  • Then maybe get that surgery you’ve been putting off NOW. Before January.

    I’m listing each medical institution I’ve worked with and associated with in the back of my brain and the only locations that come to mind as not non-profit are university hospitals. Most hospitals work the non profit angle. I encourage you to Google your 3 closest hospital systems and see what you come up with regarding non profit status.

    The university hospital issue strikes me as something we should all be considering right now, the contribution of university hospitals in practical hands on research via the educational half of their institutions. Many an experimental or top line not available elsewhere medical treatment is found at a university hospital. The other piece of university hospitals is they are magnets for degreed talent, including doctors, mid-levels, and nurses.

    If anything, I see him leveraging on it, like using section 230 to make YouTube not moderate anything.








  • Remember, the social media attacks and misinfo start now. That’s Authoritarinism 101. You really should listen to the 1A speech. He wants moderation of social media to end, plans to require a court order to ban accounts, wants shadowbans (how does he even know what that is???) to end, and is stating he will set “his” DOJ on anyone trying to “censor” things in such ways. His plan is to pull 230 from YouTube if they moderate content at all.

    Oh, and to punish any platform using the designation misinformation or disinformation.

    Essentially ban the platforms from discussing him negatively without banning the platforms by simply flooding them with trash.

    So I expect activity to that end to appear starting now and steadily worsen over time.




  • Ofc not, neither are men who rape, and yet here we are. In addition, here we are back to Reddit (that didn’t take long) with “not all men” in regard to anything potentially dangerous for women where men are involved, thus minimizing the greater problem in the name of stating something we all know as truth already. No one is talking about you or any man not involved in this behavior, why would you think they are? They’re only talking about men who say “your body, my choice”. By inserting yourself into that narrative regarding the bad “your body, my choice” men narrative, you derail it to talk about yourself instead of the problem at hand. If you’re not that guy, not saying or typing that phrase in earnest, then no one is referencing you.

    I don’t even think rapists are men, they’re more akin to rabid dogs, but saying dogs in that context would just confuse the topic.


  • Yea, but I don’t see that anger not growing given what’s coming. So how is this helping?

    The shit of it is there was deconstruction of Reagan-omics happening with Biden. But it had no optics. And no one was going to feel it in earnest in just 4 years. Tearing down is fast and easy. Building up takes time and a lot of work.

    I’m terms of uninformed. Had another conversation with a conservative relative. Sent them the vid of Trump talking 1A, the one with the big green crayon subtitles (???). They immediately FaceTime me to say “Nope, not watching it. Avoiding all of it just like I have for the last 3 months.”

    My point is, there’s a lot of uninformed happening across political groups.


  • I really can’t emphasize this enough. Look into all the nuances of gun ownership. Nothing crazy, just a handgun. There’s a lot to it to be safe and responsible, and it is not for everyone, but look into it. That’s all. Then decide. Looking into it also involves knowing your local law and what could happen to you if you fire it. Look into pepper spray, local and state law, but honestly, backsplash happens. Inhaling a lungful of that shit while trying to flee isn’t going to help. Tazers. Again, local regulation, state regulation, sometimes they are different.

    4b does not stop “your body, my choice” individuals claiming to be men.
