The thing is, it's not going to just harm those on Medicaid. It'll harm all of us by shutting down clinics across the country, particularly in rural areas. It'll also cost us millions of jobs and harm the economy. The only ones who win are rich people who can afford private hospitals.
The original House bill would have led to about 10 million more uninsured people, according to CBO. The amended version that passed would lead to more people losing health insurance. If this bill gets enacted, it would represent the biggest rollback in federal support for health care ever.

"‘Defund,’ if it were properly talked about in the mainstream media, would be referred to as an evidence-based public safety program.”
The police aren’t very good at solving crime, nor do they reduce crime. We need to completely decouple “police” from “crime reduction.”

The current trending one about how his producer sent a katana to Weinstein. May I never forget the meaning of pain.

One piece of context that’s often missing from the “insult to life itself” quote is that Miyazaki said the simulated zombie movement in the AI demonstration was mocking people who struggle to move like his disabled friend
On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.
