THIS. There are problems with the ACA; people just above Medicaid coverage but still quite poor are boned. They get the thinnest policies with deductibles they’ll not be able to pay, and for too large a portion of their meager incomes. People with medical needs with incomes near the cap for subsidies get stuck between…

The AMA Also opposes single payer. There are a LOT of Lamborghini lifestyles to protect in the US healthcare delivery system; the pharma lobby can’t kill reform by itself.

A thousand stars for “testerical”.

After inspecting myself I can confirm—-it’s boobies all the way down.

Drop what you’re doing and go read it. You’ll struggle for awhile with the indeterminate genders and singular/plural issues but it is so, so worth it.

Crazy Head is a whacktastic delight.

Ugh so many trolls. Who fed the MRAs after midnight? WHO GOT THEM WET?!

My conclusion is that Davis Fucking Brooks wouldn’t know a rotten pomodoro if it hit him in the face.

David Brooks does not have good intentions. That you think he does means he has excellent self promotion, though. Lena D’s young, sheltered, and getting schooled very publicly over her missteps and idiocies. She’ll become a formidable person when her cookies are finished baking.

Yes, it’s those nasty elites in New York and San Francisco (ahem LIBTARDS) ruining the ENTIRE COUNTRY. The good people of Atlanta and Tulsa certainly don’t self segregate by income. Canard, canard!

This! Plus, if this hoity toity sammich shop is anything like our hoity toity sammich shops, the people behind the counter LOVE to introduce people to their fancy cured meats. They’ll practically vault the counter with samples of mortadella to stuff in your face. If this isn’t a fake story then DB needs a bit of…

The idea that a woman shouldn’t be in an occupation where she works alone is a shit idea.

I think it can be complicated to do a name change as an adult because of the professional aspect. Many people have childhood names and adult names, or personal names and professional names, so people giving you static on that front are just being purposefully obtuse.

And if the manager doesn’t boot the poos out and make it crystal clear to the staff that baby changing in the dining area is a hard no, take it up with social media so it can do some good for once.

Time to head to the bunker, Rev.

Or money. The war machine was fueled by money stolen from Jews, Catholics, etc.

Right? Like, I went into a fantasy about rich-me making two piles on the table - one for my server and one for dickbag’s server, and laying down fives for each every time dickbag took away a dollar from his pile. And then I added a round of drinks for the bar and coffee for the kitchen. And then I remembered why I’m…

Conversely, if they took the same number of AP credits, but person a takes one more regular class than person b, person b’s GPA will be higher because the weighted grades will be averaged into fewer hours, upping the GPA slightly for the student doing less work. This math boned a friend of mine who lost valedictorian…

McMansion Hell is delightful and I’ve learned so much about architecture from reading it.

It does.
