Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

I will forgive the guy bellowing at the screen throughout the movie tonight, I will forgive him just about anything, because the first thing he said, in reaction to Superman's first entrance, which is very dramatic and is followed by a hush of silence, was:

The flash flooding in Central Texas is absolutely heartbreaking. Michelle and I are praying for everyone who has lost a loved one or is waiting for news — especially the parents. And we’re grateful to the first responders and rescue teams working around the clock to help.
