Does anyone notice these major tech companies doing layoffs all say “With AI our engineers are so productive we don’t NEED these people!” only to have major outages within weeks or months of the layoffs?
Looking at you, Microsoft. 😒

Blue Cross Blue Shield of California is the sole health insurance company that has pledged to continue covering childhood vaccines even if the fraudulent ACIP that RFK Jr. installed stops recommending them.
With RFK Jr. in Charge, Insurers Aren’t Saying If They’ll Cover Vaccines for Kids If Government Stops Recommending Them
RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory board could stop recommending some routine childhood immunizations, leaving insurers to decide whether to still cover them. For now, most are remaining tight-lipped.

Will AI create or take over jobs? Here's what AI leaders are saying.
Tech leaders are divided on AI's job impact, with some concerned it'll take over jobs and spike unemployment, and others saying it'll create new jobs.

Hey musicians we need to make a big stink about this. I know I’m willing to remove my music from Spotify if they go through with it. If you are too, contact them and tell them so.

Can someone just explain to me why making Ghibili images on the free tier of ChatGPT is a copyright violation but the paid tier isn’t..? It’s almost like it should be considered a copyright violation on both. 🤔

When PT starts to feel vaguely like torture* you know you’re finally making some progress!
(* From an intensity standpoint NOT from a pain standpoint — if it hurts, tell your PT! If your PT doesn’t listen, it’s time for a new one. 👀)

Told my mom about how they don't remove the old kidneys in most kidneys transplants and there were people walking around with 3, 4, 5...7 kidneys and the sheer look of horror was worth it 🤣 (a family friend recently had a transplant)

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

This morning my microwave woke me up at 5:30am with a series of aggressive beeps. I attempted to soothe the creature but it was too far gone (alas). Now its husk rests above the oven, suspended in midair - a warning to any other appliance with early morning ideas.

I spent a bunch of time in Milosevic's Serbia and even to a teenager, it was astounding to see how much misery, corruption and societal failure people would excuse for the vague promise that the government would hurt someone else on their behalf.
As someone from the Balkans I regret to inform you that the tolerance of the average public for being utterly brutalized by their government(s) for the most fantastical and asinine reasons is far greater than you may anticipate. Sectarianism is a hell of a drug, alas.
