“I’m surrounded by women I fucking hate. They’re vile, idiotic cows who I despise with every fiber of my being. And I have to say, it’s really depressing that they don’t want to date a nice guy like me.”
Screenshot of part of a Twitter post -I am surrounded by 20-35 year old women in my life that are dumb, incapable, useless, and fat. Everybody is fucking them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don't get it....Selection from twitter post reading - 2. They get 100s of matches per week on dating apps, they literally don't see me as a human.

Carrie is about the moment an abuse victim flips and becomes the abuser and starts harming people who did nothing to her. It's supposed to make you feel incredibly uncomfortable. You're both sympathetic towards and horrified by the monster.
Tweet from Alex Steed

I have not seen Carrie, but I HAVE seen a ton of people who appear... confused that it is sympathetic to Carrie? Do people think Carrie was the villain of the movie Carrie? Am I losing my mind? I am positive I am going to regret this post.

Today Russia celebrated the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. At least 15 people are killed, among them 3 children. The number may rise as rescuers check the rubble‼️

This is especially galling given how cavalier this administration has been about deploying the troops and how callous they've been about their well-being while they're there. Sailors are trying to commit suicide on the USS Abraham Lincoln as the Millers soak up benefits meant for the military.

Red Shouldered hawks visiting the water container and having a bath.
Daytime trail cam photo of two red shouldered hawks (Buteo lineages). To the bottom mid right one hawk has landed on the corner edge of a black water container. Its wings are still up and it is looking just slightly to the left. To the mid upper left a second hawk is coming in for a landing. Its tail is fanned out and its wings are fully spread and curved slightly inward since it's putting on the brakes. The birds have red chests and black and white barred tail feathers. There is red along the tops of the wings. The surroundings are underneath a large oak (unseen but providing shade) with short dry brown grass and in the background a huge Coast Live oak and a fallen one.Daytime trail cam photo of two red shouldered hawks (Buteo lineages) at the water contained. One of them is in the container with its back to the camera with wings spread low and in the water as it hunkers down to bathe. The other is perched on the far corner waiting its turn. Its wings are closed and its red chest is readily apparent.
