The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

One piece of this story that's often buried is that having prior authorization on Medicare AT ALL is new. That's in addition to AI being used for it.
A new Medicare pilot program is about to launch that will let private companies use AI to review requests for certain medical care — and reward companies when they deny claims.

Medicare’s new AI experiment sparks alarm among doctors, lawmakers • Stateline
A Medicare pilot program will allow private companies to use artificial intelligence to review older Americans’ requests for certain medical care — and will reward the companies when they deny it.

A few years ago I had a partner who was a former roboticist. Through her I became acutely aware of how much of public-facing robotics is now is pure theatrical smoke and mirrors horseshit intended to dupe credulous tech press and VCs.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Liz Cheney was Kamala Harris’s running mate instead of Tim Walz for the last few months of the campaign.
They will 10,000% do a “Welcome to the #Resistance” with Marjorie Taylor Greene, no questions.

A lot of you think it's ridiculous that Democrats would ever let Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people rehabilitate her image, but we just had a convention that featured border patrol agents and a congressman that voted against Obamacare more than 60 times, so I'm being extra careful.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

it's still always just so strange and odd to see people discuss covid like it was a shared memory from 20 years ago, and not a very recent, still-ongoing pandemic that many people are still trying to fight daily. it's just such a bizarre cultural framing. idk why i'm still surprised but i always am.
