, married him before NVIDIA even existed, and stood by him for 40 years as he built his empire.
She was faithful and loyal. Even if the mistress was more attractive, Jensen was a scumbag for betraying his wife and kids.

And what was keeping them from doing it before? Starts with an “S”.
.@POTUS: "I didn't lift diesel sanctions; I made it possible for Russia to give, not us, but to the world, thousands and thousands of barrels of oil, of diesel, which it needed."

Student loans are a matter of personal responsibility. It’s quite that simple.
CAN WE PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE STUDENT LOANS ARE JUST A MATTER OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?
My cousin graduated with $52,000 in student debt. He did what everyone told him to do.
Study hard. Get a degree. Find a decent job. Build a future.
He got the degree.
His first job paid $46,000 a year.
His student loan payment was $450 a month that's $5,400 every year going toward education before rent, groceries, transportation, taxes, or savings. And here's the part that bothers me.
The degree was supposed to improve his earning potential over his lifetime. It wasn't supposed to guarantee that his first job would make him wealthy.
But why does someone have to begin their adult life with a financial obligation that can follow them for years before they've even had a chance to build an emergency fund?
Yes, education can be a worthwhile investment. Yes, loan terms matter. And no, not every degree or borrowing decision has the same outcome but an investment can be valuable and still place an enormous burden on the person financing it.
We celebrate graduates for getting their qualifications.
We rarely talk about how long some of them spend paying for the privilege of earning those qualifications.
If education is the path to a better financial future, why does the starting line come with so much debt?
I think trying to keep Bond faithful to the character in the books is a ship that has set sail. I never read the books so I only know him through the movie characterization. I say give the fans what they want.
Cavill is too old for the role. In the novels, Bond is in his mid-30s, and a big theme of the books is that he is barely physically capable of his job. He’s right on the edge of too old, but he doesn’t really care because he knows he’ll be dead soon. Middle-aged Bond was purely an invention of the later films, so they could sell sports cars to aging execs in their late 50s. Connery was 29 when cast. Bond should be young.

I remember fantastical numbers like this being tossed about around 9 years ago when the ACA was supposed to save us from high medical costs.
Under Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All plan, a family of four earning $50K would pay about $844/year in household premiums-replacing taxes.
Today, the avg family pays $6,850 in insurance premiums out of pocket, before deductibles and copays.
Which of these is the larger number?

There is not a single problem plagues Illinois that has anything to do with Donald Trump. He’s been governor for 8 years. Where was his 200 Point plan then? What’s his plan for crashing commercial real estate in the Loop? High property and gas prices?
🚨 ICYMI: I announced the Day One Agenda, including 200 proposals to repair the damage caused by the Trump administration.
Americans showed up for this election. Now it's time for Congress to do the same.

What circumstances? He owes it to the country to be specific.
US President Donald Trump said further military action against Iran seemed unnecessary for now and the conflict could end soon, but warned US forces were ready to resume major operations if circumstances changed.

Just plain stupid and disguised envy. It assumes billionaires worship wealth and money. Assuming they do, is it the Christian position that government exists to punish that or remedy it?
Adam Hamilton warns that the "wealth is not meant to be our priority. It's not meant to be our God. It's not meant to be worshipped."
Between Talarico, Hamilton, and Warnock, we have some good old-fashioned Christian asceticism aimed at our billionaire class.

Because your healthcare is not my responsibility.
The Medicare for All proponents in the Congress are right now proposing incremental expansions of public insurance, such as lowering the eligbility age, expanding it to children, etc. The relevant question would seem to be why should anyone be opposed to those?

So nearly 1 in 3 people living in this country are here illegally?
.@Chicago1Ray we can sign, seal and deliver a mass deportation campaign under President Trump that would have Eisenhower blushing. We need to get underway, NOW. The US Border Patrol ( El Centro Sector) had that strategy written 5 years ago - let’s pull off the shelf and implement TOTAL SPECTRUM IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. @OldPatrolHQ @hernandoarce @nickshirleyy

The ACA was written by Dems and passed by Dems. No Republican voted for it. How is it a right wing plan?

Then quit and work for yourself.
EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I’M FIVE
The federal 40-hour work limit was signed into law back in 1940.
Since then, we’ve invented laptops, smartphones, AI, and automation - making the average worker over 300% more productive than someone in the 1940s.
Yet somehow, 86 years later, we are still chained to the exact same 40-hour grind.
If tech was supposed to save us time and streamline our lives, why did all that extra efficiency go straight to corporate profits while our working hours stayed completely frozen in the 1940s?
Make it make sense.

Hunter Biden’s dad was president of the United States.
Every billionaire's "started in a garage" story conveniently skips the parental loans, elite connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom sat on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is just aesthetics; the capital was inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.
