I think people can have reasonable criticisms of wealth and celebrity culture
And
There's an insane level of whataboutism and goalpost-moving that could all be avoided by simply saying, "Billie Eilish and I have different beliefs about animals"
RIP me, btw, who once sent the original turtle-part-of-the-choir twitter exchange to my pastor and church nurse; only after they read and reacted did I notice the handle of the author
when i was 13 i left a comment on a glee fanfiction claiming it was better than the great gatsby & i do think every bad thing that has since happened to me is cosmic punishment
Every professional organization in medicine should denounce the involvement of private equity in healthcare. They should send a clear message to their young physician members that PE is bad for hospitals, private practices, and patients.
They won’t do it, but they should.
I’m so fascinated and disappointed by the turn one of my once-favorite podcasts has taken. Their show provided a space to rethink Christianity in the wake of massive evangelical support for DT, and now they’re stumping for his number-one guy.

@SenBillCassidy I know so many people who spend so much time and money for that M.D., and you're just using yours as toilet paper? Jesus fucking christ.
Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI."
“There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.”

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, let me introduce you to Jesus’ mom:
“God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.”
-Luke 1:52-53
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
me knowing that time is arbitrary but people collectively choosing to believe in a fresh start is a beautiful reflection of the optimism of the human spirit
@kaliemazoo Threads seemed easier since it’s right there and connected to Instagram so I didn’t really have to start a new one, but is blue sky more where it’s happening?
