I can’t believe they say this shit out loud
Rep. Roger Williams defends members of Congress trading stocks: "I think we gotta be careful that we don't limit Congresspeople to where they can do nothing ... from a financial standpoint, it's not easy being up in Congress."

Genuinely terrifying. Healthcare (really, health insurance) costs skyrocketing. Then complicated by these fuckers wanting us all to be more sick, all the time. Our kids, sick. Our elders, sick. All of us, sicker and sicker, and paying more for it.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Trump is so debasing to republicans that their only way to deal with him is by playing stupid. this shit is so embarrassing, honestly
Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras?
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it
Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?
MARSHALL: I haven't researched it

For the life of me, I cannot understand why news organizations are adopting AI widgets like this, especially when they're pinned to the top of an article so that readers see them before they ever see the text.
It's practically begging readers to not read the things you're paying people to write.

Gen”AI” and LLMs possess neither intelligence nor any sliver of a soul. It’s all just vomit reconstituted from scraping the internet and the theft of actual artists’ work, with a hefty side order of ecological rapine.
