Disappointing that the unsolicited
'how you doing?'
messages are appearing. I was hoping Bluesky would have sorted this.

People hate health insurance companies with a passion. They’re not laughing because someone died—they’re laughing because the system that crushed them finally took a hit.
Thou Shalt Not Deny People Health Insurance
Capitalism and healthcare do not mix.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
RP if you want the Monarchy gone.

Happy to see blue sky growing. Is it an echo chamber? Maybe, but it feels good to escape the echo chamber of X, filled with hate and bile spitting wankers, making us believe we are the minority. We are not, they just shout loud and their master gives them space to hate

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Reggie. He had tummy ache overnight and got me up 5 times. I left the door open, but he's scared of the dark, so he got me up anyway. He's now sleeping soundly.
