A comprehensive new survey has concluded that the ideal moment for you to have gotten your life together was roughly five years ago. Not now, not next year, not after one more reset or reinvention, but a very specific window in the past when you were already tired but still had “potential,” and people hadn’t yet adjusted their expectations downward.

The study clarifies that this moment varied slightly depending on who was asked. For some respondents, it was right after you graduated. For others, it was when you got that job you later quit, or that relationship you “weren’t ready for.” But all participants agreed on one thing: Whatever you are currently doing does not count as getting your life together.

Researchers interviewed friends who describe you as “figuring things out” in a tone usually reserved for broken appliances. These friends recalled the exact instant they realized you were not, in fact, on the brink of something big, but instead circling the same small set of problems with increasing confidence. Several noted that they now preface stories about you with phrases like “still” and “basically.”

President Donald Trump campaigned on the promise of getting out of foreign wars. He keeps talking about starting more of them.

MODERATOR: It’s the anniversary of the January 6th riot at the US Capitol, and although five years have passed, there remains a great deal of disagreement about what transpired on that day. Joining me to discuss this are two distinguished guests: Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, and US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. My first question to both of you: Do you agree with the January 6th Committee that what took place that day was, in fact, a violent insurrection against the United States government? I’ll start with you, Ms. Pirro.

The US Department of Justice indictment of Venezuela’s kidnapped leader, Nicolas Maduro, is a political rant that relies heavily on coerced testimony from an unreliable witness. Despite DOJ edits, it could expose more Americans to the CIA’s own history of drug trafficking. The January 3 US military raid on Venezuela to kidnap President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores was followed by the Department of Justice’s release of its superseding indictment of the two abductees as well as their […]

Well, they say you should never trust a politician, and it seems I’ve been duped.

As an avid reader of the New York Post, the New York Post’s X feed, and transcripts of several-minute-long voice memos from my relatives who have never lived in New York and will never live in New York, I was promised one thing from a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty: chaos.

Campus chaos. Anti-ICE chaos. Chaos in our parks, sidewalks, and public spaces.

And as an anarcho-communist-accelerationist-antifascist-nihilist-transplant-gentrifier-crisis actor living in a rent-controlled penthouse bodega paid for by some combination of my mommy and George Soros, that’s exactly why I wanted Zohran to win.
