I might be using Edge because of this.
On the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install.
The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it.

That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!
The Web Install API is ready for testing
We're happy to announce that the Web Install API is now ready for testing on your own site, as an origin trial in Microsoft E

Luigi didn’t go far enough.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.

How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage

Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

These are voters the GOP can’t suppress. And they don’t have the ability to end the midterms, not in a realistic way. Best they can hope for is to deny leftism results, which…lol, good luck.

One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

The tariffs are killing farming, so they’re gonna try and make cutting costs* easier.

* historically this means cutting life out of humans
Unreal: "The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing 'forever chemicals' as an active ingredient... The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."

Divide and conquer. Let them fight, then go after the winner.
Many Republican leaders and voters in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district say they are sticking with her during her fight with President Trump, boosting her bid to carve out a populist MAGA brand independent of him.
Trump-Marjorie Taylor Greene breakup shakes MAGA: ‘Mom and Dad are separated’
In Greene’s Georgia congressional district, much of the MAGA base has her back against Trump, who has called her a “traitor.”

So the line will be “nothing illegal happened.” Even though tons of illegal things happened.

That’s how they cover it up - get the media to say a crime isn’t a crime.

If you investigated most churches in America, you’d discover this is the MO for quite a few of them.

I can name victims on one hand who were told to forgive their abusers from when I grew up in the church. I can’t think of one ever being reported.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix
Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member. They Were Told to Forgive and Forget.
In Minnesota, leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community enabled a child abuser by telling his victims that once the sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never...

Why is it that a kid can go through school, get straight A's and just crush it, but lack athletic ability and then struggle to get a scholarship to college, whereas an athletic kid can do decent, have worse grades (still succeeding grades), but get a scholarship for their athletics?

Glad this is hurting him, but the ultimate solution to prices being raised in the US is to introduce a ratio tax wherein if the total compensation of the executives of a corporation exceed 20:1 of the average non-managerial employee, then the company faces a 100% tax on profit.

Forbes admitting they’re invested in AI and can afford to let the bubble burst.

This is a bubble. The reason is companies are using a probabilistic machine (AI) for deterministic outcomes, and so it fails. AI is in a bubble due to marketing and subsequent use based on the marketing

We need the pendulum to swing so far on anti-corruption that bleeding hearts are calling for less severe sentencing and less frequent prosecutions for it.

Yet again, the bravest Americans aren’t the ones who legged, but the everyday people who realize the difference between right and wrong. So far, most of the resistance has come from the people.

This is shit barbarians did in the medieval ages. I’m an atheist and I’d have MAJOR issues ordering or following orders to desecrate any sacred place.
The arrival of masked agents at a church in North Carolina sent some worshippers fleeing into the woods while children sobbed inside, witnesses told The Charlotte Observer.

The agents did not ask any questions or make any attempt to identify themselves before arresting one man. trib.al/ZtmdTkh

She’s acting out of pure spite, it’s pragmatically calculated, it’s not real, and I’m 100% in support of it.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

If Lander runs and wins, then the NY Dem coalition could finally be challenged.

It’d also set a precedent for politics, that doing the right thing(s) will get you rewarded.
Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller, campaigned with Zohran Mamdani and once hoped to join him in City Hall. Now he is eying a congressional seat, with Mamdani's support. nyti.ms/3LZXcn4

When you lack integrity and proper journalistic bona fides, you’re gonna have to just stay frustrated I guess.

You all promoted the Clinton email conspiracy while saying fuckol about Trump when you knew what he was up to.

So, no pass for you. She works at Bloomberg, so don’t subscribe there.
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...
