For those not in the know, this is Simone Giertz. She makes hilarious (she calls them "Shitty") robots on the internet.

A while back Simone was diagnosed with a brain tumor that she named "Brian". Simone had to undergo surgery to excise the majority of Brian. That campaign had the slogan "Evict Brian". However, It seems that Brian the tumor is starting to grow again. So Simone is going to undergo Radiation Therapy, this time. Good news is that this is all technically according to plan, and the doctors have anticipated this happening, and are prepared for it.

What a beautiful knife.

 THOSE WHO DO NOT THINK

That message ought to be on billboards across America.

^^10^^

It's unclear if Chinese regulators have issued a specific directive barring men from being shown wearing earrings, or whether TV stations are reacting to a shift in what is considered culturally appropriate. Last year, China's media regulator banned TV stations from featuring actors with tattoos. Depictions of "hip hop culture, sub-culture and immoral culture," were also banned according to Chinese state media.

RH: How fucking childish.

Seriously, we Americans have to do something about healthcare. Even you anti-communists must admit that there is a real problem. So, let's hear some of your solutions.

But without reinventing the wheel couldn't we just pick one of the hundreds of universal healthcare systems in every developed country and just copy it? Maybe include that if you can afford it you can pay for your own and get what you want, like shorter wait times.

I don't care how we do it, I'm just tired of old people losing their homes when they get sick.
And we Americans pay more than anyone in the developed world and yet we don't cover everyone. People complain that Medicare for all will cause your taxes to go up, but you wouldn't have to pay for insurance.
