“I want my inheritance now.” From forced property transfers to drained pensions, older people are increasingly losing their life savings to family members.

‘I Want My Inheritance Now’: Older People are Losing Their Life Savings to Family Members

As housing stress and cost-of-living pressures mount, adult children are asking parents to unlock their wealth early — or to stop spending it.

As the Trump administration hails the potential of leucovorin to treat autism, the CEO of GSK, which was asked to submit data on the drug to the FDA, says the company has "no commercial interest" and "no scientific interest" in the effort. #STATSummit

This scarf looks like bat wings, is that spooky enough for the theme? 😳 😱 🦇 👻 🎃

It’s “Guna” and available on Ravelry.

I highly recommend going to your most local No Kings if only to find out which of your community’s grandmas have that dawg in them

Penny Shortage @cheatlines.co · 25d

i will say that at *my* No Kings protest the Andor and other pop culture themed signs DID read as revolutionary poetry compared to the other two sign types, "FUCK da CHEETO 🖕" held by a tiny grandma and "multi paragraph screed about the National Park Service written in regular ballpoint pen"

It's Accessible Education Day at #UWaterloo!

This afternoon, I'm looking forward to joining the panel "What are instructors doing to integrate accessibility in their courses?"

My talk will focus on how shared indoor air quality is a fundamental barrier to accessibility and what we can do about it.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.
