@RobertMSterling Rob great post! For the subscriptions we have built an app called Stoa where we have all subscriptions in one place. I would love to do a demo for you. We are also closing our pre-seed round. Perhaps you would love to join. Happy to jump on a call this week.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

@Mindvirus24 @i_iratus @EPotterMD Because corporate interests got in and corrupted the necessary politicians. The NHS was in a pretty good state until 14 years of tory abuse and neglect fucked it up.

@i_iratus @EPotterMD If the NHS is so successful, why don't other countries introduce the same system?

@CE_HandSurg @shycollie @EPotterMD Your system is so fucked. My wife had breast cancer. Diagnosis, surgery, prosthetic, after care, chemo, 10 years of tamoxifen, annual checks. Cost £0 USA Diagnosis $2000 Surgery $80000 Prosthesis $8000 Chemo $50000 Aftercare 1yr $4000 Tamoxifen $14000 10yrs $160000 'ish.

@shycollie @EPotterMD But really none of this should exist. There should be no preauth required for inpt or outpt or anything. Surgeon decides what is medically necessary, provides the care and insurance pays per contracted rate.

On January 7th, 2025 I shared a video, after I was asked to call UnitedHealthcare from the operating room to answer administrative questions about the patient who was having surgery to treat breast cancer. Despite my efforts, they denied her stay. UnitedHealthcare didn’t stop at calling me during surgery. Now, they’ve sent me a legal threat—and even worse? They ended up denying my cancer patient’s hospital stay. Exactly what I was afraid would happen. Staying overnight after major surgery isn’t optional—it’s medically necessary. But UnitedHealthcare decided they know better than the doctors caring for the patient. When they called me while I was operating, I knew that if I didn’t step out and respond immediately, they might deny her stay—leaving her with a massive bill. So, with another surgeon in the OR, I scrubbed out and called them back. But after all of that? They denied her stay anyway. And instead of fixing their broken system, they sent me a legal threat for speaking out. I’m sharing their response in full, letting their words speak for themselves. Let me be clear: I stand by everything I said. I told the truth. I was honest about what’s happening in our healthcare system. And I will not be silenced by legal threats when it comes to advocating for my patients and my ability to care for them. Denying an overnight stay that a doctor orders is dangerous. The doctor caring for the patient should be able to make these decisions without delay, pressure, or harassment. If I don’t speak up, I lose—my integrity, my voice, and the opportunity to make a difference. And while it’s intimidating to receive a letter like this from a company as powerful as UnitedHealthcare, I know where I stand. I am a woman taking care of women affected by breast cancer. I do this work with all of my heart, and I will continue to speak up for my patients—because they deserve better. I ask you to follow along, share this story, and have these conversations in your own communities. I know I’m not the only one dealing with this, and real change will take all of us telling our stories and standing up for what’s right. I’m here for it. Are you?

@mjfree They're all praying for his immediate demise from something deeply unpleasant.

WTF IS THIS?????????

@MrChallinger @LeftAnimalFarm @Tesla @cybertruck Praising your shitlas automotive safety? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It randomly fucking crashed. How is that safe? If someone had been standing there they'd be dead. How many blowjobs does Herr Elon give you a week for your praise?

@IanWrig59131680 @GregShickle @theJeremyVine Most home insurance comes with free £multi-million public liability cover for the entire family. Uninsured drivers cost the UK economy upwards of £380m a year. How much do you think uninsured cyclists cost?

@GregShickle @theJeremyVine I'm assuming this is sarcasm.

Embankment, London: It is time to take one of these unused car lanes and use it to double the width of the cycle lane, which is exceptionally busy every day now

@Matthardy_BR @ges4 Wow. The ketamine and meth your mum snorted when she was pregnant really did a good job on you. Just wait till 6G arrives. The cyanide in the measles jab you had when you were 10 will be triggered and make your balls drop off and turn you into a girl.

@ges4 The graphene oxide in their blood from the shot can be controlled by the frequencies these things give out

@revoltinghippie @jdpoc m.youtube.com/watch?v=kRh1zX…

@jdpoc I can understand the mix ups with 10k equalling 6m, but the time thing is something out of a parody. I assume the person is confusing a 24-hour clock, which even the US Military use

I present to you, the American Education System.

@DavesCoins @RpsAgainstTrump Bat shit fucking crazy.

@RpsAgainstTrump She has such energy and is supportive of our President.

“To say no to President Trump would be to say no to God.” Meet televangelist Paula White, who Donald Trump just appointed to lead the White House ‘Faith Office.’ This is not normal.

@norhloudspeaker @acnewsitics Not quite. I got measles when I was 7 or 8 and was a bit sick. I got it again when I was 20 and was very, very sick for a long time. Never got vaccinated against mumps. Definitely don't want it as an adult.

@acnewsitics I am not an anti vaxer. However, when I was a kid, everyone got measles. We also got chicken pox and the mumps. We barely missed school. We got it, got better, and have lifetime immunity.

The measles outbreak expands in West Texas around counties with low vaccination rates. The anti-vaxxers will blame everyone but themselves. Sad for kids that have parents who are so reckless. cnn.com/2025/02/07/hea…

'I'd make it harder to get British citizenship', says Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch, whose mother travelled from Nigeria to the UK to give birth to her, before returning to Nigeria shortly after, where she lived for 16 years before 'coming over here'. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@basi_manraj @ArabDas31313 @BBCBreakfast @officialhavers Yeah right. Just like the 50 people a year that die on the pavement under the wheels of a vehicle.

@ArabDas31313 @BBCBreakfast @officialhavers He’s still right about cyclists on the pavement and footpaths 🤔

Just watched Nigel Havers tell @BBCBreakfast that he hates cyclists who nearly kill him every day cycling on the pavement. Nigel Havers is a Convicted Drink Driver. 300 people die due to Drink drivers, every year. How many by cyclists Nigel? Dont be a Nigel. @officialhavers

@JG4NDY @BobFromAccounts @MayorofLondon Ooo look. Another #troll Come back to us when uninsured cyclists cost the UK economy 0.1% of the £380m a year that uninsured drivers cost and there's no longer 1m cars with cloned plates or 203,000 drivers don't get speeding tickets.

@BobFromAccounts @MayorofLondon Mandate number plates for bikes and enforce helmet wearing, charge cyclists for running reds, zebra crossings, riding without due care and attention and no lights. Enforce cyclists having to pay insurance but not road tax as they can cause damage and injury too.

Embrace this @MayorofLondon, build more cycle infrastructure

I like his work, but loopholes like this have to close. Steve Coogan was caught doing 97mph on the M6 on 29 July last year. He already had 6 points on his licence - so a further 6 would have seen him disqualified. @transportgovuk @Heidi_Labour news.sky.com/story/steve-co…

How true is this?

Hi @ThatAlexWoman. What happened to that unconfirmed report? The shooter has been confirmed to be Rickard Andersson.

@ediz1975 @Bikery1966 @MetroUK Fuck off ediz. What a cunt.

@Bikery1966 @MetroUK It’s such a shame people like you support pushing increased congestion upon kids and parents outside LTNs .., for a hobby

Time and again many drivers openly display irrational anger which shows them to be mentally unfit to drive a motor on our roads. I was called disgusting and irresponsible on the school run. metro.co.uk/2025/02/05/cyc… via @MetroUK

Yet her mother travelled to the UK to give birth to her before birthright citizenship was abolished in 1981, and then returned to Nigeria.
