If you want your ACA coverage to be active on January 1, you must’ve enrolled by today. You can enroll up to Jan 15 but then coverage won’t start until February. Meaning they’re asking people to either go without coverage or take a chance on enrolling in a plan they know they can’t afford.
UPDATE: Susan Collins after meeting says goal is to announce a plan, with vote next year to restore expiring subsidies. She said it’s too late to get a bill signed before end of the year.

Never forget that those of us driving 15+ year old Hondas with not even so much as a rear facing camera are basically gods compared to these people.

Huh. Ian Kennedy Martin wrote Mitchell. He basically cut-n-pasted the "Buzz off, kid!" scene from a script he wrote for The Sweeney. Having seen the #MST3K version of Mitchell a million times, seeing this scene in a British context with two different actors feels like a fever dream.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.
He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.
He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner f’in year at the old Claus family. I got a carton of cigarettes. My old man (Santa) grabbed me and said, hey smoke up, Johnny
🧵 It’s the holiday season. Santa Claus is an icon of that history, but he wasn’t always reaching for a soda. 🎅

This isn't really satire. It's basically what happened, just written more clearly than we are accustomed to.
Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

The idea of framing this vainglorious billionaire lot as modern day versions of the gritty, hard-bitten, working class, manual laborers who, for a pittance of wages, risked their lives and used their hands to make real the skyscraper dreams of the wealthy and middle classes is….lunacy.

How much antiblackness are we supposed to deal with on a regular basis before nonBlack people will agree that the racism was beyond the pale.
What’s it gonna take. I want facts and figures. How many slurs per day should we have to suffer before it’s ok not to feel sorry for some dumb white broad.

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.
