With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

Here's how you can use it. 1/

a wild story that encapsulates how tech executives view AI. Anthropic's Deputy CISO made his Discord server a ghost town by forcing an AI chatbot onto it despite community protests

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out

They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:
Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

👀👀👀 "Emails from UCLA’s fundraising department, obtained by FOIAball, show the school is steering money to the charity, with explicit notes that it be earmarked for football NIL."
The day Nico Iamaleava's NIL contract dispute broke, UCLA got $60,000 from donors.

But the school didn't have them send the money to its collective, Bruins for Life.

Instead, it had them give it to a local charity for at-risk youth.

Which is run by the founder of Bruins for Life.
How UCLA used a friendly charity to get tax-free NIL money
The school sent donors to a 501c3, but flagged the money for its football team.

NEW:

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.
