I'm deeply empathetic to pregnancy loss, the distortion of grief, and mental illness but someone who cares about her needs to have a hard conversation with that lady from the surrogacy article. I truly cannot believe no one has intervened in her actions.

Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered. The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.

As a reminder, DC is the most policed city in the country. There are over 30 policing agencies here. Even the libraries have their own police force. The solution is not more police, it's resources like housing, healthcare, after-school programs, and food.

The Cut uncritically publishing that excerpt of Gilbert's new memoir and without including the part about her attempted m*rder of her terminally ill partner is so beyond irresponsible and deeply ableist. Alone it's a wild and narcissistic story but with that context....

Oh my god. There is a fascist takeover, and the main reaction from one of D.C.'s leading Democrats is to require multi-million dollar contracts with the multi-billion dollar police industry to give the soldiers and vigilantes more surveillance technology.

The job of a beat cop (which involves helping ICE!) is also dramatically safer than *many* other jobs—farmworker, delivery driver, roofer, etc—and claiming that cops are “out in the community facing threats” is copaganda that obscures the fact that police ARE the threat.

This is completely wrong. 55 million is the total number of people in the entire world who hold visas which allow them to enter the United States. The vast majority are tourist visas, which last years. In 2024 alone there were 6.5 million tourist visas issued.

“Haha what do you mean ‘Use water’ hahaha it doesn’t just disappear” So there’s this thing called the water cycle, and it’s RATE LIMITED — which means if we return fresh water to the environment faster than the water cycle replenishes it, we run out of fresh water.

"why do they feel less safe?" I don't know maybe because a bunch of people with guns are running around and grabbing people based on racial profiling and civil infractions?!
