Went to see One Battle After Another yesterday at Corvin Mozi in Budapest. So we saw it with Hungarian subtitles
Funny detail: “Christmas Adventurer’s Club” translates into Hungarian as “Karácsonyi Kalandorok Klubja”, which has the initials KKK. So even more apt than the English name

Does anyone know of articles, or collections of articles, worrying about what the advent of the electronic calculator (especially the pocket calculator) might mean for citizens’ arithmetic and mathematical abilities?
Were such articles written? I assume so but I want to see what they said

Ridiculously, Medicare Telehealth coverage keeps are getting tied to continuing resolutions. Bills could be passed separately. But political bureaucracy. This means Medicare Telehealth waivers are kaput as of today. My latest for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's got bipartisan support—and millions of Americans need it. But Congress keeps failing to lock in funding for Medicare telehealth services.

Fortunately several states did make the telehealth flexibilities permanent for Medicaid, and private insurance won’t necessarily cease coverage. But yes, this is a dumb thing to not make permanent, and keep tying to CRs
