@JonesDanny @AdamFrank4 Just change our entire energy production and distribution network, what’s the big deal?

Adam Frank (@AdamFrank4) is an astrophysicist and one of the world's clearest thinkers on climate change. And he says the public debate about the Earth's climate has NOTHING to do with science. This is why all "climate experts" seem to disagree about what's happening to global temperatures:

アメリカの皆さん。日本の鎌倉から見る夕焼けがとっても綺麗です。よかったらアメリカの綺麗な夕焼けを見せてください！

@C_Yukimaru Yesssss!!!!!

Do you guys recommend Project Hail Mary? If so, I might go watch it at the cinema.

@Super70sSports You are underestimating it.

I don’t want to overrate William Shatner’s performance of Rocket Man, but it may be the greatest thing that has ever fucking happened.

@nyuryokuya Beautiful!

おはようございます 文字が自動翻訳されるようになったらしいね。海外の人も見てくれてるかな？ 日本で水彩画を描いてます。

@IMAO_ Two great stories made into great films over ten years apart. If there is a stronger argument for Hollywood missing the forest for the trees I haven't seen it.

Andy Weir does get a lot of credit for the movie as it adheres very closely to the great plot he set up.

@JRoberts112358 @ga16788 @esaagar Great straw man but no, it’s not ok if the Government does it instead.

@TmanInTn @ga16788 @esaagar When you talk about a government taking everything someone has, you realize that medical bankruptcy is the most common cause in America, yeah? Is it only ok if the organization taking everything from someone for getting sick is a corporation for you?

My daughter was born 10 months ago and required a brief transfer to a speciality hospital The insurance co tells me I owe nothing: Months later the hospital sends me a bill for THOUSANDS. Insurance says hospitals just send it to see if you'll pay after a service is denied

@randomyoko Americans (whether they appreciate it or not) are born in to a system that is based on universal truths, things like free speech and personal liberty. I don’t think those truths are unique to Americans but this Nation started with those truths as a foundation.

🇯🇵💬 Why do Japanese people like the traditional American way of life? At least for me, I’m not interested in some imagined version of America shaped by shallow experiences or one-sided ideology. Especially not the kind pushed by the left, rooted in a form of white guilt that, in my view, ends up benefiting communists without offering anything meaningful. In the same way people overseas are drawn to samurai, we’re drawn to things like cowboys. I also feel that people who embrace a kind of political correctness based on wanting to offend no one and be liked by everyone are, in some cases, struggling internally. I’d rather they learn to like themselves first, instead of trying to control everything around them. Even if traditional American culture were erased, I don’t think that would make them any happier. What I find compelling is the real America—the one rooted in its own history, culture, and traditions. That’s why I want America to stay truly American.

@ga16788 @Nuwaydah @esaagar “Lower than Cuba” - sure dude. Best of luck.

@Nuwaydah @TmanInTn @esaagar We ranked dead last among to 10 industrialized countries studied.. we are currently ranked like 60th. In overall health care. Our HC system is ranked lower than Cuba and theyve been under blockade and sanctions for decades.

@Nuwaydah @ga16788 @esaagar Actually I'm Tman but thanks. I agree that the cost per outcome is terrible. The point I am making is that our government will not improve this metric. Thanks.

@TmanInTn @ga16788 @esaagar You are ignorant. You pointed out one “outcome” and we aren’t the best (I will concede we are near the top). With that being said, we are roughly middle/upper of the pack in regards to outcomes…now looking at cost per outcome ratio, we are near the absolute worst.

@ga16788 @esaagar Depends on which "outcomes" you mean. The US leads in cancer survival in every category, for instance. But a more important point about health care is that "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have".

@TmanInTn @esaagar A competend gov not owned by the rich likely could, which is why most other countries have some form of gov funded healthcare and have better outcomes than we do. Notnsure out gov is competent enough but health insurance industry needs to end

@taylorthetator @jay_nfl @esaagar I addressed everything you just wrote above. If you disagree that's fine but clearly you aren't interested in my answer. Best of luck.

@TmanInTn @jay_nfl @esaagar Do you think government run healthcare means they wouldn’t hire healthcare providers? Do you think the insurance companies denying people left and right are actually listening to healthcare providers? Lmfao

@taylorthetator @jay_nfl @esaagar Please go look at how it's done here, with the government enforcing laws and the healthcare provider running healthcare- surgerycenterok.com

@TmanInTn @jay_nfl @esaagar “No, I don’t trust government run health insurance, but I DO trust the government to dictate how insurance companies should run” -you, apparently

@taylorthetator @jay_nfl @esaagar Yes. The government should be enforcing laws not running healthcare, was that your point?

@TmanInTn @jay_nfl @esaagar And who’s going to make them be transparent in their pricing? Perhaps a law? Enforced by… the government?

@yoperny_teatr @esaagar Four giant insurance companies helped craft most of the Obamacare legislation behind closed doors and they profited tremendously through its installment. If you want to remove profit from the problem adding the government as the answer is even dumber.

@TmanInTn @esaagar Any for profit healthcare system will prioritize profits over healthcare. Thus a nonprofit healthcare system (government run or not) is a preferred option

@jay_nfl @esaagar No. The people performing the service should be transparent in their pricing. The surgerycenterok.com does this and has brought down costs for elective surgery in some cases as much as 50%.

@TmanInTn @esaagar So some other large megacorp should run it....?

@_whitneywebb I think you need to get a refitting for that tin foil hat.

I got a lot of shit for saying why I don't trust the Joe Kent trajectory and, why I was obviously put on the spot about it and could have been more articulate, I think the points I brought up are very reasonable. If the top counter-terror spook resigns to amplify rhetoric (even if it's mostly accurate) that the current administration defines as indicative of "domestic terrorism" AND that spook was previously also funded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder and chairman of the intelligence contractor working to establish domestic terror pre-crime in the US, I think it's fair to be skeptical of him. Trump previously considered making a pre-crime program using AI to flag the social media accounts of Americans who displayed "warning signs" of violence or "mental illness". It's main advocate was Jared Kushner. There have been many recent media efforts to equate criticism of Israel to "anti-semitism" and "anti-semitism" to mental illness. Most social media giants are owned or funded by people who lied about their ties to Epstein and also contract for (or are otherwise linked to) the US national security apparatus. That same apparatus has expanded infrastructure for the supposed "War on Domestic Terror" with the blessing of every administration since George W. Bush, it is bipartisan, and they didn't just build it for no reason - they intend to use it at some point. Also, the idea that there is a "civil war" in the White House, as proposed by people like Nick Fuentes, over the Iran War only helps JD Vance, who is also tied at the hip to Palantir's Peter Thiel. I took a lot of shit in the past for my stances on Covid, on Trump being a neocon, and on Epstein's intel ties, etc. etc. way before it was "popular" to do so but which turned out to be correct. I am not here to be popular or to tell you what you want to hear. I have been early on a lot of stories that other people now take credit for after the fact. I don't care if you like me and I don't care about getting credit, I care that some of you wake the fuck up and stop swallowing every single psyop they throw at you without thinking twice about it.

@andyweirauthor @Alex_Kurtzman You didn't need to do this. And apologizing only makes the perpetually offended stay perpetually offended. You wrote a great story and would've probably made some great ST pilots, the fact that they didn't recognize this isn't something you should apologize for.
