If you feel compelled to try to argue with me about whether Nick Sirianni is a good coach, let me instead offer you some coach-firing wisdom: it doesn’t matter if he’s a good coach or not because football is about feelings

It’s so funny that Nick Sirianni can’t manage to get fired even though everyone wants to fire him because Howie Roseman is too good at his job

The new Republican plan same as the old Republican plan: Fucking die already.
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…

They’re not concerned with affordability. The whole reason the ACA exists is to get insurance to people who were otherwise denied coverage for preexisting conditions or shunted into terrible, high-cost plans with poor coverage. It was to ensure access to preventive care to reduce catastrophic need.

Dismantling ACA isn’t about punishing insurance cos. The subsidies Dems were haggling for are tax credits. That’s our money. Not theirs. They’re talking about health savings as pre-tax dollars like your 401k. This is deregulation. Letting insurance cos resume denying coverage and selling junk plans.

Like I explain to my beloved niece regularly, the SMART acronym can help to plan & achieve goals, so what can you do that is:
Specific,
Measurable,
Achievable,
Realistic, &
Time-oriented? 👀
For me, while still underemployed, it is as small as amplifying fundraising on social media at least daily! 🫂

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

Like her take down of Elon works partly because it doesn't seem like she was trying to eviscerate him. It seems like she was just ruminating.
And we can delight in that fact that this woman who sometimes says shitty things hit the bullseye this time.

I mean you can’t justify why the global south is poor and the capitalist imperial nations are rich without sounding racist.
Is it any coincidence that a large majority of anti-communists also happen to be racist?
