so… kill the concept of insurance. because why would i put money in an HSA if i could just put it in a regular savings account and pay out of pocket when i, a relatively healthy 40 y/o woman with no dependents, got sick? i know HSAs are pre-tax but who cares, we’re not talking tens of thousands here
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

the way that 87 year old, Pulitzer Prize nominated, National Book Award winning laureate Joyce Carol Oats gets under the skin of craven, noted-idiot Elon Musk is a sight to behold. He is so afraid of old women, women who are smarter than him, AND people who can dunk on him. I love this for her.
I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

BTW, every week I publish a newsletter about movie mysteries called #SilverScreenSleuths, but I'm thinking of tossing in some book recommendations at the end of each newsletter. Do you have a mystery series you'd love to have spotlighted? Link me a non-Amazon link:

You can absolutely nominate a couple for Best Flirts because there are some people Cary Grant starred across from who somehow managed to stifle his flirt and I can only fathom how frustrating that was for him, the King of All Flirts
May I nominate a couple? Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in Love Affair and My Favorite Wife.

Even I was wondering how they got their kerosene lamps to burn so brightly in the night scenes. What were they burning??? Jet fuel??? 😂
My very favorite niche joke to make about Witness is that I like to think all the Amish teens watch it while on Rumspringa and critique the accuracy.

This is true. Denzel in MUCH ADO, I simply cannot fathom how we did not re-write Shakespeare so Beatrice runs off with Don Pedro. F* Branagh. Have you SEEN Denzel Washington?

Tomorrow's #SilverScreenSleuths is about WITNESS and today I ask:
Aside from Harrison Ford, who is an absolute GOD TIER onscreen flirt, who are the best flirters to ever appear in movies? #TCMParty

i think someone just went by on my TL who doesn't think that socialized medicine works like health insurance, in that healthy people who don't need a lot of care *also pay into the system* in order to cover people who need more care

do you know how baseless your claims have to be for Alito to ignore an opportunity to hurt queer people
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

yup. i’m furious at my party but i have to stay registered to help change my party.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
