This morning I went to the hospital, I had a MRI, different XRays, Blood tests with 14 different tests and ultrasounds and I didn't pay a cent.

Vive la France.

Dunno if this is really the right thread for it but did anyone catch the most recent episode of Atlanta? The episode title was 'the big payback' and it was on the subject of reparations. Donald Glover (writer/show creator) said it was a discussion piece. I've heard some people react by saying the episode could've just as easily been written by Tucker Carlson. It basically shows a world where any descendant of slavery can successfully sue and get money from (even if just taking their assets and garnishing their wages) any descendant of slave owners.

Haven't watched any of the new season, but the first couple were fantastic.  He's an incredibly talented dude.

As a political scientist type, this Twitter thread made me so happy. Visit the tweet itself, because there are many in the thread.

Oh absolutely. I've appreciated his work on Community before this and what I've heard of his music as well.

I'm gonna put this in the joke thread because it is HILARIOUS! But it really deserves it's own thread to be discussed so that might happen.

This and the Tucker Carlson post probably do need their own thread. I find that I have a lot of comments on our current incarnation of the "Battle of the Sexes".
