Theo & James (ex-best friends, current costars) are forced to fake date to save their struggling tv show Arctic Rescue. They say fake it ‘til you make it in Hollywood, but there’s no faking the chemistry between them. Will it be enough to convince the producers to save their show?

THE PAIRING X 911 (TV)

Theo & James are ex best friends & estranged costars. When a polar bear incident turns into a HR nightmare, to save the show, they fake date to convince the producers *all is well*. But as the line between fiction and reality blurs, can they fake it to make it? #DVpit #A #CR

The median number of Measles deaths among children in the US for the last 50 years has been 0.

That's the benchmark. ANY more is a failure of policy. Bobby is currently a failed Secretary.

You cannot yadda-yadda the life of a child that should not die.
RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. We obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs.

United used an algorithm system to identify patients who it determined were getting too much therapy and then limited coverage. It was deemed illegal in three states, but similar practices persist…

"The Bechdel Test", "Bury Your Gays", these are concepts meant to point out patterns in popular culture, not to evaluate individual works of art. People who can't grasp this cling to shit like TVTropes because it saves them having to think.

Judge Wilkinson is an appointee of Ronald Reagan and has been on the shortlist for previous Republican presidents for nominations to #scotus.

This is as emphatic of a warning it gets for everyone and a notice for Roberts SCOTUS.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

I grew up in Alaska so I’ve got some weird skills:
1. Fishing—as a food source, could catch, fillet, and process.
2. We had an industrial greenhouse so I could handle a 20x60 greenhouse
3. We raised chickens. I hated them. But I do know how to take care of them.
4. I have carpentry skills
Fun hypothetical:

We talk jokingly about “oh I would live on a commune” but what skill would you actually bring! Let’s say we have electricity, water can be gotten, but what tangible skill would you bring that would make you of value?

I’m curious! And no we cannot all be educators.

Hello lovely Americans, here’s my pitch to you.

Don’t talk about how Canadians and Europeans can save America from ourselves because we can’t do it.

They’re not here for that. They’re here to save themselves from us.
