My job is to produce health information for the general reader in the UK. Not just me, part of a biggish team.
I have a list of trusted internet sources that can be used for research.
Yesterday, I had to take the CDC website off that list.

If you’re more concerned with “scammers” on SNAP than you are with the billionaires who are scamming us out of millions… you’re part of the problem.
There’s very little fraud within SNAP because it’s hard to get.
I would rather someone eat who might not need it, then everyone go hungry

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?
For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

This Virginia Election Was a Warning for Data Centers
John McAuliff ran his campaign almost entirely on data centers — and won.

Practicing Catholics believe that failure to receive the Eucharist is a mortal in that will land them in Hell. As if ICE detainment isn't cruel and unusual enough, it also puts those imprisoned in hell in the next life too
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

I do blame Garland, but in fairness I think he 100% represented what Joe Biden believed & wanted, which was to do nothing and hallucinate that 1/6/21 and Trump's loss had proven that Trump was bad and Republicans had learned their lesson and would be their good old fashioned honorable friends again.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.
