UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate. ProPublica obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs. Here’s what we found. (Published Nov. 2024)

Because "Ken Paxton, eff them kids!", doesn't have enough oomph.

Delusions of grandeur much? Jesus. Dude's head is so far up his own ass he's huffing methane straight from the source.

This is what they should have done twelve years ago. He is the definition of a bully. Had we ignored him then we may not have ended up here.

I should not be allowed to be sad and have access to adult money at the same time. I may or may not have purchased more games on Steam to add to my giant backlog.

Oh look, he turned our #HOMES to #SHAME! Fitting...

And now Tim Curry. Two of humanity's biggest personalities gone in less than 24 hours... Fucking oof, guys.

If anyone deserved every bit of good this universe had to offer, it was Dolly.

Dean Martin Voice: When you say something crass, and that guy kicks your ass, that's a more!

The world got *ALCHEMY* before the United States got universal healthcare. I'm in the worst timeline and I don't know what I did to deserve this.

This geode that resembles the Cookie Monster was discovered by gemologist *Lucas Fassari* in November 2020 in the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. #AGoodPlace

Let me get this straight, this man (whose net worth is 4,000,000 times what I make in a year) has spent over 1,600 times what I make in a year so that he doesn't have to pay taxes? Right, right, right... As Senator Stern (Gary Shandling) once told Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, "Fuck you buddy."

I just had to call public safety on my way home from work for a free roaming HERD OF COWS in the road. Look, I know I live in "rural America", but not that damned rural. Oh, and the dispatcher, not even surprised. She chuckled and asked if I could "scooch past them". #Midwest #WeGotCows

Holy hell. We've lived in our house for almost six years and until just now neither adult that lives here knew that both showers running at the same time sounds like a pipe burst in the wall... #AdultShit

The short answer is "Yes!". The long answer is "Yes, absolutely!".

I saw a shooting star on my way home. Thanks Universe.

Hey, @showmestateofmind.bsky.social have you been to House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI yet??? It might be right up your "road trip to go see weird stuff" alley! Give scritches to Celine!

I have an unforgiving heart then. Feet first. Wood chipper.

As someone who never learned to give myself any, why the hell do any of these people expect me to give them a whit of grace? They can have the exact days they deserve. I hope they step on a Lego, and that their milk always smells questionable.

Just a reminder... Once a fraud, always a fraud!

Because I am qualified to say this, "All of this *gestures around* is fraud. Oh, and if it isn't fraud, it's a financial crime of some sort."

Chief Justice Roberts can kindly remove his cranium from the orifice of the day and realize that he is going to go down in history as having the most corrupt court in the history of the Republic. I hope the Founding Fathers meet him at the pearly gates with tar and feathers at this point.

If Trump thinks he can be an astronaut, maybe strap him in the Vomit Comet? Something interesting /will/ happen.

What. The actual. Fuck?

Shout-out to the Bond movies for making an evil tech founder a super-villain back in 1985, at least 25-30 years before the rest of us caught on.

Donkeys make life Fun 🤣

“No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested.” ― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man #TerryPratchettDay #GNUTerryPratchett

theirs was a love that could never be

“I’m like an everyday American who loves his country, loves the sport of hockey and champions my friends when they raise a gold medal and invite me in to celebrate,” Patel said. I bet he thinks strippers like him too...

I need people to stop touching shit that doesn't belong to them. Those pens on my desk, no touch. Other people's money, nope. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building, just stop. Vessels departing the Strait of Hormuz that aren't specifically flagged as US vessels, absolutely not.

I miss the other kind of taco Tuesday. They both give me heartburn, but at least one of them lets me have delicious tex-mex/Mexican food instead of war crimes.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Chat, I think we're cooked.

To this day I cannot watch this movie without full body sobs, and it's only gotten worse since becoming a parent. Honorable mention to Brave Little Toaster, and it being the reason I'm nice to inanimate objects.

I cannot wait for the day that I don't have to look at Pee-Wee Himmler ever again.

I learned a fun new thing about myself today. Sudafed, the good, behind-the-counter kind, makes me unable to accurately perceive the passage of time. I thought I just watched a ten minute YouTube video... Nope, hour and a half, felt like nothing. The microwave waiting on lunch? Literal years.

Man, if only there was a way, like an amendment to the Constitution, or like something Congress could do about this absolutely batshit old man... Damn.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️ From Pompeii, 45-79 AD. Now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. 📷 by me #FrescoFriday #Archaeology

These chucklefucks are the only reason I hope the Christian version of hell exists.

This. This right here is why any of this prediction market bullshit is dangerous. There is a reason sports betting is heavily regulated, this should also be.

Soooooooooo, what do we have to do to get people arrested for war crimes??? Is it like a Looney Toons situation where we have to trap them in a shipping container, or is there someone we can call? Because, honestly, this feels more like a hostage situation daily...

Guess what President Bone Spurs? You can't have the Medal of Honor because you never served.

This I believe. I wonder if there's a timer on the teleprompter...

It's not saving our country, it's lining his pockets. Don't let him fucking lie to you.
