The best way to minimise fraudulent claims in your healthcare system? Universal public healthcare.

I think the point Ed Sheeran was missing was that our outrage wasn't really about Gaza and Israel as such. It was about the idea that a billionaire capitalist who owns a stadium can ban an artist from it because he doesn't like something he said.

Why am I supposed to be impressed by a machine that can run faster than Usain Bolt? I drive to work in a machine that goes twice as fast as Usain Bolt.

Turns out the measles virus won't bend to RFK Jr's will any more than Iran will bend to Trump's will: "more measles cases have been reported in the United States in the last two years than in all the years from 2000 through 2024 combined."

Do the Germans have a word for when a political movement that has revelled in celebrating and boosting climate denial, starts wilting and flaking out in the record-breaking heat on what should be their proudest day?

If the capitalists are going to insist on replacing all our jobs with AI then, yes, I think a Universal Basic Income is the least they could do.

What exactly does the "do your own research" crowd have in mind when the only research that could possibly illuminate the question is a large-scale clinical trial that has already been done?

How about a new reality TV show where the teenage tech bros who slashed US foreign aid last year have to travel to Congo and Uganda to help contain the ballooning Ebola outbreak that has gotten away from the under-resourced local health officials? We could call it "Survivor".

In New Zealand when we say our politicians are behaving like schoolchildren we mean they’re taunting and yelling at each other in Parliament. In America when they say their politicians are behaving like schoolchildren they mean they’re cowering under their tables hiding from an active shooter.

There is no logical reason for drugs to become MORE expensive over time and every reason for them to become LESS expensive. The cost of penicillin fell 90% between 1945 when it first became widely available and 1950 as people worked out more efficient ways to produce it. (1/2)

In a gift to future war crime prosecutors Pete Hegseth has proudly stated that under his leadership the US military is pursuing a policy of "MAXIMUM LETHALITY, NOT TEPID LEGALITY". I believe the legal term for this is "confession".

Just to simplify the task for the US Government: you can safely assume that EVERY visitor from overseas has said or written SOMETHING disparaging about Donald Trump at some point in the last five years, so it may be simpler just to close your border.

RFK Jr is in danger of getting his long sought after controlled trials for vaccines! West Coast states are forming their own alternative to the CDC to ensure best practice public health. Meanwhile Florida is providing the "control arm" by actively discouraging its citizens from getting vaccines!

Major media once thought a Trump dictatorship was impossible, so they didn't warn the public about it. Major media now see the dictatorship arriving, so they're afraid to warn the public about it.
