This seems significant for the whole “mailbox rule” in contract law - now not even the accepting party knows the date of their acceptance?
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

NEW: Critics have likened the lung float test to a witch trial.
The premise: If a baby was born alive and then died, air from its first breaths would cause the lungs to float in water.
If the baby was stillborn, lack of air would cause the lungs to sink.

Medical Examiners Warn That Controversial Lung Float Test Could Be Dangerous
An exam meant to determine whether a baby was born dead or alive is of “questionable value,” the National Association of Medical Examiners cautions. The paper follows a ProPublica report on how the test had been used against women accused of murder.

40 percent of MRI signals misinterpreted
Interpretation of numerous MRI data may be incorrect: blood flow is not a reliable indicator of brain activity.

A smarter model for paying for college: income-based repayment. You start paying your student loans only once you earn enough to comfortably get by. That turns higher ed debt into something more like a tax surcharge on success, not a choke collar on people who are struggling.

The exact birth date of Jesus Christ remains unknown. The choice of the present Christmas date was symbolic. Moreover, despite Christmas being a religious tradition observed by Christians, scholars have traced the festivity to pagan and pre-Christian traditions.

There is a direct line between Mario Rubio now weaponizing the government against “censorship,” Jay Bhattacharya crying “censorship,” M Shellenberger lying on Substack about “censorship,” and the ongoing destruction of our public health, vaccine, and science infrastructure.
The US State Department is now going to be deporting people and/or revoking visas over Benz, Taibbi, and Shellenberger’s “censorship industrial complex” hoax.
