I like this fucking post of yours a fucking lot. And will restack it to prove my fucking love.

However, and 1st:

“In reality, our laws and regulations and corporate structures desensitize all of us”…

I really really disagree with that.

In addition and, B, no, Kennedy is not a “skeptic,” he’s a grade-A batshit crazy full-blown lunatic anti-vaccine moron who’s always been a danger to public health.

Thank you for your understanding.

Wonder if they're also concerned that Daniel Penny being acquitted and being a guest of Trump & Vance might also produce copycat incidents, but I'm sure the cops aren't concerned about that because Brian Wossface is SO MUCH MORE valuable than Jordan Neely for reasons I don't recall at the moment but probably involve throwing jackets. After all, we learned making people uncomfortable and afraid is justification for killing a man… 😬🤬

Who could complain about these massive money grabbing machines receiving some, ohh…encouragement, to focus a bit less on counting their Billions Of Dollars, and a little more on our HEALTH?

"But let’s at least acknowledge that our culture and society must be incredibly fucked up to produce a nice guy who kills another nice guy for killing thousands." AND WITH A PLASTIC (fucking) GUN!

I feel like splitting hairs about or even footnoting the righteous calling of public libraries “socialism” is not smart. If you are asking for additional feedback on this, my advice would be to compassionately “yes” the person offering this feedback but immediately upon the close of the interchange with the person, endeavor to keep on doing what you’re doing. Just my two cents 🥸

Thanks, Lisa! I’m always happy for feedback (not always happy ABOUT feedback). And at a minimum with any luck it makes me more thoughtful/intentional when I’m writing.

That is a good approach!

So groovy that people are talking about death panels without using that term. Maybe my spouse is right when she says that overpopulation is the biggest problem we face, citing Sir David Attenborough as an expert reference.

I'm not expert but I agree with your spouse.

Virtually all modern problems can be traced back to the fact that there's too many of us.

“No notes”. Stop it 😅

Takes guts to write "offensively". I remain "grammatically" correct, but I admire your transgressive style.

It’s always been amusing to me that the only governor who ever came close to implementing universal health care in their state was Willard “Mittens” Romney. Yes, the Massachusetts general assembly had quite a bit to do with it, but he’s still the only one. My sister was on MassHealth before she qualified for Medicare and paid $15/mo for her coverage. The payments are based on a sliding fee scale and there are health plans available to anyone not insured through their job (Medicaid is part of the whole scheme). The ACA was based on MassHealth and when Obama was handing out praise, Romney’s (Democratic) successor got it all. And Mittens went on to lose the 2012 election for being elitist and out of touch with the poors.

Federal law requires the executive branch to do due diligence on environmental regulations. Any attempt to skirt them will be challenged in court.

LOL, as if that's going to happen.

What doesn’t sense is for any Democrat to vote to approve any of these nitwit nominees. Let the Republicans own them all.
