Hey AoNZ, same deal here. Little Simeon would LOVE a USA-style healthcare system. Paying tax is like a massive buying co-op. It makes sense. And so does renationalising strategic assets and creating a ministry of works. ✅️✅️💚 #NZPol

We made an episode of Public Health is Dead about what a good CPHO would be and what they definitely wouldn’t be, all through the story of SARS. www.publichealthisdead.com/episodes/how...

Re-Watching Popcorn (1991)! I was born too late to enjoy all the novelty promotions that movie distributers used sound amazing. Shocking seats, smell-o-vision, costumes & of course 3D! Nowadays we have what...$50+ popcorn buckets? It's not the same...even though some buckets are pretty cool!

Yet another indictment of the United States health system that James Van Der Beek’s wife and six kids need a gofundme because his unsuccessful cancer treatment destroyed them financially www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

This makes no sense. People need to stop assuming there’s a huge genius strategy behind this. It’s effectively obeying in advance, it empowers evil people with intelligence and guile they lack. They’re doing this because number went up. GPUs are not helpful in that way.

what is up with anglo countries and having governments that want to gut the post office? of all the public services they could despise, they choose the post office!

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

No surprise that the Trump administration is currently using Mike Tyson, who was not only convicted of rape but also defended by Epstein’s lawyer, as a symbol of health and masculinity. It’s the rape administration.

@theonion.com is so worth the subscription for this

It's so weird that I can't stop thinking about the 1987 movie "Matewan" with James Earl Jones and David Strathairn about working-class people standing up against private corporations who employ death squads to rob them of their rights and dignity. It's a mystery. Why this movie? Why now? I dunno

I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward. spitfirenews.com/p/even-the-m...

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

“The idea of a sclerotic Europe facing a supposed American El Dorado, which serves as the foundation for the deregulatory offensive that currently prevails in Brussels, rests on three myths.” Great piece pulling apart the myths designed to make us believe the US is so much better than Western peers

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

one of the worst things about so many canadians being glued to cnn and msnow is that they import that approach to politics, such that you can’t ever criticize the libs or carney because they’re your team even when they absolutely need to be pushed to do better.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
