Our health care system in America is disgusting. A clear indication that our government doesn't give a fuck if we live or die.

I hope Donald Trump will join Mitch McConnell soon…resting peacefully…in a nice room…with a window…and his loving wife by his side.
He needs a break.

Democrats should be targeting crypto, as a Republican constituency, with the same zeal that Republicans targeted universities for being liberal-coded.
But they won’t, because it might jeopardize the crumbs that industry throws their way.

Look, intellectually I understand there are situations that call for unsalted butter instead of salted butter, but emotionally there is never a time I want to be in one of those situations.

It’s astonishing to see this, even though we saw it coming months ago. White = 10°F + above normal in the El Niño regions. Its immense!
In the air, a regional warming of 10° is no big deal. But in the ocean it’s immense! Think about how hard it is/ how long it takes to cool/ heat your pool. 1/

There were many ways in which the US and its allies could have responded to the horror of 9/11. But by building extreme security states, launching pointless forever wars and restricting domestic dissent, successive governments inflicted more harm on their nations than the terrorists could have done.

Home heating oil season is about to start up. In Maine, about 50% of homes use heating oil which is almost identical to diesel. How’s that GOP affordability agenda coming Senator Collins?
We've officially reached $6.00 diesel. The new record is $6.05 today on AAA. The national average for gasoline is $4.29. It's hard to believe that all this economic prosperity is just around the corner with fuel prices this high. gasprices.aaa.com

Seems like, among other horrifying things, this lawsuit abuser left a placenta in a woman and then charged her twice to remove it.
