A friend of my has a severely disabled child. He hit his lifetime max in health benefits before he turned 10. The ACA fixed that. People have forgotten or never understood what all went on before the ACA

Yeah, I think that’s the point - extravagance for the sake of extravagance on your dime - show those little people

That pretty much sums up the whole troll party they threw

This is one of my favorite quotes

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

There is obviously no nuance there but since I don't see a way to prevent that microtargeting it leads me to getting rid of the electoral collage. The algorithms are a whole other thing. Do you ban them? Can you regulate them? If so how? Do you ban under 21 from social media. Not sure on any of that

I also car a lot about media ownership. And all the algorithms and microtargeting, specifically for elections. Musk microtargeted areas for the 2024 saying to Muslims Kamala is married to a jew and to jews that Kamala was supporting the Palestinians protests at select college campuses.

The media is also fragmented along age lines. Facebook is mostly older people. TikTok has it's generation, so does Instagram and all the others. So something that goes viral might have lots of views but it's still a very narrow slice of the population and is generally within an age range

I've been trying to think of a social network the moved the news cycle and I'm not coming up with anything. "MechaHitler" I would argue was a news cycle about Elon Musk, no X. Media is so fragmented that there is no commons anymore.

So a troll party - very mature of him

How do you/we deal with propaganda- I don’t know. We have far fewer rules on speech- is it possible to force social media companies to remove false/misleading info - probably not- we don’t live in the world of Walter Cronkite is THE news any more

Social media is not going to change anything- it’s going to help people find like people to organize and protest- physically showing up is the road to change

Not to mention a lot (if not most) people living in those farming communities rely on SNAP themselves

May you live in interesting times is, I believe, a Chinese curse

People are stupid - just like allergic reactions the more you get the reaction the worse the reactions become - same with covid - constant or repeated illness makes you weaker not stronger

I keep thinking it’s like the Star Trek episode “Patterns of Force” and trump is the Fuhrer John Gill

Debbie @cinnabarne.bsky.social · 6d

All three??

Be sure to get to the section where He replaces every word in that post below with its polar opposite - it is dead on, and funny (laughing crying I guess?)

I choked up watching The Last Jedi- she did change the princess story and she was so talented and funny as an actress and writer - such an impact on me and others

yeah the "whole language" which is what I think it's called is dumb. I learned via phonics. Kids needs phonics. You want them to memorize words like "the", "a" okay but teach phonics.

I know I could get into trouble for posting the Antifa battle flag, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Amazingly he looks healthier as Epstein which is really creepy and bizarre

I read you so I know you are very empathetic and try to make people understand- that said most farmers voted for the guy not once but twice- he told them both times he was going to tank their markets - are they uneducable? I live in western NE - pretty much out of sympathy
