So our insurance tried to deny my 3 year old amoxicillin for an ear infection last week.
The pharmacist had to call and argue with them. For a med that had been standard for decades for an illness that every child gets.
But tell me again about how American healthcare is the best.

My 3-year-old has to be the only kid in America waiting not for Santa Claus in the @6abc.bsky.social Thanksgiving day parade—but @kenjennings.bsky.social . (He then demanded we listen to old episodes of Jeopardy all the way to his great grandmother’s house.)

I want you all to know that Lexapro made me gay.
I started taking lexapro around the same time I started coming out. My best guy friend surmised that it was a side effect of my new medication.
And you know it’s true because he’s a doctor*.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

I want to be clear. No one is mad that Jimmy Kimmel was canceled because he’s him. His fans are probably disappointed but that’s not why people are freaking out.
We are freaking out because the government threatened his company with destruction if they didn’t fire him.

We know. We’ve known. We’ve fought. Don’t let MAGA own the narrative. We know and we do not consent. This is a willful descent into tyranny and genocide on the part of Trump’s supporters.
We knew Hitler's evil before the Holocaust. We knew slavery's evil before emancipation.
And today we know Trump's evil, well before whatever his one worst thing will be.
Yet the ppl who supported him or capitulated or did nothing, they will take comfort in "no one could have known".
