For all its flaws (and they are legion), I'm mainly glad I work in the NHS because I have to have almost zero interaction with insurance companies. I appreciate it's the worst example so a sort of strawman but seeing Americans discuss in-/out-of-network doctors and deductibles just beggars belief.

This isn't the *worst* story and is relatively weak sauce compared to say the Mandelson allegations but I think the slow but sure distance that most atheist organisations have created between themselves and Dawkins is turning out to be wise.
Epstein is taking down some of the most well-known atheists one by one.

I appreciate to a great extent this is easy for me to say but...what are the Children's hospital supposed to do? They can't move the hospital.
The answer is probably better park and ride services but I don't think "buy the Q-Park multistorey" is a realistic option.

The whole 'Al Carns was in the army thing' is kind of hilarious. Similar vibe to when you hear that a politician is a doctor.
Like, being a doctor doesn't automatically make you smart as all healthcare professionals, many patients and crucially doctors will tell you.

A man killed his own daughter over an argument about Trump.
She asked: “How would you feel if I had been sexually assaulted?”
Her father replied that he had two other daughters so it would not upset him that much
Then he shot her.
There’s something deeply wrong with MAGA.

Having recently come off resident night shifts, with nights every other week for the past 2½ years, I am realising how drained I was.
I mean, I knew I felt shattered, and that it was unsustainable, but it is taking me longer to recover and recalibrate than I thought it would.

Well after seeing an AI ad about 8 year old getting melted gold poured on her head by her sister, I same the same shitty AI-gen 8 year old with AI-gen voiceover in an ad for a story about her surviving being thrown to piranhas by her father.

I find it interesting that the lesson many liberal/progressive friends learn from this is "people are stupid, all is lost" rather than "effective campagining must go further than shouting facts at people".
