The best thing I learned from Macaulay Culkin at last night’s Home Alone screening is that his 4yo son loves the movie, thinks of himself as Kevin, and has no idea that that’s his dad. Culkin is attempting to hide that fact for as long as possible

To me the truth is this:

The pauses on rent and student loan payments as well as stimulus checks and Child Tax Credits leading to an (on average) 150 pt increase in credit scores artificially inflated people’s perception of their COL & personal wealth.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.
