We owe a great debt to the firefighting crews now battling the blazes. Those crews, not incidentally, include over 900 inmates from California prisons.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012.

United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade.

Insurers Continue to Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts
In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, judges found that some doctors working for these companies engaged in “selective readings” of medical evidence and “shut their eyes” to medical opinions opposing their conclusions.

The only "AI skills" that will be truly valuable to most employers over the next few years are the skills to weed out AI-generated mistakes and hallucinations so the company isn't humiliated or sued.
No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.
College students caught between professors' AI bans and employers' growing demand for AI skills
Research shows 75% of workers now use artificial intelligence on the job, yet many universities still classify its use as cheating.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Merry Christmas from Zooey and me from the deep winter wonderland of Montana. It's a white Christmas too!

We woke early this morning to open presents with our family.

I could not be more blessed than to share this life with my wonderful wife and the family we've made.
