A large person, in Canada. Father to two, smaller persons. Wife guy. Dual citizen, a modicum of discipline.

Proud liberal. Hobbesian. Unix apostate, Classic Mac OS revanchist, tilter at path-dependent windmills. Emacsist.

I can see how Dave Grohl might be exhausting but honestly for a punk kid made it big, I like how he just goes and plays what he wants

TERF Island is indubitably a shithole country; but their Christmas song tradition is, in fact, aces.

I am someone who was literally bankrupted by medical debt in the States but now lives in Canada. I’m pretty familiar with the insanity of the US health care system.
And it’s not all villains! It’s doctors. It’s pink collar women of colour who work in the system as it exists!

There’s this weird reluctance to say “this is good and we should do it” about a lot of stuff, and the dodge that it’s up to Economics as it Economics is Physics is pathetic. Do the right fucking thing!
The point of universal coverage isn’t cost savings because it simply isn’t a thing that matters. And universal coverage will consume as much money as the public fisc decides to spend. It is not the case that single payer means “no triage”; it just is a different answer to “who triages”.

I live in Canada! I am a long time single-payer voter! But it’s not a panacea!

Best movie ever made about thrifts by a hundred miles. Plenty of good stuff about chartered banking but S&Ls get short shrift. Not from Capra.

Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.
