How long'd it take me to read 1 email?
Font was tiny so I started a bookmarklet to bump up the text size.
Gmail's HTML has a bunch of obscure attributes so I had to manually inspect it to build my CSS selectors.
Bookmarklet didn't work unminified, so I turned it into a Vite project.

Update: script acquired
Update:
Husband drove me to the pharmacy this morning so I could figure out what the hell they needed to ask me.
Ready for it? I don't think you are.
"Do you have current insurance?"
That's it. Whole question. Apparently they couldn't fill the script in the meantime. Or let me answer digitally?

Pharmacy texts: call us we have a question!!!
Ok well I’m deaf so that’s hard. And now it’s not safe to drive bc I’m pretty sure I’m having withdrawal symptoms bc I ran out of the SNRI I need filled.

“Ask your inbox anything”
I don’t need to.
I assume it’ll be automatically on anyway. I hope it can be turned off. I’ll take my money elsewhere if not.

I've worked in medical software, and EHRs/EMRs (examples listed below) absolutely 1000% need rolls & rolls of red tape.
Regimes like the current US admin weaponize massively aggregated medical data.
Examples: Epic/MyChart, Oracle/Cerner, Meditech, Evident, Altera, Medhost, WellSky, Vista, Netsmart

Anyone who works in a field where medical software is developed knows how serious medical privacy is taken. It adds a LOT of red tape but YOU KNOW WHAT IT PROBABLY SHOULD considering these are real peoples' medical records/histories
And these clowns are tricking people into volunteering that; UGH.

Nobody else in his life? I thought Renee’s wife was literally there?
Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune
“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather told the paper. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Wtf will a government shutdown do
Rank-and-file Democrats are starting to make serious noise about using the threat of a government shutdown to force substantive changes at ICE.
