Many , if not most, people here think our health care system is really good and not rationed due to constant propaganda from insurance companies, many actually fear change in the system which is dumb because we have one of the worst systems

Found the most #fungal tree I've ever seen earlier this week - look how COOL it is! Like something in a fairytale. Highlight of my walk. Cheers friends. #mushtodon #fungiverse #fungi #mushrooms #awalkaday #mosstodon #honeymushrooms #armillaria
A dead tree stands perhaps 12 feet tall, covered in moss and bright orange mushrooms.A closer look at the top of the tree, showcasing perhaps fifty mushrooms.The side of the same tree, where about twenty mushrooms can be seen growing from the shaggy mossy bark.An upward angle from the base of the tree, looking up at all the neat little layered caps.

Why can’t we just say: “Republicans Get Caught Lying About Talarico”
Republicans Promoted a False Rumor That James Talarico Was in Ohio

The Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas spent nine days off the trail with what he and his campaign said was a bad case of the flu. His opponents fueled rumors, including one that spread widely before it was debunked.

Headline and text from article:
MAGA’s Talarico ‘Bombshell’ Gets Even Worse as Their Scheme Unravels

Elon Musk and his MAGA pals pounced on a supposed bombshell. Then came the inconvenient facts—and some revealing admissions.

by Brett Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network
5 hours ago

Elon Musk and a collection of prominent MAGA influencers rushed to spread an explosive accusation about Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. But the supposed bombshell quickly blew up in their faces, falling apart under the kind of basic scrutiny that apparently escaped the people promoting it. But the more we look into this, the more apparent it seems that was the point.
