It's easy to criticize an emerging technology but doing so can blind us to potential upsides.

Welcome to November/December, when none of your clients have out-of-pocket copays any more (yay them!) buuut insurance still has a 4-6+ week turnaround time (and in my case, 2+ additional weeks!) and also you owe hundreds in copay refunds (boo my bank account). Perfect system we have, no notes

We shook it up to stand up to Trump.
He caved and signed our bill.

"Injuring myself while asleep" is a new feature of middle age I've just discovered. Another fun one is that exercise no longer automatically results in weight loss. Can I complain to someone about this or get a refund?

How is this UBI being funded you may ask? The US is funding it. It’s paid out of the Compact Trust Fund as part of the 2023 Amended Compact of Free Association with the US which we are capitalizing for our military use of their islands. Remember all the nuclear testing? The RMI is a strategic asset.

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.

It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access.
National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

Here's the thing about driverless cars, though; many people are afraid of them but in truth they eliminate the myriad of human errors that cause death and misery all the time (ie they don't check their smartphones or makeup while driving, etc.).
