In his veto message, Newsom cites concern about creating a costly precedent by adding benefits to the state’s Affordable Care Act insurance exchange, known as Covered California. A legislative analysis estimates the added cost at about $11 million.

In 2019 a similar bill passed unanimously and was sent to Newsom. At the time, [...] Newsom asked [the bill author] to rescind the bill with a promise to create a budget fix. That “fix” came in the form of the Hearing Aid Coverage for Children Program. The program, which received $16 million its first year, distributed hearing aids to 39 children

"$11 million actually going to children is completely unacceptable, but $16 million going through my sketchy slush fund is A-OK"

Say what you will about Shatner, and a lot of it will be perfectly true and highly applicable, but there are plenty longstanding pro wrestlers who wouldn't have committed as much as he did to selling the fuck out of each one of those glacial smacks.

How about we let the players do what they feel like and stop trying to nanny them over what they can and can't do with their own shit. Fucking weirdo.

I can't get over the European discotheque sets. I would have really preferred to have this show with nice, clean, even TV lighting like TNG got.

If you're referring to guns when you say "child killing machines", you should know we find that offensive. Guns are surprisingly ineffective due to the fact that children have such a small stature, and any real American knows that you'll achieve much better results with anti-personnel weapons like fragmentation grenades, mines, and claymores.

Houston is the only team that got a bye to not be eliminated. I knew as soon as they brought out this format that this would happen consistently, and it has.

Pro tip: you can't head off claims of whataboutism my preemptively trivializing them. It doesn't work that way.
