Literally only DC insiders and policy wonks care about healthcare fraud. You know what Americans do care about? The rising cost of healthcare and practically everything else!

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

AI is transformational. As long as you understand its limitations and use it as a tool. Not as a crutch nor as a substitute.

Why is Hamnet so dark in so many scenes?? I can’t make out the actors faces in so much of the movie. I get “mood,” but it takes away from the acting portion of the movie if you just want me to close my eyes and listen to an old timey radio show.

Trust me when I say that AI, even a general LLM like Claude or ChatGPT, can do just as good a job at being your life coach as any human being. Always available 24/7. And a lot less expensive to boot.

Help me understand. RealID is the feds requirement for passing thru TSA. To show you are who you say you are. But under @GOP suggested law, you couldn’t use the same ID to vote or register to vote?!??? Make it make sense.

My morning.

Even orange man’s insults are dumb. Who are these SC judges a “lap dog” to??!?? The rule of law? The Constitution?? He just doesn’t make sense.

Remind me... who voted for a war with Iran?? I thought orange man was supposed to be the "peace president." lol

Local bridge that spans the Merrimack River at around 70 ft long. It has stood for over 100 years. It cost $1.25 million when built ($23 million in today's dollars). A new bridge is replacing it. It will cost $251 million and is slightly wider. Construction costs are insane.

Amazing how quickly other countries can indict suspected criminals in the Epstein files. Because of our impotent, incompetent AG and DOJ, the USA apparently is happy to protect & coddle pedophiles. Like Orange man & many of his associates.

Sad that our own govt murdered some of our fellow citizens. Our neighbors. Cut down for exercising their #1A rights.

While my health insurance prices increase YoY by anywhere from 14 to 26%, I can't help but notice my benefits continue to decrease. Things covered by a flat fee are now "Deductible, then $75 copay." My deductible is going up to $9,750/pp. No more urgent care center. Cash for everything.

One thing I love about America is my #1A rights. They are extensive. So when I say f--- ICE and I hope every ICE agent has what's coming to them, I know that I'm free to say that. And if the feds want to question me about my #1A rights, I'll be happy to school them.

Your AI conversations aren’t private or privileged. Don’t talk to AI in any way about anything you don’t want revealed in public. Or a court of law.

Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, and ... checks notes... has a bachelor's degree in "information design" says, without evidence, that Instagram isn't "clinically addictive." Excuse me if I don't take the head of the company's word for what is and is not "clinically addictive." Ass.

Love that the @nytimes spends energy & resources researching… … checks notes… Lip balms?!??? (And then sends me an email to proudly let me know too.) I mean, c’mon man. It’s freakin lip balm. I don’t need 2,000 words on LIP BALM!!

The US government is now the LAST place I’d trust for valid, scientific health information. www.scientificamerican.com/article/rfk-...

Why is healthcare in the US so f***ed? Because for most FT employees, your employer pays this cost (hiding it from view). When you own your a small business, you have to buy insurance from a marketplace. This is what a mid-range HMO plan costs. 16% increase YoY!

The Washington Post layoffs are just a sign of the times. Small, medium & large publishers are all suffering under Google search's AI-driven interface now. Online publishing is all but dead. I'm not sure how anyone will survive the loss of traffic that Google historically has driven to sites.

I'd probably be all-in on an EV from a Chinese company, as they are producing EV automobiles that could easily compete with $100k cars at less than half the price. The tech and features in their cars is 3-5 years ahead of anything else. Sadly, my govt tells me I can't buy a Chinese EV. Verboten!

For the real dumb people who voted MAGA in 2024. Orange man may have lowered your taxes, but he's making YOU pay the tariffs. www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

I greatly admire Senator Kelly. What was done to him is ridiculous authoritarian overreach. #FundHealthcareOverICE, DHS or the DOD

More people use ChatGPT & other AI services for mental health needs every single day than ANY OTHER therapeutic intervention in existence. It's estimated 40-50 million people/day use AI for mental health! Don't bury your head in the sand pretending this isn't helpful. Or ethical.

SpaceX taking on xAI is actually a huge red flag for future investment into SpaceX. SpaceX needs xAI like an elephant needs a bicycle. This merger benefits xAI and xAI only. (The far more logical merger would've been xAI with Tesla. But now Tesla is f***ed.)

If I’m watching a movie and come to a point where I say, “Oh this is where the siblings have a fight or falling out to move the plot along,” I know your screenwriter is like the lamest writer in all of screenwriting history. I’m looking at you Amazon and Netflix.

Hilarious that the Kennedy Center was renovated and expanded in 2019 - just 6 years ago. Yet Orangeman thinks it needs more renovation? Like cold, hard uncomfortable marble armrests. Sure. Great way to spend taxpayer money. Not on healthcare.

People who complain about Americans who speed: Speed cameras work effectively to reduce speeding. They’re all over London and virtually nobody speeds because of them. So your choice: more deaths from speeding or an automated policing system that is always monitoring your speed.

I swear that neither a Volvo engineer nor a person from marketing has actually ever taken the Volvo XC40 on a 2 hour road trip. It is the most painful, infuriating car I’ve ever had to drive on a highway. Press the gas pedal and 1..2…3…4… seconds later you MIGHT get some acceleration. Astounding.

This is horrible and anti-science. Which means it’s exactly what I would’ve expected from this arse.

2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.
