The CEO of an amoral health insurance company has been assassinated, leading to celebrations from an angry populace, moral debates, and a citywide manhunt. Critics are calling it "preachy Oscar bait that wades into heady topics without much to say about them". 49% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Everyone obsessed with the fact that the United Healthcare CEO shooter wrote Deny Defend and Depose on bullet shell casings. That’s because Deflect Dumb Police Investigations wouldn’t fit.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I was at party the other day and some bloke asked me if I’d like a glass of wine. I said I don’t drink. Can I get you some water, he said. I said, Which part of I don’t drink didn’t you understand?

You are up to date.
