My Besties Have Always Been Beasties

All of my besties have had four legs, giant hearts and more kindness in one toe bean then exists in the entire Universe.

I know. I am lucky- and more grateful for them then I can put into words- so I’ll share pictures of them instead.

Carl Kolchak- so named because he turned up at my warehouse which is part of the Seattle Undergound System and the setting  for the first ” Night Stalker ‘ movie featuring Carl Kolchak as The Night Stalker.

Still Have Zero F’s To Give

Dear Media

Quit trying to make us care about a rich CEO being gunned down in cold blood when you did NOTHING to report on what an abnormal candidate Donald Trump was and what an abnormal President Elect he is.

Come on media, you know Donald Trump,  the guy who was found guilty of defaming a woman who accused him of sexual battery- who danced on stage at a rally for 40 minutes because ‘nobody wanted to hear questions’-Trump who is in the process of burning the Government- you know The Government of the People, For the People, By The People to the ground , you don’t think that is newsworthy.

But that’s not all you have ‘done.’

There is of course there is the way you help further the Right Wing verbal spew that children being gunned down in their schools isn’t the story but gun rights are and that Elon Musk is for all intents and purpose the President now because Trump doesn’t want the job.

Trump ran for President because he wanted to stay out of jail and sell his over prices crappy trinkets to his Magats, so he is going to appoint the people who cut him big checks and his admirers to  do the ‘work’ while he and his Wedded Business Partner haunt the halls of their home in Florida.

Those ARE  the stories and you are choosing to ignore it. Instead you are shaming people for not caring about a person who’s job – who’s mission in his work was  to find a way to NOT deliver on services promised to the people buying from his company with catastrophic results to many of them.

Instead you have chosen to help the Insurance Industry and Brian Thompson with a image rehab.

Pathetic. You are PATHETIC.

The Devil You Say!

Write your own version of those holiday newsletters that people send to friends and relatives at this time of year.

Dear Fam and Friends

I hope you had a fantabulous year!

I was super duper lucky enough to have a Facebook/Instagram  2024 life, my pictures and quips got lots of likes and I promise that I really do look like my selfies in real life!

I am planning to cook a great XMAS dinner and oh boy, wouldn’t you know it? My tree is already up and lit and loaded down with ornaments that I have collected on my many many trips to the Mall- sweet memories are encased in each glass bauble. Life in the suburbs is grand.

I would also like to share that all of my children are all still  all tall, blond, full of sunshine and light and are well within their BMI- I could not be more proud.  I know that sound like a big over the top brag, ‘the devil you say- nobody’s life or family can be that perfect.

But I  am truly blessed.

My life is perfect and I want to share it with the world because I am so thankful.

So with that that I would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas!

The media and some elected officials are slapping the noses of people like me- the people who absolutely feel zero empathy for Brian Thompson- the CEO of United Healthcare and I could careless.

Under Brian Thompson’s leadership,  UHC was hit with a  suit that claimed the company illegally deployed “artificial intelligence (AI) in place of real medical professionals to wrongfully deny elderly patients care owed to them under Medicare Advantage Plans by overriding their treating physicians’ determinations as to medically necessary care based on an AI model.”

The suit also claimed the company knew this model “has a 90% error rate.”

In other words Brian Thompson made a fortune and I mean a literal fortune by taking money from people for services that he had ZERO intentions of providing.

Thompson’s net worth was approximately $43 million, according to Wallmine, per Daily BeastWallmine reported that Thompson’s net worth allegedly included over 72,000 units of UnitedHealth Group stock, valued at around $42.9 million, and stock options that were worth over $21 million. The Daily Mail reported that Thompson earned around $10 million per year with his salary at United Healthcare.

Brian Thompson was a well kept man.

” Jacob Marley “
A Christmas Carol
1951

When he he was gunned down in cold blood, I felt zero sympathy for Brian Thompson.

There is something obscene about a person who would take money from someone and then literally tell them to F#$@ and Die- but that’s what he did. He’s like a drug dealer , but at least- at the very least- the drug dealer comes across with the product when you cross their palms with silver.

When I think of Brian Thompson and the people like him, I think of people who are facing catastrophic health issues and how you can find story after story where people are on the phone with their ( ha ha ‘their’ ) insurance company trying to find out if they have coverage- or begging for it and when I think of them I think of Jacob Marley.

” Jacob Marley “
A Christmas Carol
1951

In A Christmas Carol Marley appears to Scrooge Marley is chained to his money boxes by heavy and ponderous chains, he is in torment- there is nothing he can do to free himself of his chains and there is nothing he can do to change the misery he brought into the world.

It’s my sincere wish, in keeping with the season- that Brian Thompson and the people like him are chained to their money boxes and that they will spend eternity dragging them over the Earth- that they find no peace, that they find no rest.

That is why I don’t care about what happened to Brian Thompson, nobody should die in fear- but I do believe if you’ve done your best to usher fear and death, misery and despair into the lives of other people- and made them literally pay you for the pleasure, you have lost your humanity and you are in no position to have anyone on your behalf demand it from me or anybody else.
