‘You Realize the Whole System Is Broken’
Seven musicians open up about navigating the complications and cruelty of American health care: ‘You realize the whole system is broken, religion is broken, government is fucking broken — you’re on your own.’

My feature on how musicians deal with the American medical system is here, with artists detailing their struggles to get decent care for cancer, gender-affirming care, chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and catastrophic injuries. This one is important to me, so please take a few mins to read it!

Famously, what people loved most about the Biden era was being told what they were experiencing at the grocery store was not actually happening.
Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied. Because they talked about 'Oh, prices are up' -- no, prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially."

Firing workers then going after the union is an unsettling escalation. A step beyond “until morale improves, the beatings will continue.”

popped onto FB and I see Long Island friends saying their home values skyrocketed because of the forthcoming NYC exodus. Because the Upper East Siders are headed to Commack, I guess.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Projecting strength, toughness, grit, Chuck Schumer knows what it takes. He just doesn’t get that he doesn’t have any of those qualities.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

I'm worried about hitting my SAG/AFTRA earnings and losing family health insurance so here's my pitch:
Contracting vocals for a commercial, theme song, animated project, etc? About to direct a singer "gimme Josie & the Pussycats" or "more 90's alt-girl!"?
I'm awesome at that and totally for hire ♡
