Our plan went from about 2k a month—hellishly expensive enough—to almost 5k. (Yes, we’d be paying more than 50k a year if we kept the same plan). We’re hunting for other plans that will at least cover my oncologist.
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

I love this idea:
“anytime a billionaire is asked for public comment on anything, someone with < $1,000 in the bank should get equal time to offer a rebuttal.”

This was shown to me at Tbubz, and impressed me enough to send the creator around to talk to a list of artists. Kickstarter for this coming soon, and I think you should sign up.

I decided to treat myself to just 2 fingers of bourbon before bed because I was leaning into cozy vibes. And I was like, oh there’s just a little bit left in the bottle, I can just top it off and finish the bottle.

Every entertainment news article covering Poker Face's cancellation seems to have run with the idea that Peter Dinklage would take over *as* Charlie Cale but the actual quote doesn't seem to support that as the case? I think the idea is a new actor would just play a new lie-detector?

For me off the top of my head is Nick Hornby’s ABOUT A BOY.
The scene where Marcus’ mum is crying at the breakfast table and the 12 year old boy has a whole running monologue in his mind that boils down to “oh no now it can happen anytime.”
Masterclass is using humor to emphasize sadness.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

The Princess Bride showed me that books could be more than just third-person narration
and there’s nothing wrong with third-person narration!
but the metatextual way it tells its story blew my fuckin’ teenager mind and opened me to a world I didn’t even know could exist

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.
Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
