And donโ€™t encourage others to do it too.

In every city where the fascists turned up, they were outnumbered, shouted down and humiliated by counter-protesters, and went home demoralized and deflated. In Glasgow our comrades held the line until 10:20pm - more than 11 hours after they arrived! - until the remaining 7 goons were finally led away by police.

In Sheffield, a bride and groom spontaneously decided to spend some of their wedding day fighting the fash, and joined the counter-protest in full wedding gear! ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ‘โœŠ

the one thing i really implore, in the made up year of 2025, is that we don't sit around being continually surprised that things are falling apart. many of us did the math on this years ago and saw it coming, everything is proceeding according to the laws of physics and other sciences. you are not a deer caught in headlights, you are an animal with opposable thumbs and incredible agency on this planet. for fucks sake use your powers

Conservatives:
โ€œYou have no money, so you have no car, and we have consistently voted against public transport, so you also have no buses or sidewalks, but we want you to have to get a job to be eligible for food stamps. We also cut funding the office that helps you find a job. Oh, and the people Medicaid paid to help care for your disabled family while you might have worked? We cut their funding too. So yeah, use your bootstraps to get to work while also being at home. Praise Jesus.โ€
Assholes.

Someone came into my mentions to spread the common misconception that undocumented immigrants are bankrupting Medicaid. So folks, say it with me now: โ€œUndocumented immigrants are never eligible for Medicaid or CHIP.โ€

No really. And Emergency Medicaid coverage that pays hospitals for uncompensated care of people who are not on Medicaid but otherwise eligible accounts for less than 1% of Medicaid spending.

5 Key Facts About Immigrants and Medicaid | KFF

Confusion persists about immigrantsโ€™ eligibility for federal programs, with about half or more of U.S. adults and immigrants adults saying they are unsure or incorrectly believe that most immigrants to the U.S. are eligible to enroll in federal health insurance programs, including Medicaid, as soon as they arrive to the U.S.

I've been away from Mastodon for a bit, just really having a hard time as a fed employee and scientist trying to hang on to whatever we have left. For anyone who needs something peaceful right now, here's a sunset on the wilderness coast of Washington.

Friendly reminder
Btw, if Republicans cut Medicaid, be prepared to see disabled elderly homeless people. Medicaid pays for about 2/3 of Americaโ€™s nursing home beds. When the money stops, those people are evicted, an ambulance is called, and they wind up in the ER. They have nowhere to go, no funding for another nursing home, and no emergency medical problem. Sooner or later they stop being boarded in the ER and wind up on the streets.

Trump and the GOP are about to make massive changes to society at the expense of the poor to massively benefit the rich but what the media's focused on primarily is when Biden last had a prostate exam and how they can ding Democrats for it.

This is where the media's failures are most glaringly obvious.

CBO finds Republicans' bill benefits the rich, harms the poor:

The massive boat that nearly missed some random guy's house in Norway is still stuck. And I'd seen pictures from the side where it was clear that it was CLOSE to his house, but I had not seen this one before and it really sells exactly how close it is.

So, just remember, no matter how bad you fuck up things today, you have not fucked them up as hard as this boat captain did.

@DrakkenZero The homeowner looked out of the window and was apparently "quite astonished" which is such a Norwegian reaction.

@clintruin Never even heard of this movie, but it looks interesting, I will throw it on my "Watch Later" pile, where it might eventually some day be seen
@DrakkenZero @clintruin Well worth watching, a warning about the fragility of our internet dependent world. Got me to go out and buy a road atlas.
@DrakkenZero
some fun moments, but overall 'meh'.
@clintruin @DrakkenZero hey, thanks for the link, never saw this movie and might give it a watch!

@DrakkenZero Once again it's a green ship, but at least this one isn't stuck across a canal.
@DrakkenZero On the flipside, he missed the house. Good job.
@DrakkenZero I don't know anything about ships, but it's amazing to me that it hasn't tipped over on its side. (Also, yes, this was a massive fuckup. But no one died and even the house is undamaged so it's a partial win imo.)
@akamran Yep, it is a perfect target for schadenfreude... juuuuuust close enough to tragedy that it's scary as crap and will definitely have ramifications, but not so close that we can't still safely make fun of it.
@DrakkenZero @akamran they'll have to wreck that beach completely to get that boat going. These surroundings may remain damaged for years.
@akamran @DrakkenZero One article mentioned that the ship damaged the intake for the house's heat-exchanger, so it may get cold for a few days until the HVAC system can be repaired. But considering what could have happened, the residents were very lucky. A slightly different angle would have wrecked the house and might have killed the people sleeping in it.

@DrakkenZero
It was thoughtful of them to coordinate with the house trim.
@DrakkenZero The captain is now updating the resume/CV

@DrakkenZero

Insurance will skyrocket, he'll never be able to affjord it.

@DrakkenZero "Honey? Did you order something with same-day shipping?"

@DrakkenZero by that same token, that boat captain is probably kicking himself like crazy right now, but the reality is God cut his ass a break, he was a tiny fraction of a degree off on his course from killing a dude in his bed and destroying a whole house.

reminders to be gentle with yourself today no matter how absurd of a jam you've gotten into

@DrakkenZero Norwegian here. The navigator on deck fell sleep and has been charged for reckless navigation (...) by the police. No suspicion of alcohol or similar.
@DrakkenZero Hit a sand/silt/clay bottom. 10 feet to starboard, and it would have hit bed-rock and bounced right into the guys bedroom. Saw a video on our local news, place is a one hour drive from me.
@DrakkenZero That image is like an advertisement for the new season of the Lost TV series.
@DrakkenZero feels like it should be listed on hotels.com.

@DrakkenZero someone should caption this "the greatest love story never told" or similar.

All I see is two anthropomorphic beings, too long kept apart, whose love finally overcame the barriers society thrust between them.

@DrakkenZero A house by the sea sounds nice until a container ship captain falls asleep for a few seconds like a human with both halfs of his brain. ๐Ÿฆญ

In that whole mess, I want to be the dude who woke up to "thunder" then rolled over and went back to sleep until his neighbour arrived to make sure he was okay.

@silvermoon82
And ignored the neighbours banging on the door, until they rang his phone.

@DrakkenZero

@DrakkenZero Sometimes you dodge the bullet, so to speak.
@DrakkenZero What a lovely house! I hope the ship doesn't tip over onto it later.
@DrakkenZero @virtualbri I'm sure more details will come out eventually, but I would not be surprised if there was a last second act of heroism by the crew to avoid hitting the house

The one guy on the bridge was also able to sleep through the grounding.

So you know that guy who slept through the container ship running aground next to his house? You'll never guess who else slept through it. Unless you guessed the one guy on the bridge to steer the vessel. https://maritime-executive.com/article/police-arrest-second-officer-reporting-he-was-asleep-when-ship-grounded

@DrakkenZero "Nearly missed"? Surely that's "nearly hit"?
@DrakkenZero New meme template has dropped.
@DrakkenZero I have heard two things regarding this ship .. that it could only go forward and the other is the person who should of been in charge was sleeping..
