Quote by Anthony Bourdain: โ€œOnce youโ€™ve been to Cambodia, youโ€™ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia โ€“ the fruits of his genius for statesmanship โ€“ and you will never understand why heโ€™s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Miloลกeviฤ‡.โ€

Iโ€™d like to see if there will be a chance to comment publicly too. They really do not want to talk about it. Gives away the game when theyโ€™re trying to push ahead something like this just to please a handful of donors.

This is so important. Itโ€™s an issue that is deeply important to me as a trans woman of color who has experienced homelessness.

Now that Iโ€™m not in that place, I try always to look out for people who still are.

In fact itโ€™s important to film police in all interactions.

The figure on the left has short hair, the figure on the right has long hair, below them are flames represented by abstract shapes and half-tone, and behind them are dripping, warping and glitching lines that start on the upper left corner and bleed into a representation of recognizable Chicago architecture on the far right of the frame. The two posters are identical with the colors inverted.

In Scotland, hundreds of hospital wards have been forced to close due to COVID outbreaks in the first seven months of this year. They ended testing last year and ended their mask mandate earlier this year. Pretending COVID is over equals constant disruption.

It's a travesty that the Korean War is known as "the forgotten war"โ€”US involvement was nothing short of genocidal. Even after dividing Korea and separating 10 million families, the US imposes a travel ban today preventing 100k Koreans in US from visiting their families in DPRK.

I suspect the reason why so many are children is because our state legislature has been fighting tooth and nail against Medicaid expansion passed on the ballot. All the more reason CMS use its authority and not just send another polite letter about it.

I canโ€™t recommend this episode enough to understand the unfolding disaster of Medicaid โ€œunwindingโ€. Reporting shows 32,000 have already been disenrolled. Roughly the same percentage are โ€œadministrativeโ€ but with an even higher proportion of children at 50%. missouriindependent.com/2023/07/27/k...
