  • The Punchline That Isn’t Funny

    BlackRock will probably win this lawsuit. Or settle for millions. Either way, they’ll extract value from a system designed to extract life from patients.

    They’re not just suing UnitedHealth — they’re suing the very idea that health insurance should provide health insurance. They’re fighting for their constitutional right to profit when people die and lose money when people live.

    Welcome to American healthcare, where caring too much is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    Dear Sweet Mother of God, this article does not hold back on the biting truth.

    It’s a worthwhile read with only one small mistake contained within:

    Luigi Mangione didn’t just kill a CEO

    There is no reliable evidence to suggest Mr. Mangione killed anyone. And I, for one, remain convinced he did not do that deed.


  • On the certain road down to incel-ism.

    Actual title as I see it on the article:

    Young US men are joining Russian churches promising ‘absurd levels of manliness’

    Some notable initial content:

    Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.

    There are other videos of Father Moses McPherson - a powerfully-built father of five - weightlifting to the sound of heavy metal.

    He was raised a Protestant and once worked as a roofer, but now serves as a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) in Georgetown, Texas, an offshoot of the mother church in Moscow.

    The disservice this manly man is doing to society is regrettable, because invariably, women are going to get hurt as a result of this traditionalist backwards thinking.
