God I hope this one pans out. I've been jaded about the whole "5 years til the cure" thing for a long time, but the fact that they've gotten around the immune system shows genuine promise. Easily the flashiest breakthrough of the decade.

What's nuts is he had never played in a serious irl tournament before coming in and just sweeping the WSOP main event.

Imagine your buddy jeff showed up to the US open and won the thing.

Every few months, I make this tweet, but I feel like it's a point worth repeating: One of the greatest joys in my life has been surrounding myself in people who are infinitely better than I am. A bunch of cool, kind, and funny people have made my life better by being in it.

Yes, including you.

They're treating him like they're supposed to treat mass shooters, but then treat mass shooters like movie stars.

Realizing "AI can lie to you and isn't a source" is gonna be this generation's "you can't cite wikipedia"

Except gpt doesn't show you it's sources to follow to real information.

So, it's just statistical coincidence that the number of denials tripled under his tenure?

It's also statistical coincidence that they have a much higher rate of denial than other insurance companies?

It sounds like you've never had to argue on the phone for 9 hours to get your insulin approved.

Sometimes the right endo can make all the difference.

Usually, your insurance companies' drug formulary will specify a preferred brand. It'll also list required conditions for usage (i.e. doctor must say it'll help, and you'll actually use it)
Insurance sucks. Sorry you're dealing with this.

What I've learned from having to replace my broken transmitter is that your endo can usually yell at them better than you can. Make sure your pump is their "preferred" one and if it isn't your doc might need to give them a medical necessity form.

This might help, and I hope it does.

Yeah I'm trying my best to separate what I consider a legitimate critique of someone who I'm sure has good intentions from the idiots who are using this as an excuse to beat down on a woman. It sucks that this is a line I need to draw but that's where we're at.

Listen I think women are great and can do great things and a lot of the hate for this person is misogynists hating a woman for speaking but holy shit can we not do the "boys icky girls good" thing? There are problems with men but this doesn't help anyone lmao

My guess is he's got a hush puppy on it. Basically a device that keeps the slide locked until manually cycled. It lowers the noise by causing everything to go through the baffles in the suppressor.

He's also using it to grab brass on its way out rather than reach down to grab it off the ground.

The south Korea situation is gonna be a good test for bluesky as the replacement of Twitter in that it's good to see the platforms ability to disseminate information for an active news event.

The smoke is already clearing, but it's looking like bluesky was mostly on top of it. Good signs.

I know half the posts on bsky this week are people saying "yeah it's finally picking up" but it really does feel like the site's hit a saturation point where refreshing doesn't bring you the same 2 posts.

I think, barring technical problems, it's gonna go places.

I think TLJ suffered from having to work off of a different directors story and then going back to the same director after

It's a competently made movie, but just too spread out for it's own good.

Also the throne room fight is jank as hell, but there was definite potential

I got the Oreo Coca Cola. It tastes like coca cola with the aftertaste of a s'mores pop tart.

Truly a weird experience

I've been sitting on a game idea for a decade and have spent the last month trying to execute to no avail in a way I can only imagine is like trying to say something you can eloquently express in one language but can't find the words for in another.

Guess I'll keep trying. I owe that to myself.

Alright. I did it.

I'm leaving twitter and bringing my journalism here.

It's a major step - I got my start on that platform, but I can no longer support it.
