I just received 5 of my cardiac meds from Mark Cuban Cost Plus Pharmacy. The cost with shipping and without insurance was $43.00. With insurance at a “preferred“ pharmacy would have been 3X that. Doesn’t seem pointless to me.

BREAKING: Republican State Senator Justin Eichorn has been arrested for soliciting a minor for prostitution, after filming a self-righteous video accusing Democrats of dubious acts. The Minnesota GOP has asked him to step down.

I have said it before: COVID is only just beginning. Not as a crisis of ventilator shortages and mobile refrigeration units but on chronic disease. But also of extreme political polarisation, which will only get worse. bsky.app/profile/tosh...
When COVID waves hit the hospital, for every 1 COVID case, we have an increase in case load of ~5 “non-COVID” patients. It seems COVID unleashes lots of other health sequelae. COVID has only just begun: we have merely replaced a crisis of ventilator shortages with one of chronic disease.

MUSK: A sophisticated cyberattack from Ukraine took out Twitter's servers

REALITY: Twitter's servers were not secured properly and were publicly visible

Great explainer here from @lhn.bsky.social

What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down X
Elon Musk said a “massive cyberattack” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. Security experts say that's not how it works.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.

If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help
