pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

🩺 Janet from IL has a medical implant that costs her $580 a month - in addition her $900/mo insurance premiums and $350/mo supplemental insurance for her husband.
Without ACA tax credits, she can't afford that implant, but she definitely can't afford a $36,000 surgery to take it out either.
