Same, but it does mean ‘around’ or ‘approximately’, so would still work in this context.

Circa?

“Anonymously” at an “auction” was the intended implication, I believe. Where in actuality someone is just paid a lot of money in a manner that is harder to trace, and has an air of plausible deniability.

Go fash, lose cash.

Exactly!

That was a nonbinding referendum! That somehow bound the UK to the outcome. Totally different.

These two were my first thought! I’ll add that both cover a range of topics, Jenny does do a lot of videos around Star Wars, but also covers obscure films, and theme parks, wherenl HBomber runs the gamut from flat earth to vaccines to video games to plagiarism. Both are incredibly well researched and, in my opinion, offer very fair takes on the subject matter.

Upvote and another shout out for OSW. They initially went through old school WWF, have now covered older and newer stuff from TNA and AEW, as well as film reviews and some video game deep dives. They do have quite a few running jokes at this point, but not so much that it would alienate new viewers.

anywhere that follows the rule of law

That’s the beautiful part, apparently that no longer applies to the USA.

“…amid a severe bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying chickens.”

It’s included in the summary, which is taken from the article.

The plaintiffs said some of the regulations on Planned Parenthood centers were so strict, “most health centers or doctors’ office simply do not meet” them.

I suspect that’s entirely by design.

Reached the point of being more evil than Judge Frollo, congratulations.

Very generous description of Starmer’s Labour!

I believe it’s known as a bussy.

…what‽

And justify it because he’s African American.

Insurance generally, yes. But health insurance, no, especially when it could be funded by taxes like in other countries and still have that same element of shared risk, but without the perverse incentive to let people die just to create a little more profit for the precious shareholders.

Which I appreciate is what you said, but I thought it bore repeating. Other forms of insurance I suspect would be harder to nationalise, but in theory there’s no reason they couldn’t.

Very fair, I just saw an opportunity for the quote and couldn’t resist.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

He’d be lucky to just be fired.
