I was foolishly invited to a swanky business awards dinner Tuesday night where I mingled with the Great and the Good and found myself chatting with a proud Trump voter. Look at me, all patient and understanding of the other side! Here’s a little thread of my adventure in reasoning 👇🏼

I love my family and friends but I’ve also spent a Christmas or two alone in my time and it’s supremely peaceful.
Love to Ana and all of you having a solo holiday ❤️💚

Happy holidays to everyone who's in solitude today. You get to decide what this post-solstice 24 hours is like! You could mourn or reflect, give gratitude or binge-watch, join your chosen family or cozy up with your animals. You may not be surrounded by people, but a lot of us are in the same place.

Why is getting the WiFi password in a boomer household always like being a contestant on American Ninja Warrior? Where are all these old passwords coming from? Why is their password the default one the provider gives you when you first sign up? Why can’t they login to their provider account?

Even if that were true (it’s not - the 1984 law was about standardizing federal funding), that’s 37 years.
This would mean that the US would have single UHC now if a couple states had started it in 1988.

See Canada. UHC started in one province in 1947. It took till 1984 to be formalized across the country. But hey it's easy !!!
And btw , they are only now working on covering prescriptions outside of hospitals

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

If you are in the LGBTQ+ community and spending the holidays with your chosen family, embrace it and shed any guilt you might be feeling. Building a life for yourself, thriving, surviving...It's what every parent should want for their children. Celebrate where you feel safe and loved.

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016.
He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.

still the most popular blatantly anti-capitalist film in the US
It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
fun fact: the film (but not the music or the story) is in the public domain, which led to an abridged version being widely played on network television in the 70s and 80s and spurred its popularity.
