Old man. Thrice retired. I’m not very good at it, since I keep flunking it. Now a Legal Services Corporation Attorney, trying to save people from losing their homes. Also, even though I’m old, I’m still not a “grownup,” whatever the hell that is! 🤣🤣

I especially love how teeth and eyes are ~special~ body parts that need special insurance above normal insurance. Totally sane system. No notes.
My dental insurance is supposed to cover fillings at 80%, but I've been getting bills for hundreds of dollars each time I visit the dentist. I finally looked into it and learned that 80% applies only to silver fillings, not white fillings. American medical insurance is ridiculous. 😐

When the different factions here grift money they can’t repay without turning on one another, that’ll be them reenacting the Fourth Crusade.
Far-right groups are co-opting the aesthetics of the Crusades for their own objectives, transforming an obsession with feudal justice into a campaign for a White Christian nation.
Why We Should All Be Worried About "Crusadercore"
This online trend equips young, White men with a historically bastardized visual lexicon — one that gives new credence and religious authority to far-right bigotry.

saw one other soul masking today and my first thought was “thank you,” but that’s also because I already spend too much time pissed off about the state of the ongoing pandemic, and I don’t only think about that when I see masked people, and I would never take it out on them/us
Wrote about how disappointing it is that Jon Stewart punched down on people masking at @motherjones.com, when people should mind their own business and leave mask wearers be. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the Daily Show host say he's a hypocrite.

The state mental hospital near my hometown in Northampton MA lost a court battle in 1978 and *had* to let people out, which did not go as smoothly as well-intentioned petitioners might have hoped.
I'm sure that Reagan was involved somehow

It wasn't just Reagan, either. I live in Canada and the same thing happened in the early 1970s. Group homes were supposed to take the place of the institutions, but few of them were built in relation to the number that were necessary.

At some point we have to deal with how online political subcultures have long been toxic, antagonistic spaces where trivialising violence got clicks and acclaim; and that a worrying number of people in those spaces used language that was unacceptable in anywhere else they frequented, on or offline.
