Just received a letter from SSM Healthcare. They may drop UHC as an insurer. Making SSM out-of-network in St. Louis.

Naturally, I search to find out why: www.uhc.com/ssm

Absurd writing that slings numbers without any data to back it up.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Are there some of us not unpicking intertextuality? This explains a whole lot.

Thanks @nopunincluded.com for another great thinky piece.

Watched Frozen and Frozen 2 with my son, and every time Elsa’s powers increase she gets a new dress.

Do you realize what this means?

Listened to the first episode of the TelepathyTapes. The glaring absense of discussion on previous work. The fact this was a top podcast and there wasn't an uproar about parents using their kids as ouija boards is horrendous.

Just found out about TelepathTapes podcast. What a bummer. Does this not scream scam to people? No alarms bells that "evidence" is behind a paywall on the slick website? Even the trailer shows the parents' hands on the kids backs and wrists as they "communicate".

The reflection isn't very flattering.

If you’re nostalgic for 2010’s emo/indie rock. It has everything, samples of telephone calls, guitar breakdowns and that longing for those high school punk rock shows.

It seems like threads is taking off, but I can’t help but remember that FB did nothing about ethnic cleansing on their platform.

Twitter is now owned by a guy who notoriously mistreats his workers also not a great platform to support.

It is difficult to exist ethically on social media.

Today I get my first MRI for my knee of all things. They asked me if I was claustrophobic, but not about if I am comfortable with a 1 ton machine spinning quickly around my body.
