As a result of another Russian attack, the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions have been almost completely left without power - Ukrainian Ministry of Energy.
No power. No heat. No water. In the dead of winter.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Also stated in the article that hospitals would rather implement AI to fix worker shortages than fix the real issue which is burnout and is what happens in a profit over patient system
The thing that jumps out to me here is that the article says the doctor’s *colleague* went looking for the fake studies.
It suggests the doctor who used ChatGPT didn’t check for himself and uncritically assumed they were real.

This is winter in #Gaza.
People are facing a third winter of cold temperatures, torrential rain and heavy winds after being repeatedly forcibly displaced.
Conditions have destroyed and flooded the makeshift shelters people are living in.

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

1. We need clean air everywhere. This should become a national healthy obsession. There are so many reasons for us needing clean indoor air & cleaner outdoor air. Over 8 million deaths globally a year are caused by air pollution.
