Mexico’s new national health system aims to provide universal care. At a moment when US taxpayer dollars are being harnessed to destroy health care infrastructure abroad, Mexico is attempting to make a constitutional right to care into a lived reality.

Starting from when they started proposing state bills on ID verification for adult websites, it wasn’t about protecting children. It was always about mass state surveillance. Passing those smaller bills allowed them to prime legislators and citizens for this.

Schismatic lately?

Not doing record store day tomorrow. Nothing grabs me on the release list. Besides, last weekend I went to my local and bought 3 Monkees albums and the first Rolling Stones lp. I did my RSD!

This is true for my school.

have there been similarly culturally pervasive “everyone needs to start using this tech right now” pushes over such a relatively brief time frame as we’re currently seeing with LLMs? (This is a very genuine question)

Frankly, given the assholatry of this guy and his company I am surprised they were even given the award. Even if remotely deserved I'd have just passed over them at this point out of sheer spite and refusal to give this creature a platform and a mic.

I feel like I'm living in an invasion of the body snatchers movie

We're deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Alexander Morton, the voice of beloved Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Thank you for bringing Zoltan to life. The Continent is already missing you 💔

I don’t understand why Lucifer is fondling that doctor.

look we all know im jewish i got no horse in this race but i simply must say something without everyone getting mad at me

Bluesky is fine it's just that everyone has blocked you

tfw when youre in the mood for reginos but its forbidden

Do we ask too much of Bluesky?

Whole lotta Democrats are just Republicans who dislike the GOP's aesthetics

"I'm a Democrat. If poor people worked harder and stopped wasting money they wouldn't be poor anymore. Also I like recycling, hate country music, and find small towns vaguely disgusting. Vote blue no matter who!"

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this douchebag

A historic number of Senators voted to stop the transfer of bulldozers and bombs to the Israeli military tonight. And we will continue to grow and get louder until we have stopped arming Israel. Fund people, not bombs. Stop arming Israel.

The antitrust suit alleged that the company unfairly controlled too much of the live music industry at the expense of venues, artists and fans. The decision could reshape the industry. n.pr/41xsvdJ

just one more apology the culture owes to eddie vedder

little tip for journalists: just because our big dumb president SAYS the war with Iran is "close to over" every single day of the week for 8 weeks now doesn't mean it's newsworthy or important to report

My 5 film collection of all of these films came in last night from Kino Lorber! I enjoyed the first one last night, which is one of two I have seen and I have 3 unseen to enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVGI...

Converts. Cradle Catholics (even ridiculously lapsed ones like me) know.😏

Sometimes I eat salad and pretend I’m a forest witch gaining power from wet leaves and vinegar. It’s called wellness.

Our images of the Roman Empire are dominated by the monuments and lifestyles of wealthy urban elites. An important new history shifts our attention to the 90% of Rome’s population whose brutally exploited labor made it all possible.

Today at Jagged Time Lapse: Flashing back on my 1997 interview with British guitar legend Hank Marvin. danepstein.substack.com/p/hank-marvi...

i feel like rodney dangerfield would have a lot to work with these days. "guy sold me one of these self driving cars and it left without me. then he said he'd set me up with a model, turned out to be a computer! then my wife and the computer left me in the car"

Gather, my friends, and you shall learn the esoteric history of fridge magnets, and how they function as tacky little references for human memory:

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

It is blatantly true for a small number of the most wealthy, powerful, and prominent people, and that’s all it takes to demolish morale for everyone else Especially when prominent, powerful people are gleefully flaunting their crimes in our faces and going “you can’t stop me, neener neener neener!”

Dr. Trump to save the day…

For everyone who's like "Trump is too stupid to be the antichrist" I'm not a biblical scholar but I do think that, in general, and apologies for being a dork: we should stop thinking of evil as Darth Vader and start thinking of it as Kylo Ren. Evil is small and stupid almost always

Oh come on, dude. Please.

Fable still coming out this autumn, despite reports that developer Playground Games is "worried" about Grand Theft Auto 6 www.eurogamer.net/fable-still-...

It’s also crucial to keep in mind that the trades are still incredibly hostile to women and queer people, which is something Alex Karp is 100% aware of and approves of.

yes, saruman turned isengard into an industrial hellscape. but such actions were necessary to form the preconditions for the development of proletariat class consciousness amongst the orcs

Pope Leo: "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here I think is not understanding what the message of the gospel is."

I was thinking about a Maga Catholic ex-friend today. I mean how do you square Donnie's attacks on the head of your faith and also Donnie's blatant and ugly blasphemy?

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Americans quick to shriek that Magyar is a conservative might want to sit this one out and just let Hungarians celebrate tonight. Promise you Hungarians from the LGBTQ community who voted for Magyar know, and have understood opposition politics against autocracy better than you.

If you don't vote in November you should be kicked in the nuts!

The wealthiest 1% own 50% of stocks and the top 10% own 87%, per Federal Reserve. The bottom 50% of Americans owns only 1%, but we hear about the stock market constantly in media (even NPR and MS NOW). Seems like we could hear more about the opportunity costs of not providing universal health care.

Magyar calls on the figurehead head of state Tamás Sulyok, as well as all high justice officials and other high officials appointed by Fidesz to resign immediately or they will be removed by the new government. He also announces a constitutional reform and that Hungary is joining EPPO.
