Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

How much are you going to pay doctors?
Which current hospitals get shut down ?
What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?
How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?

Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.
NEW: Bari Weiss addresses her decision to hold last night's CECOT story on the CBS News morning editorial call: "Our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else..."

Hiring Bari Weiss was the first major decision that the Ellisons made after acquiring Paramount. Neither father nor failson should get his hands anywhere near Warner Brothers Discovery.

Great piece from a few yrs back about how full of sh*t Dems are about the climate cliff we’re a few years away from falling off of.

“That Was Me, People”
The new U.N. report confirms that a repeat of Obama’s climate denialism will doom humanity — and at least a few Democrats may finally recognize that.

I was bored last night so I watched an episode of OG Star Trek where they picked up Charlie, a traumatised teenager with godlike abilities who only wants people to love him, but is incapable of doing anything funny or nice, so he just destroys everything in fits of rage to hide his shame, hey Elon

Can't stress this enough - gentlemen. If you have black or very dark hair and you're going gray, DO NOT DYE IT. When actual billionaires can't find dye that looks real, you have no hope. Just own it. This dude looks 20 years older than he would if he just let it happen.

I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
