Nicely played!

Also, thank you for the opportunity to inject three conic sections (counting the ellipsis) into the discussion.

Price of 40-year-old cancer drug raised from $50 to $768 a pill

This is circular reasoning. You can’t invoke corruption as the reason they are not approving drugs, then turn around use the nonapproval as evidence of corruption. @Medievalist’s phrase was “demonstrably corrupt”…unless he was just being hyperbolic, a demonstration would need more than this.

Okay, so I realize I’m overdoing it here, because I just got the “Consider replying to several posts at once” warning.

So, I’ll make this my last for a while

'Creep Sheet' keeps track of public figures accused of sexual misconduct

Power and time seem to be the recipe for a large majority of abuses small and large. I wonder if maybe a world without domination would be nearer to utopia than any work of fiction.

Sums it up really.

Please don't engage people after they've asked you not to

Yeah, I wouldn’t really call it a sockpuppet since there was zero obfuscating about the second account and the reasons for it. On both BB and in 3D life, when someone says “don’t talk to me”, it stings. Sometimes it even hurts. At that particular moment it doesn’t matter if they are the asshole, or you are. But if you insist on ignoring that, or you try to make HR, the mods,your teacher, whoever TPTB are in that situation say to the other person “you must let so-and-so talk to you”, then you’v…

How does this not have more likes?

Hold back those tears and start eating “sunions”

Yes, but can I tie one to my belt?

[LutherBlisset]

I think this needs context… And then the likes will fly.

I mean, yeah, but I’d guess that lots of us know the context already?

The Republican candidate for Pennsylvania's 18th District is a torture advocate who worked at Abu Ghraib

This is starting to feel like less of a “Race to the bottom” as it seems like the eternal slip into the event horizon of the GOP black hole, where time itself slows (for me) as I’m slowly shredded by the ridiculously powerful forces of absolute GOP shite.

This is how current events have me feeling lately… so very much this.

Trump to Guggenheim: lend me your Van Gogh? Guggenheim: Nah, howbout a gold toilet instead?

I too think that Trump should limit himself to AMERICAN artists for the White House. In fact, I would suggest the most American of artists, Norman Rockwell, and specifically his most American painting…[The-problem-we-all-live-with-norman-rockwell]

Academic audit of HUD budget finds $351 million in unaccounted-for spending since 1998

Genghis Khan and Mr Rogers have a total death toll of about 40 million people among the three of them.

Very interesting and informative time-line:

Short-termism led the Democratic Party to let unions die, and now they've lost their base

To explain the vulnerability of the US union movement you need to go further back. An extremely abbreviated and approximate history: Late 19th century: as with most other places, a vigorous union movement being strongly opposed by capital. One underappreciated factor is that the famous anti-trust laws of this “trust-busting” era were also used against unions; some would argue that this was their primary effect. Pre-WWI twentieth century: The rise of the Wobblies, the killing of Joe Hill, t…

I’m just going to put this here for reference; because this topic needs it; along with being killed with fire.

Really interesting read! It could have been written in a bit more accessible language but gives really interesting insights! Thanks for the link!

I’m not allowed to post the same thing twice, adding a extra line of text to the body may help?

'Multiple Fatalities' in Florida Mass Shooting: Suspect in Custody, 20+ Injured at Parkland's Stoneman Douglas High School

Yes. Honestly, this is the thing that has everyone livid. Most people would eagerly give up something they value if it meant not reading about another school shooting next week. I get that you don’t think gun control will actually have an effect. But this bit of rhetoric isn’t about whether gun control will have an effect, it’s saying, that even if gun control were going to have an effect, you wouldn’t be willing to make any personal sacrifice to stop this, and implicating everyone else as ha…
