“Wemby played 48 minutes, had 41 points, 24 rebounds and 3 blocks, changed 20 other shots and made a must-make 30 footer from the Curry spot, and by the end of the game the OKC fans looked like they’d just been strip-searched — anyway he’s our player of the game.”

@getnickwright Who gives a fuck? MJ created non-existent narratives and purposely riled up opponents to help him elevate his play.

@DrDiGiorgio @BarelyTrying92 Cool, as an American with a full time job paying a decent salary, I still have to pay $2500 for a colonoscopy. Our system is so fucking tight. You're 100% right.

This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take. No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare. The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral. Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year. Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes. Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment. The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.” America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be. Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities. Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis. It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

Free Universal Healthcare is so complicated and expensive that only 32 of the 33 wealthiest countries in the world have figured it out.

@j_why @alexinsix Tackle fall averages about 0.8 blocks per 6mins, so my point still stands its not rocket science, I never tried to shit on wemby I specifically said there's no doubt he's talented, he's highly skilled but it doesnt change the fact that it's a 7ft player getting blocks

@jordyxcollins There are about 9 times as many people in the US as Canada, so 27 teams to 3 makes a lot of sense.

@atrupar He misspoke on a percentage point. Meanwhile a $600 drug is now ten bucks. The only people who care about the math error are the ones who wanted that drug to stay expensive so they could keep fundraising off it. This is why normal people hate politics.

@NYMag "Malicious defamation claim?" Are you out of your mind? The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick slandered Kash Patel, with no verifiable evidence and you call Patel malicious? I knew NYMag is trash, but this is beyond ridiculous.

New York Magazine@NYMag·
FBI director Kash Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against ‘The Atlantic’ and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick on Monday, alleging that the magazine had published “statements with actual malice” in a new profile that “falsely asserts” he is a “habitual drunk, unable to perform the duties of his office, is a threat to public safety, is vulnerable to foreign coercion, has violated DoJ ethics rules, is unreachable in emergencies, has required the deployment of ‘breaching equipment’ to extract him from locked rooms, allows alcohol to influence his public statements about criminal investigations, and behaves erratically in a manner that compromises national security.” Putting aside the malicious defamation claim, that’s actually a pretty good summary of the eye-opening revelations in Fitzpatrick’s article, writes Chas Danner. Patel had, through an FBI statement to ‘The Atlantic,’ warned he would sue. “Maybe the only surprise is that he didn’t ask for $1 billion in damages, which is what Donald Trump would have done.” Read more: nymag.visitlink.me/innYzq

We’ve legit lost the plot. I honestly have zero idea what people are looking for these days but there needs to be a major shift in criticism. The movie I saw was well written, well directed, beautifully shot, insanely well performed and the sound was amazing. Are we “film” critics or not. We’re supposed to help paint the picture of what an audience can anticipate and this score is not even close to that picture, objectively.

All kidding aside, Blazers fans are truly worried about the future of their team. During their recent Play-In trip, Portland staffers were told to check out of their hotel at noon… With hours to kill before a 7 PM game, some were left sitting in the lobby- with luggage. Reason? Ownership reportedly didn’t want to pay late checkout fees.
Dale🏌️‍♂️@CelticsDale

So he isn’t sending his two-way guys and isn’t doing Playoff t-shirts for the fans. But i’m glad he traveled himself for the Play In so he could get some pregame shots up!! What a loser. I’d be sick.

Do you follow @PopBase, @PopCrave, or @PopTingz? These accounts present themselves as lighthearted pop culture sources — Taylor Swift tours, K-pop photoshoots, Eurovision updates, and celebrity news. Yet a closer examination reveals something far more concerning: they are operating as vehicles for a coordinated influence campaign. 🧵

@HQNewsNow $1.5 trillion for defense to protect America while they're cutting the slush fund that spent billions on everything from "equitable infrastructure" to refugee resettlement to foreign aid. That's not a budget, that's a correction.
