@owenbroadcast Been trying to tell some mates to read the first few books, since starting it myself. All religion/theology aside my reoccurring thought is: this is the most bizzare book ive ever read.

I lived in Canada for nearly a decade. Up there they have a practice called “hallway medicine” where they park beds and treat people in hallways because there are no rooms available.

One of my best friends was rushed to the ER with the worst headache of her life — and she had a history of brain cancer. They made her wait (which can take hours in a Canadian ER). Eventually she slumped over and died of an aneurism at the age of 25.

I was once waiting with my wife to be seen for a staph infection on her face. About six hours in of waiting in the ER waiting room (and being harassed several times by a drunk homeless woman for cigarettes) a large man comes in bleeding from his abdomen. They made him sit and wait to be triaged with a growing puddle of blood on the floor in front of him. After about a half an hour he begged to be seen and showed them that he was bleeding and they got annoyed with him and told him to go sit back down and wait.

We waited about 10 hours and then decided to go home.

My mother-in-law waited for nearly an entire year to have her neurostimulator that is literally wired into her spine replaced. She was bumped three times — one time she was literally ON THE OPERATING TABLE when she got rescheduled.

Yet you won’t hear complaints from Canadians about their healthcare system because it’s an unspoken taboo — but when every 1 in 20 Canadians is being killed by their government intentionally, it’s becoming hard to ignore.

@owenbroadcast This is the good version of an art project I did in hs. The rat is an inspired choice.

In Canada you cannot suggest that someone take their own life, even as a joke. This is considered practicing medicine without a license.

Last night as I was going to bed I discovered that someone on Reddit had released the full uncut footage from the Naudet brothers' 9/11 documentary (like literally just released it yesterday), around 13 hours' worth, and I stayed up all night watching it. My immediate takeaways:
• It's essentially a documentary about Civilization itself. A full day of pure crisis management caught on camera, teams of cops and firefighters running around improvising plans in the worst chaos imaginable.
• You begin to see how old, fat, red-faced mustachioed guys aged 45–65 are really the glue holding society together when all else fails. In an emergency, they're the ones calling the shots.
• There are certain scenes that look like a vision of Hell straight from Hieronymus Bosch or Dante, ghostly figures in an orange void over maddening, incoherent radio chatter (this chatter is ever-present and becomes almost the soundtrack to the film, a hellish choir).
• It's arguably the beginning of the social media era, since never before has a chaotic event been documented on camera to this extent. And it's being recorded by actual filmmakers with artistic instincts, who sometimes focus on small details that others might miss. Everything is being framed and presented with an audience in mind, which we're all doing with our smartphones every day now.
• On that note, the fact that it's all being captured by two French guys is interesting in a way I can't quite express. Made me think about the French-American relationship and their assistance to us in the Revolutionary War, an inextricable tie.
Very compelling stuff.

@owenbroadcast Why did I have this exact experience when I was 12 in my moms garden? The effort of looking it up in an household with no internet and a library I could only go to once a week, and this was the fruit of my labor???

Empty stretchers, disappointed first responders - a survivor hasn’t been plucked from the rubble since this morning, and nobody knows when another might be saved.

Mass celebrations break out in the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinians cheer, dance, and distribute free sweets.

Palestine is the only known place on earth to see overwhelming popular celebration of yesterday’s attacks, although Yasser Arafat condemned the attacks and denied responsibility yesterday.

At 10 AM, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference and announced that the Pentagon has “lost track of” $2.3 trillion, which is “unaccounted for.”

He goes on to highlight a number of other glaring inefficiencies in the Department of Defense.
