It’s funny to me when ppl complain about Columbus being cancelled because like… he got cancelled in 1500 Spain for being cruel. The people who did the literal Spanish Inquisition were like “wtf man” and arrested him
BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has reportedly executed a man and woman convicted of committing "immoral acts" inside a mosque in Mecca.
They were holding hands in public which is forbidden.
Zelenskyy: "I will continue to bomb Russian Data Centers."
Republicans: "Zelenskyy is attempting to interfere in the US midterms."
Me: What an odd thing to say.
THE WSJ HAS PUBLISHED A VIDEO OF REPUBLICAN TEXAS SENATE CANDIDATE, STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON, PARTYING IN DUBAI WITH TWO AMERICAN FUGITIVES INDICTED ON MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR EMBEZZLEMENT AND FRAUD.
This man poisoned his coworker for years.
He was trying to kill her, slowly and painfully, and she suffered all kinds of horrific health problems as a result.
He served ONE day in prison.
For attempted murder.
We are not nearly angry enough.
"Indicted on healthcare fraud charges" understates it, if anything.
They stole $300 MILLION through fake federal reimbursements of tests that never happened, and they also just directly stole $15 million more in cash from a low-income serving hospital.
paged the nurse, said “ I would like it documented in my chart that the doctors are refusing any kind of imaging, including, but not limited to ultrasound and CT with and without contrast” she said alright and went to document it. paged her again after doc came in and said i’d be going home soon. i said “ I would like the name and phone number of your patient advocate—“ and she immediately went “oh! doc ordered that imaging for you!”
Got hit with a sudden $2,900 emergency room bill last month. called the hospital billing office to ask for an itemized breakdown before paying a dime.
rep on the phone said: 'sure, we can mail that out, but your account is currently coded under our uninsured hardship discount.'
two days later, the itemized bill arrives in the mail. the total jumped from $2,900 to $8,400.
i called back completely confused.
the rep calmly explained: 'requesting an itemized review removes the automatic hardship adjustment. you are now billed at our standard chargemaster rate.'
a $4,600 penalty just for asking to see what services were actually performed. healthcare pricing in this country is an extortion racket where demanding transparency triggers a financial attack.
BREAKING: The diesel fuel Russia is now exporting to the United States at U.S. President Trump’s request may have originated in Iran, as Russian oil refineries are largely unable to produce diesel because of Ukrainian attacks.
Russia has been importing most of the diesel it needs from Iran. In September, thousands of Iranian tanker trucks were spotted in various regions of Russia, including Ryazan, carrying Iranian diesel.
Russia may be buying Iranian diesel and reselling it to the United States. If so, Trump’s attempt to lower U.S. energy prices and deceive American voters is putting money into the hands of Russia and Iran’s Islamic regime.
My uncle noticed his monthly water and sewage bill jumped from $85 to $290 over the last six months, even though his family didn't fill a single pool or leak a gallon.
He called the municipal water board to report what he assumed was a meter error.
The clerk explained that the city sold the local water treatment facility and underground main grid to an infrastructure equity fund last year to cover municipal budget deficits.
When my uncle asked why that tripled his rate, she told him:
"The private operator added a quarterly 'grid modernization surcharge' and an 'infrastructure maintenance access fee' to every residential account."
Nothing about the pipes, pressure, or water quality improved.
Private equity isn't just buying houses and daycares anymore.
They are acquiring local utility monopolies so they can bill working families a mandatory tax on drinking water and flushing the toilet.
If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets. 📉
So much talk about German patriotism… then the connection from Russia goes down. 🤔🇷🇺
the normalization of casual misogyny like this directly contributes to rape culture. if you’re against what happened at cornell, you need to be against this too.
