Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

It is basic criminology that if a punishment is to deter crime it must be relatively likely you get caught and it must happen reasonably soon after the crime is committed, traffic cameras do both. People hate them because they work lol.

I’ve had 2 emails from Google the last 2 days telling me my iOS device now has Google Gemini. At the bottom of the email it says I got the email since I signed up for Gemini. I absolutely have not signed up for any AI bullshit. How do I get rid of this?! I can’t find any settings to change.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

It’s ALWAYS about the oil.
Why are Canada and Venezuela so interesting for the US? We have HEAVY CRUDE OIL.
Forget the nonsense about drugs.
It's about OIL. A specific type of oil. Not any type will do.
Despicable.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.
My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Agreed!
The shingles vaccine could lay me out for a week and I'd prefer that to shingles.
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

This whole thread. Maybe it’s why so many women lean into same sex relationships later in life when that was never on the radar for them before.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

“Lehigh County had 18,445 uninsured residents between the ages of 18 and 64 and Northampton County had 12,005, according to 2023 data from the National Institutes of Health. Those with medical coverage often lack dental and vision coverage, and premiums for all coverage are rising.”

“After five years in Paris, Hemings brought his new skills back to the US and served as Jefferson's head chef at Monticello, as well as in New York and Philadelphia, until he was able to negotiate his own freedom in 1796.”

The enslaved man who popularised mac and cheese
The baked dish is one of the US's most popular foods, but its rise can likely be traced back to an enslaved Black chef who worked for Thomas Jefferson.

Siblings this might be the pinnacle of literary analysis.
Imo he erotic potential of the Kool-Aid Man lies in his status as outsider, his capacity to shatter the walls we build around ourselves with the promise of pleasure. That Dionysian mystique is extinguished by familiarity. Leave the frisson of taboo to domestic types like Mr. Clean or Chef Boyardee.
