Annnd my first 3+ sensor shut itself off the first night I had it on because I turned off my phone overnight. I’ve been on hold for 30 minutes waiting to get a replacement sensor.
I just received my first set of 3+’s this week. Fortunately, my particular lot is not affected. #Diabetes #Diabeetus
Folks with Diabetes!

There is an urgent recall on some FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors because they are showing false low glucose readings.

World Cup Pride Match in Seattle will feature… Egypt and Iran. Say what? - www.outsports.com/2025/12/7/24...

Seattle welcomes the Iran & Egypt teams to the Pride match; this seeming culture clash is pretty darn American, I think. All are welcome to be themselves in Seattle (and I get quoted in this piece from Jon Holmes). Remember all those "You must respect our culture" harpies re: Qatar? Well guess what

Show me you know nothing about soccer without telling me you know nothing about soccer.
Americans shocked, SHOCKED about #FIFA kissing dear leader’s ass, are cracking me up about their naivety to the sport’s governing body.

Beautiful work, Paul. Context is everything. This makes me deeply appreciate Pochettino as a coach going into this #WorldCup.
#USMNT #ItsAboutFailure
#USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino’s own World Cup scars from 2002 failure colors what he preaches to this team.

“This is the most unbelievable event and the most unbelievable feeling that you can have. Put everything.”

The U.S. manager knows just how quickly the fire of a World Cup dream can be extinguished. He wants his players to never know that feeling

Any best of movie list for 2025 that doesn't have Sinners on it at all is white supremacist

If Sinners isn't very close to the top, it is hella suspect

“In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid.”
