I asked the AI to generate me an image that reflected a segment of health care unraveling because of budget cuts
A cartoonishly terrible depiction of a hospital room that looks hollowed out by a zombie apocalypse, with a hole in the roof and peeling wallpaper, with a cardboard sign that says "BUDGET CUTS" in red on the floor

I had to read this part several times to even understand what it said and then I was like, is she doing beat poetry? Is she trying to be Lin-Manuel Miranda?
I would take a bullet for you,” the Politician said. He always said that. “Please don’t say that,” I said. I always said that. From his mouth the bullet theoretical launched the bullet possible. I did not like to think about it. About the armed man at his speech. Or the armed man who broke into his home. Or the armed men he paid to guard him from armed men who sought to harm him while the federal government denied his pleas for protection from the security agency whose modern protocols were carved by the same bullets that cut boughs from his family tree and cut the track of the American experiment.

In the app it said $30, but I guess the 5 pounders must have been all they had left. Guess that explains why my total upon pickup was significantly higher than when I put the order in.

We better make this pot roast last for three days

POV you’re trying to get information about a federal grant program in 2025
Three emails sent three days ago from a journalist about questions related to the Title V federal grant program. The Gmail app is prompting all three for follow up because it’s been three days

These posts are frequent in my local moms group. Whether midwife or doctor. This is what OB care looks like in Idaho right now.
A post in a Facebook group from someone in Idaho who just discovered she’s pregnant and tried to call midwives to get an appointment and all of them were booked out until July at the earliest.

They just de-listed this (again) and dropped the price to $849,900. I don't think it's going to help.

There are at least six homes in my neighborhood that have been sitting on the market without takers.
Property history on Realtor.com for a home that has been on the market since June, had a price drop of $10k in August, was removed from the listings in September and re-added with another price drop, then removed in November again with another price drop

We came at this exact same time two years ago, and it was absolutely packed. This time around, we haven’t waited more than 25 minutes for any ride that wasn’t a lightning lane. Food lines are short, store lines are short. It’s very pleasant for me, but also seems like another harbinger.

Not saying we shouldn’t marvel at the absurdity of the pay package, but keep in mind these are the benchmarks he has to hit to get it, and uh…it isn’t going well so far
An infographic from the WSJ about the benchmarks Elon Musk must deliver for Tesla to unlock a $1 trillion pay package. Out of 20 million cars, 8.5 million have been delivered Out of 10 million full self-driving subscriptions needed, 1 million are subscribed Out of 1 million bots delivered, zero Out of 1 million robotaxis to be in operation, it says “few” are in operation

Ah yes, my Medicaid mapping. I’m so proud of that and my data partnerships. They’re big in Cheyenne.

(Don’t let AI write your PR pitches)
An email that reads Hi Kelcie, One final perspective before I close the loop - Recently, your Cheyenne piece highlighted the domino effect of site shutdowns, while your Idaho Onward reporting underscored how staff collaboration shapes real patient outcomes. I noticed on LinkedIn you’ve shared commentary on how data partnerships can improve ground-level access, echoing your themes in Medicaid mapping.

I don’t understand how anyone is still telling themselves this will all be fine.

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...
From WSJ article David Cahn, a partner at venture-capital firm Sequoia, estimates that the money invested in AI infrastructure in 2023 and 2024 alone requires consumers and companies to buy roughly $800 billion in Al products over the life of these chips and data centers to produce a good investment return. Analysts believe most Al processors have a useful life of between three and five years. This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of Al infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market. Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies' data centers.

Segment from the linked article that reads: Lord said if she was in the same situation today that she was 10 years ago, she might have had to consider an option that never crossed her mind at the time - an abortion. Even though it was her partner's only child, and abortion is now banned in Idaho, Lord said she may have needed to find a way to end the pregnancy out of necessity, especially considering the costs of rent, child care, food and other expenses today. "I would've probably picked my child that was living," she said. "It was really scary for me back then, and I can't even imagine in today's world if that happened."
