Some local radio station hit me with "Kay Granger has died" as their lead into Under The Bridge. If you play Red Hot Chilli Peppers at my funeral I will haunt you. And if I can't will myself to ghosthood I need you to get revenge for me.

Now I know why I assumed Jared Leto already had allegations, I remember that he was sending fucking used condoms and dildos to Margot Robbie but it's ok because it's "method". We should castrate that man

As a reminder, leveraged buyouts are not only a predatory and frankly terrible financial mechanism for a healthy company with positive revenues, but also absolutely designed to make the rich richer and cut those companies to the bone. EA's stockholders got their payout for the privilege.

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

The one-to-one parallel of the Fauci figure in this story is particularly interesting, and even sadder that the Fauci figure committed suicide in protest. A propaganda paper called his suicide "a haven of moral cowards who preferred the shelter of death to public exposure of their shortcomings.”

Meet Dr. John Dill Robertson, the "utterly unqualified" head of the Chicago Health Department

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.

Sachs believed that the new administration was undermining patient care by making hiring and contract decisions based on political connections. Thompson and Robertson in turn accused Sachs of being financially extravagant, incompetent, and dictatorial. As Sachs resigned from the sanitarium he had worked tirelessly to build, Frank Billings, one of the most respected physicians in the city, called Robertson “utterly unqualified.” On April 2, 1916, Sachs committed suicide. For reformers and the medical establishment, Sachs was a martyr to grotesque political corruption. Although The Republican, a propaganda sheet literally published in an office in City Hall, sneered that suicide “occasionally has been a haven of moral cowards who preferred the shelter of death to public exposure of their shortcomings,” Robertson took a less confrontational tone after Sachs’s death. Still, he refused to step down.

in the Québécois version of King of the Hill (“Henri pis sa gang”), Boomhauer is named Papineau and sounds like this

My tax dollars help make insulin free for diabetics as well. I may never be diabetic or have need of insulin myself. That makes absolutely no difference to me. If it will help others survive, a little chunk of my salary is a very small price to pay. In short, get your head out of your ass.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
