I keep thinking of the 100 million Americans who now have Covid as a preexisting condition. Aetna, United, and the Blues will have a field day.

Worth remembering that Trump tried to overturn the ACA without a replacement, which could have brought back lifetime caps and revoked coverage for pre-existing conditions. In other words, if he'd had his way, many more Americans could have gone bankrupt and died.

There is a tension between the head of a news business explicitly advocating for more deregulation and the many journalists who have covered how a lack of regulations has hurt regular people. Regulations are why there are seatbelts in cars and limits to acceptable levels of lead in food products.

“Another BMS employee told STAT that she recently started a data science job at Amazon after being let go from the pharma giant. That layoff came at an especially vulnerable time — she was on maternity leave.” “Amazon was offering her a salary about $100,000 more than what she made at BMS.”

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

When you update the description on your LinkedIn profile, or add information under your job role(s), your connections don’t get a notification right? The notifications should just be for big announcements (new job, promotion, etc)… right?

The Asp caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis) also called the 'puss caterpillar' is the larva of the flannel moth. They look fuzzie-wuzzie, but the larva contains a secret: hidden in the soft hairs are dagger-sharp hollow spines containing a venom that causes intense pain. (📷: Judy Gallagher)

But agency said

At the risk of posting something stupefyingly obvious: If you're among those canceling a New York Times or Washington Post subscription, I guarantee you have a great nonprofit media outlet or local paper in your area that could use some revenue. And that coverage is absolutely vital right now.
