NYC bars are getting crushed by the rising cost of liability insurance High rates have become an existential threat to venues’ already razor-thin margins.

I thought it was a sluggish post-COVID economy killing all the fun spots in Brooklyn, but it turns out it's the insurance companies. gothamist.com/arts-enterta...

THIS WAS THE REAL DANGER. YOU BLEW IT.

This is such bullshit!

We could make this real fucking simple. Call it Medicare for All. Single-payer. Whatever. Insurance cos as government contractors or eliminate the sector entirely and pay direct to providers. I don’t give a shit. But access to healthcare is a basic human right and we should start acting like it.

Average healthcare costs in the US:

Giving birth? $18,000

Cancer treatment? $150,000

One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.

That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.

Cost in Canada? $0.

Cost in the UK? $0.

Cost in Australia? $0.

Imagine going to extra school for learning all the laws real good and then they stop using them. Hilarious.

I'm willing to bet that I've read more books ABOUT Elon in the last ten years than he has read in TOTAL

They’re disgusting.

Because many struggle with math…

“Several Senate Democrats are signaling a willingness to vote to reopen the government if they secure some final key concessions from the White House, a sign that a major breakthrough could be within reach amid the longest shutdown in US history, according to a person involved in the talks. The emerging deal would include a stopgap measure to extend government funding until January and be tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies. The deal would not include an extension of the expiring enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies — a key Democratic demand — but it would guarantee a vote in the Senate on the issue at a later date. There are no assurances that the extension of ACA subsidies would become law.”

November 9, 1989: East Germany opens checkpoints in the Berlin Wall, allowing its citizens to travel to West Berlin.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Literally didn't know it had opened and I see 2 movies per week

sadly, we are not

Get biblical with it!

Two sheep fight each other during the sheep fighting contest in the arena in Ranca Bango village, Garut Regency, West Java Province, on November 9, 2025. The art of sheep agility is a culture of the Garut people believed to have existed since around 1815, during the Pajajaran kingdom, and is still preserved to this day. This sheep fighting contest is regulated to only 20 headbutt matches to avoid fatal injuries or even death to the participating sheep. The winner is judged based on the sheep's health, stance, fighting technique, endurance, and courage. This sheep agility art tradition, apart from competing for attractive prizes such as refrigerators, washing machines, money, and motorbikes, is also a form of preserving tradition as well as a space to strengthen brotherhood between communities.
