Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Young MC is 59 years old. Half of Milli Vanilli is dead, and the one left didn't sing on the original albums. No original member in the Commodores since 1989. Vanilla Ice's last hit was about ninja turtles. C + C trademark is owned by Freedom Williams, most original band is gone. What a joke. 020

Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Mark is being intentionally obtuse. Which healthcare systems? Medicare Who tells the doctors how much they are paid? Medicare Who pays the bills at high end hospitals? Medicare/supplemental insurance. Who tells patients if they can get care? Everyone gets care. That’s the whole fucking point. 210
Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 21/12/2025He’s not wrong. The structural problem with the ACA is that Republicans stripped out the public option and allowed for vertical integration in healthcare. So, no large public pool of insured to negotiate lower rates, and insurance companies can own everything from the hospital to the pharmacy. 200
Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 19/12/2025I've been enjoying @michaelianblack.bsky.social's writings for a while now, you should subscribe. This is a perfect explanation of what it feels like to live in America, especially in this moment. The "American Dream" does still happen, but it's a lucky shot in the dark, not something earned. 2333
Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Good thread. I have a 13 year old now, and it’s nearly impossible to explain to her how different our childhoods were. Questions like, “what did you do if you didn’t know something?” are a real rabbit hole, even though the final answer is “we just kept on not knowing it.” 350

Matt Thackston @mrthackston.bsky.social · 03/12/2025I’m not sure how to interpret tonight’s results in any other way than to say that winning a race in TN is impossible. Most unpopular President in my lifetime and we still can’t get within five points of a victory. Very depressing night, y‘all. 230
