Apologies to Matt Damon

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@jonlovett your opening to your podcast….yeah the sun will die in hundreds of millions of years. That was a weird cold open and it took away much of your credibility.

And Facebook is just using cookies and its own algorithms to build ad profiles. What would Tom from MySpace have to say about all of this? Social media used to be called “a phone call.” This shit sucks.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

You idiots realize that TikTok is essentially the Chinese government’s way of collecting data on US citizens and that Twitter is ruled by a tyrannical supervillain who controls land and space, right?

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

You want to talk about gas prices or the cost of eggs? How about the shit people NEED in order to survive? Fuck. I have $350,000 in medical bills and that was WITH insurance for 6 days in the hospital. Medicine is a business in America. Not something designed to actually help you

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

And the ACA doesn’t exactly make it easy to sign up and isn’t cheap either. $350/month and a $9,000 deductible on prescription drugs, so what’s the point? I know people who have died from this disease because they couldn’t afford to be seen.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

Cost of Type II Diabetes in America without Insurance:
- Frequent Doctor Visits: ~$250/per Visit
- Insulin: ~$800/per Month
- Prescription Medications: ~$650/per Month

Not to mention you have to have access to the resources to know this shit.

Therapy in the US
- Very useful
- So expensive that most people would benefit can’t afford it

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@orbislame THAT is a watch party.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@AllenJgallen99 Also a very different and insurgent time in our history. The Bill of Rights wasn’t written thinking about semi-automatic weapons. They used muskets. And still had insurgents using them nefariously. Get out.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

WHY does the US need AR-15’s for private citizens? Fuck. Me. Running.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@orbislame Which scares me about you.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@orbislame You’re starting to sound like a TikTok star

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

Fuck your algorithms.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@EricTheGosselin Murder them with a ruthless manner of death, have them taxidermied and placed menacingly on your windowsill. Works every time.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

For Americans, if you’re feeling alone then take a breath and call 988. They will help talk you off of the ledge.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@orbislame Pedro stayed at one of my hotels and drew me a panda with text that just said “Don’t worry. They’re just people.” Cool.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

Do you ever feel like a supporting character in a movie about your own life?

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@orbislame He was on the phone for a minute while the soundtrack while listening to Elliot Smith.

Also, call me back.

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

*insert grumpy post*

[Phildo Baggins + @vitaminp]

@EvolBrew For anecdotal reasons, sure.
