One of the many calls of the void I experience frequently.

The government could mandate that all insurance companies use the same codes Medicare does, standardized coding would cut out a lot of actual waste in the healthcare system.

It’s been long enough. We can make jokes about it now.

If no one buys these shoes that fall apart after breaking their toes, the growth of the Shoes-That-Injure-The-Wearer industry could really take a hit!

Really needs to be a “DUUUUHHHH” community for stories like this.

Also, bodycams were always a cop wishlist item. They control the footage, does anyone think if ICE had bodycams there would be transparency? Of course not, there would be a ton of “malfunctioning” bodycams when they did some shit, and in any case where a civilian showed even a hint of resistance or that they might fight back, the footage would be used to bury them.

Imagine if 90% of the time, Spotify would only play an album if you asked to play it twice, unless it was an album in the billboard top ten, and sometimes it would decide to not play an album at all, and it had made deals with every record company that made physical media versions of albums cost $5,000. That’s what health insurance is like.

Except there are zero contracts in place to actually build those data centers, nor is there enough power generated to run them. I really wish tech journalists would do the background to determine if what these documented liars are saying is even possible, never mind likely.

Thank you, Threads is a garbage pit.

Appropriate that something in a neoliberal community is in the shitposting community too.

Oh look, the micropenis convention is in town and boy are they violent!

It was always what its critics feared. Truly brave reporting from the Atlantic, 20 years late to the show.

Don’t Catholics subscribe to the doctrine of TRANSubstantiation?

Kamau Bell posted a video about this, and how when you have a kid you teach them something, they say they got it, and a week later they ask about it again; and Joe Rogan is like that except he’s a full adult and he’s doing it with fascism.

Jesus was way cool. He turned water into wine, and if he wanted to he could have turned sugar to cocaine, wheat into marijuana, vitamin pills into amphetamines. He was so cool.

Hold on, you’re saying that if there are bike lanes that make riding safe, more people will ride bikes? Sounds sus but okay.

No, he starred in the Jack Ryan series that glazed the CIA like crazy. On the press tour, he claimed the CIA had nothing to do with the series despite filming scenes at the agency headquarters in Langley. (Federal agencies generally don’t let you film at their buildings without a lot of influence on productions.) He’s also argued that the CIA are the real heroes of US foreign policy.

Debt: the First 5000 Years by David Graeber. He debunks the standard narrative of “barter, then hard currency, then systems of credit” that is commonly taught when discussing the history of economics, and goes into the conflation of financial debt and spiritual debt, leading to society placing moral weight on someone being in financial debt.

The irony of using a meme featuring John “the CIA is really cool, actually” Krasinsky for this message.

Some Minnesotans just sound like that.
