.@POTUS on Iran: "We hit them hard yesterday and we're going to hit them again hard today... And we'll see what happens with the deal. We were really close to a deal — but they keep tapping us along. They keep playing us for suckers because you know what? They dealt with some very stupid Presidents."

call me crazy but yea im critical of a company that misidentified a school as a legitimate military target and killed 168 kids

you call that innovation?

[Cristopher Bermúdez @Crisb2708]

@StockSavvyShay You may be as critical of a company’s fundamentals as I am, but people like Alex Karp truly believe in innovation, and that’s their top priority. And that will always be admirable.

@SqldbMaster @tbonier @nickshirleyy Why did you just so happen I join twitter in 2022, anon?

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@RonDeSantis except Trump ran on a campaign to fix spending yet had only accelerated it while cutting benefits and starting a war that’s directly responsible for the current inflation

If you can’t admit that you’re lying or stupid and shouldn’t be governing a state

one of the most egregiously bullshit decisions I've ever seen

@fadethecrowd @YetiMoose @DarrigoMelanie There are some extraordinary historical examples of lower income individuals generating that kind of money through years of austerity but that’s not realistic for the majority of individuals - especially now with the rising costs of housing, food etc..

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@fadethecrowd @YetiMoose @DarrigoMelanie this is an absolutely insane and out of touch statement

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@fadethecrowd @DarrigoMelanie No, I’m saying the amount you’d cut would be insignificant and wouldn’t prevent solvency. Removing the FICA cap is probably the only way.

You’d have to cut benefits to the top 30-40% to make the math close.

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@ThommyTox Probably to some degree, but not like this.

Have to go back to the Gilded Age to find any comparable, and even it really isn’t because os social media and propaganda

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@ThommyTox on to the next

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@mental_steak @FreezeFriars @CurryHicksSage that doesn’t even make sense

incredibly insightful for everyone treating addiction as well

especially #1, I think this is lost on most individuals

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

Just had our first Waffle House experience at 1am. Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10/10, we will be coming back.😋

Major alcohol study just released (after unexplained delay from HHS):

Even 1 drink per day linked to higher risks of serious illness & premature death - including liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, and injuries. No net health benefits found at any level.

This taxpayer-funded review adds to evidence that alcohol harms start low. It’s sparking fresh questions about past U.S. dietary guidelines and potential industry influence.

Key takeaway: Less is better for long-term health! https://t.co/Xq1Q5BV2u3

Morocco, in 1777, was the first county in the world to recognize the United States as a sovereign nation.

@Cfrost716 @PuckFupett69 Ok internet tough guy

[fremdschämen and schadenfreude @EpaterX]

@FreezeFriars @CurryHicksSage I think his point is no ice cream is worth 60 million a year, and I tend to agree

If you had actual physicians or hospital admin in charge instead of the brainworm litigator, you’d know this is almost impossible to publish for emergency services

🛑THE GRACE PERIOD HAS ENDED🛑

Hospitals: post your real prices and comply with federal law.

Patients deserve transparency. Hospitals that continue hiding prices will face consequences.
