@MatthewSHarriso @JeffreyLuscombe Americans pay twice as much in taxes than Canadians for healthcare.

[Nick Coombe @NickCoombe]

@Jdcocojr61 @JeffreyLuscombe You spend twice as much in taxes for healthcare than Canadians (Medicare/Medicaid). And get nothing for it. You pay through the nose and suffer bankruptcies and your health outcomes are worse than Canada’s almost across the board.

[Nick Coombe @NickCoombe]

@DissidentMedia @JeffreyLuscombe Americans already pay twice as much as Canadians in taxes for healthcare (Medicare/Medicaid). Then you pay insurance on top of that.

If free is when something doesn’t cost money, what does it mean when you pay for something and don’t get anything in return?

@sfrierson @JeffreyLuscombe Americans spend twice as much as Canadians in taxes for healthcare (Medicare and Medicaid). Then you pay insurance on top of that. You’re getting bilked.

[Nick Coombe @NickCoombe]

@Tribble_Bait @JeffreyLuscombe This is not true. Americans pay twice as much in taxes for healthcare than Canadians - look it up - yours only goes to Medicare and Medicaid though. You literally pay higher taxes than Canadians for healthcare and get nothing for it unless you’re old or low income.

Last night, something incredible finally happened. @maddow did what no other news anchor on ANY MAINSTREAM NETWORK thus far has had the courage to do: and laid out how the Trump administration is doing EVERY POSSIBLE THING to assist Vladimir Putin & Russia. The Kremlin OWNS THEM.

[Nick Coombe @NickCoombe]

@Famine2030 @politicsusa46 Trump is taking your money and giving it to favoured groups. His favoured group are the ultra wealthy.

HOLY SH*T: Watch Pete Buttigieg completely humiliate Senator Scott Perry who didn’t know the difference between Climate change and SEASON change!

9/ Musk made his endorsement of Trump on July 13, 2024. The analysis suggests that Musk did more than merely give verbal support for Trump, but also changed X's algorithm on the same date to systematically promote his own and other prominent pro-Republican acounts. /end

1/ X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk's own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.⬇️

Sony could make billions on this.. and they should. All the while, they'd be giving us all an incredible creative universe to share games, art, and music.

Tim Sweeney of Epic called it "Meta-verse engine" and rightly so. In my 20 years as a professional artist, I've never used a tool as versatile and creatively inspiring as Dreams by the wonderful team at Media Molecule.

My latest explorations in the space between human creativity and generative AI have also shown me that Dreams could be an incredible tool in controlling the power of AI. So focused on the touch of the human creative that we could steer generative AI in a much more exciting direction than with any other tool I've seen.

Dreams is not only a marvel on a technical level, with sculpting tools and rendering technology that, in my opinion, is years ahead of the competition, but also in the way it allows creators to explore so many different aspects of creativity.

For those who don't want to create, there are thousands of amazing games and experiences in Dreams. With multiplayer and, a monetization system, potentially cross-platform support, as has been mentioned by MM on a few occasions, Dreams could be a huge success and a platform that could live for many years and place Sony in the absolute lead when it comes to user-generated universes.

If anyone wants to hear more about my take on why I think Dreams deserves more than being parked on the Sony backlot, don't hesitate to reach out.

In the meantime, share this video wide to show the world what they're missing out on.

A severe marine heatwave has emerged off the coast of Florida as water temperatures have soared into the 90s.

Multiple buoys in Everglades National Park are reporting water temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C).

Whereby a bunch of unvaccinated MAGAs describe the symptoms of Long COVID without quite making the connection.

They are sooooo close to getting it.

[The Real Truther @thereal_truther]

Presidential candidate @RobertKennedyJr recently went on television & made claims about the Covid vaccine.

Watch as I fact-check each one with evidence!

Was he being honest? You decide.
