user15026

@TimStone ....fun? FUN? really? ffs

Unionhawk

literal lives are at stake here but at least there's excitement to look forward to on monday

Tim Stone

I mean to be fair the thought of "terrifying the brown people" is, to them, probably fun

So I guess for once she's being honest. It's just disgusting

@Unionhawk wins the day: Check the header image

Unionhawk

"is the democratic party becoming more like the republican party" define "the democratic party", define "becoming more like the republican party" lol

Tim Stone

lol Bumble removed the account

Unionhawk

because for various combinations of the definitions the answer is "yes"

@TimStone I mean it's either a fake which should be banned, or it's actually Jack which should be banned

@puzzlepiece87 (I did I was just referencing the intro to the thing because that's an ambiguous question)

@TimStone ugh god dammit

Tim Stone

I saw people were unhappy about this but I'm not entirely sure why? Like he's got pharma ties but this is a Republican administration so that was pretty much a given?

At least he actually has some qualification for this position

Unionhawk

isn't he, particularly, the pharma exec who worked to systematically raise the price of insulin?

puzzlepiece87

@Unionhawk Okay, I was just making sure you got my shallow point before ripping the shallow headline :P

Unionhawk

8:12 PM

Like I'm 90% sure he is

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Yeah

Unionhawk

@TimStone Then that's why

A 27 year old man died late last year because his gofundme to be able to afford the cheap to manufacture drug failed

Tim Stone

He did, but that's a far more complicated issue than just "What price Lilly sells Humalog for"

Unionhawk

It's a pretty key part of the issue

Like who knows, maybe he'll take his experience in price fixing to prevent it

Be like the previous FCC chair

Tim Stone

8:28 PM

You don't buy drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies though, so it's more of a problem of the system as a whole

Humalog is also one of a few insulin analogs, not "normal" insulin, so I'm not sure what influences the prices of normal insulin

Noooooooooooooooo

PENCE has arrived on Capitol Hill to break a tie in the vote to confirm Sam Brownback.

Unionhawk

8:33 PM

Tim Stone

He was given an ambassadorship

Unionhawk

ambassador to Kansas

Tim Stone

"ambassador at large for international religious freedom"

Unionhawk

I

why not

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone the freedom to destroy economies with a religious zeal

Unionhawk

8:35 PM

Well the good news is we did exactly the Kansas project nationwide

(except the feds can deficit spend while states can not)

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk not quite as bad yet

Tim Stone

The State Department has an Office of International Religious Freedom because Congress created one in 1998 with the International Religious Freedom Act

GodEmperorDune

they didn't actually cut the social programs federally yet

Tim Stone

It is important we staff this office, but none of the other offices, at the State Department, for reasons

Unionhawk

They're working on it

GodEmperorDune

8:37 PM

mainly working on miscounting the census in their favor

Unionhawk

The prospect of any Internet rando being able to swap anyone’s face into porn is incredibly creepy. But my first thought is that we have not even scratched the surface of how bad ‘fake news’ is going to get. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/bjye8a/reddit-fake-porn-app-daisy-ridley

@Unionhawk well, well, well how the turntables

Unionhawk

At least we're, I assume, filing it in the same district as the action is occuring, not like how Manafort filed his suit in NY when he's being tried in DC

and also that most of the plantiffs are no longer facing charges helps too

cazc_941

@TimStone whoa, these are creeeeepy

Tim Stone

Right?
