Technologist by trade. Artist & Philomath by night. Everything is ephemeral but the gerontocracy is doing its best to prove that wrong.

Imagine being a social studies teacher and getting an angry call from a Conservative parent who doesn’t even understand their own ideology, and then having to explain it to them

Luigi Mangione on his way to his extradition hearing shouts: "This is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people"

@andrewlcgraphic @dankwilderson Yes - even bringing up out of pocket cost doesn’t make any sense because we pay so much more for premiums. They’re just doing obfuscation on behalf of the insurance companies

[Hamid Bendaas 🇩🇿🇵🇸 @HBendaas]

Good thing out of pocket costs are the only part of American health care spending. It would really muck this up if there were some other exorbitant fee, perhaps some sort of monthly payment whose name eludes me, which dwarfs out of pocket cost

@ACorduan @curious_founder Several emerging studies in the last 5 years are pointing to paracetamol aka Acetaminophen aka Tylenol “in vitro” behind the uptick. https://t.co/Oerr3XlAMS

@SMenendian In the early 2000s I wasnt a Magic noob but your articles leveled my game up. Decades later I stumble across your contemporary work & Im about to level up again with Belonging without Othering. Im glad the topics of yours are complimentary to my interests. Thx btw

Wow, Vivek Ramaswamy comes out for defunding Veterans' health care ($120 billion).

He wants to defund the $516 billion spent annually on programs with expired authorizations, and that's by far the biggest one (expired since 1998).

Voters don’t see billionaires as the elites. They see college educated liberals on the coasts as elites. The reason Bernie style populism didn’t land is because billionaires figured out they can undermine it by being socially right wing and working class would forgive their wealth and privilege.

"The Democratic Party has moved too far left"

No it hasn't and last time it actually did move significantly leftwards Americans liked it so much they gave the president 4 terms.

You need universal programs. You need to tax the rich. You need to boldly lean into class warfare.

If I had Elon Musk money I'd buy up some property around the bottom of Florida and found a city named Diqtip.

No one has even mentioned the courts yet so I’ll remind y’all shits going to get so much worse. Check history for a guide, and maybe do it this time around please? I’m tired of being doomed to repeat shit with y’all.
