A sexton is a religious position

Honorary title for clergy who have a ton of sex?

it means that Pippin Billy Boyd actually is a complete dumbass IRL and actually accidentally awoke an ancient evil.

Hey! He apologized and paid his fine! Let the poor man move on with his life! 😛

Which is sometimes called a Ouisgian Sohda.

I suspect the other two don’t either

Dammit, beat me to it! I haven’t been this incensed since last year!

Yes. In fact, they’re so codependent that neither of them will enter a room without the other.

That’s an old ass-egg!

(Note: link is to classic xkcd comic, not an ass-eg, whatever that might be 😄)

True, and Betty White to 99, just a couple weeks plus change from her 100th.

They’re very much the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, though…

Jean-Marie Le Pen

He’s 96 and still alive

That’s awful!

I bet Freddy Kruger is hung like a hamster. Like Hemingway was.

• Pinochet: 91
• Reagan: 93
• Thatcher: 87
• Kissinger: 100
• Mugabe: 95
• Sheldon Adelson: 87

Checks out.

To be fair, wikipedia editors, especially the ones most active on pages having anything to do with the middle east, are generally known to have a severe pro-Israel bias.

For example, it hasn’t deprecated the excretable pro-apartheid tabloid The Jerusalem Post, even going so far as to removing the “controversy” section for “lack of notability”, leaving no indication of the fact that it’s basically the Daily Mail (if not the Daily Stormer) of Israel.

A !news@lemmy.world mod (wrongly) considers The Cradle a “low quality source”

So it does. Dammit! 😄

How depressingly fitting for a healthcare profiteering company to be named after the two-faced* beast guarding the entrance to hell 😮‍💨

*technically two three-HEADED, but that’s not a common euphemism for being a liar 🤷

Absolutely! Such a hottie!

Lisa Monaco, the Deputy U.S. Attorney General previously worked as a partner at the law firm O’Melveny & Myers LLP. At O’Melveny & Myers, Monaco represented Humana–the fifth largest U.S. health insurance company–according to her financial disclosures. Notably, O’Melveny & Myers also successfully defended United Health in a suit brought by United health group insured patients earlier this year.

Health “insurance” company, not provider.

The number three at DOJ, Acting Associate AG Benjamin Mizer, also represented healthcare and pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis, among others firms.

While not an insurance company, Sanofi-Aventis (now Sanofi) was provably corrupt and predatory on multiple occasions in multiple countries and was/is VERY much part of the same problem as United Health and the rest of the health insurance leech industry.

Finally, #4 at DOJ, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prolegar, reported Lumos Pharma, Syneos Health, and Amgen, as former clients on her disclosure.

Syneos have been sued for firing people who take family leave that they’re legally entitled to and Amgen pleaded guilty to guilty to improper marketing that put patients at risk

In conclusion: while you’re technically right that only one of them worked for INSURANCE companies, they all worked for health sector companies that were and are part of the problem, so it’s a distinction without importance in this case.
