The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If there's any consolation I don't begin to understand"

Since it seems like everyone is posting one of the two clips about the AEW "FUCK ICE!" moment from last night's "Last Week Tonight" top story segment on HBO in isolation, without context or the other clip, here's an edit that includes both AEW clips in their proper context from the segment.

I had my first colonoscopy last year. Also my second and my third. And an endoscopy. I’m a polypy boy!
I’m fine, but likely would not have been if I put it off rather than going the first time my doctor recommended it.

I encourage everyone to say yes to a colonoscopy when the time comes. The diet prep is annoying for a few days but the procedure itself is a breeze.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

For all the constant fucking hand wringing about protests blocking access to ambulance care, a thing that does not happen, the pigs kill us and force our healthcare professionals to watch us die publicly

“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”

November 2000, Florida. Some guy named Chad.
You have a Time Machine. Your mission is to save America. You can only do this once, and it has to be done after the date of your birth (to make sure you don’t get butterfly effect’d, etc). In this HYPOTHETICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT ABOUT SOMETHING INPOSSIBLE who do you kill, and when?
If I a Time Machine existed (which it doesn’t making this post unambiguously speculative and hypothetical) the highest profile individuals to knock off to preserve American democracy probably Murdoch, Gingrich, Koch’s, and Zuckerberg.
