@ryangrim You can’t seriously be blaming America for Cuba’s lack of ability to power their hospitals.
I get that Hasan is a scam activist, I don’t expect much from a champagne socialist. I expected more from you, but I guess that was too grim of a proposal to make.
English
Here’s another complaint from “The Free Press” that a hotel had power while a hospital lost power in Cuba. In case The Free Press is merely ignorant and not actively lying to their audience, I’d remind them that the Trump administration changed its rules so private businesses (like the American-owned hotels that Americans are required to stay in) are allowed to buy imported oil but the government (which means all hospitals) is not allowed to import oil.
So now that The Free Press is aware of this fact — and rightly thinks it is wrong to deprive a hospital of fuel — I’m sure they will amend this piece and join the rest of the civilized world in demanding Trump end this illegal oil blockade.
Right? That’s what they’ll do won’t they?

Viral content creators like Hasan Piker and Ryan Grim were invited for a weekend in a blacked-out Cuba so they could preach the glories of ‘la revolución.’ thefp.com/p/cubas-useles…

@jetskitosway2 @editaurus Moby was awesome up to and including the Move EP - the following 33 years of everything he’s said and done can be deleted.

As a leftist, I used to love Lola by the Kinks until DJ/producer Moby clued me into the lowkey problematic nature of the song’s lyrics. It’s so important to keep listening to marginalized voices. There’s no excuse for ignorance. ✊

@RugPullatypus @InezFeltscher sounds like Alabama legislators should get to work regulating things
English
@InezFeltscher Yep! Costs skyrocketed, particularly in states like AL where BCBS is a monopoly & basically control how healthcare is handled via how they pay
I take the highest deductible possible I would rather pay the docs & staff that are treating me than give a single penny more to BCBS

For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be able to get basically full, complete coverage above a max of $5,000 (aka “catastrophic coverage”) for 90 bucks a month before Obama made it “affordable.”
Chris Pappas@ChrisPappasNH
The ACA was signed into law 16 years ago today, bringing health care coverage to millions of Americans. But now, 22 million Americans are struggling to afford health insurance because Donald Trump and Senate Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits, which could drive families into crippling debt. I won’t stand for these attacks because every American deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care.

@JeremyMonjo don’t like beaches, don’t like mountains… what are you an oil fields kinda guy?
English
Should move to a different city. Start over. There's no future for me in Vancouver. Not a Vancouver guy. It's done and over here. Don't like the beaches, don't care for the mountains. Weather's nice but that's beside the point.
English
Let me explain California to you.
Everyone shares pictures like this - look how beautiful, worth the taxes!
Look closer.
Nobody on the beach.
You know why?
Because the beach sucks.
Pretty in a picture. But the reality is that it's windy, wavy, cold, dark, rocky and just shit.
And that's up and down the coast - and it's most of the pictures you see shared. Pretty landscape... But treacherous conditions.
And that's basically California in a nutshell.
Good for a quick visit because it's pretty - but not actually better than Florida.

@WillSloanEsq it’s especially funny since when he didn’t care about a movie he just regurgitated the plot points (often incorrectly)

@Smacktalks I still can't believe they haven't fixed the face-heel dynamic in Universe mode. When you turn someone face or heel, it doesn't change their reaction from the crowd, like, "I can't believe this feature is still broken."

@BilgeEbiri @criterionchannl the films cut out a lot of the not-comedic pathos stuff which is a shame
English
I was a huge fan of Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, and Michael Winterbottom’s THE TRIP films, but now I’m watching the full TV series versions of them on the @criterionchannl, and it is dawning on me that this is one of the great artistic accomplishments of the century.

@gray_dvm @unusual_whales that will not give you $11 million net worth

@unusual_whales Save 5% of your income, drive 10year old cars, take a sack lunch, don’t go to casinos, limit your alcohol/drug consumption and get up and work every day. In 25 yrs you will crack into the 1% group.

@blockedfreq @dakaner he had a bad stroke and his personality and beliefs completely changed due to brain damage so his early campaign is not really relevant
English
@dakaner It's crazy stuff. I covered PA 2022 more than most on here at the time and Fetterman was broadly liked by the primary electorate. His campaign staff was fantastic and the appealing message was strong. He out-hustled everybody in that primary.
English
For a primary that was at one point The Main Electoral event On Here it seems a lot of people have memory holed all of it. Fetterman won overwhelmingly in every county and every Demographic except MAYBE, Barely lost Black voters. Lambs campaign was atrocious

The Democrats of Pennsylvania could have had Conor Lamb as their Senator but instead looked at a big doofy guy in a hoodie and decided they preferred a guy who looked and acted more like them than an educated attorney with military experience. This mess is all on you guys.
