Last year, 320,000 Canadians filed bankruptcy due to their medical bills.
Oopsie, I meant Americans. The Canadian number is slightly lower: zero.

What the heck?
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

New horrors and attacks on science daily. I guess that’s what you do when you have so much free time, since you aren’t doing any actual science or even any reading (or thinking).
Guy whose family forced a lobotomy onto his aunt wants medieval medicine for all.
In fact, forget lobotomies for some, let’s bring back trepanation for all!
The CDC to be replaced with Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights.

Exactly 👍- I think this is how artistic and creative person feels about AI. It seems to be taking all the good parts.
I want AI to do the laundry and my admin while I write and illustrate books.
