Obese gray male, introverted, cranky, woke but needs a nap. Enjoys solitude, old movies, long bus rides, and a good bowel movement.
I’m also an old person who yells, and I agree.
Mostly, though, if we’re going to ‘modernize’ the system (with or without AI), it needs to be done smartly and methodically, and by people who aren’t philosophically opposed to Social Security’s existence.
I tried, but can’t bear to read the “article,” which, being Axios, is merely a collection of blips instead of actual writing and journalism.
As for the headline, I’m pleased to see plenty of common sense in the comments here. Seeing an MD in America is difficult, expensive, time-consuming, often preachy, and frequently not worth the co-pay if you’re lucky enough to have insurance. “Health care providers” have made it such a hoop-jumpy and slow process, that when I’m ill seeing a doctor is about my fourth choice.
What the fuck and why? What’s to be gained from this, for The Atlantic or its editor, Jeffrey Goldberg? Shit-can this dumb idea right here and now, please.
Rebuke away, ya dumb fuck Dems. What the young Mr Hogg is attempting — funding primary challengers to the most empty-suit Democrats — might be futile, might not, but you gotta respect the effort.
“Wake up, wake up,” he shouts at the corpse of the Democratic Party, which will probably wake up only long enough to smack him away, and then go back to sleep.
There are enough genuine outrages in America these days, I was inclined to think nothing much of this one… until Franklin Graham weighed in on the store owner’s side. Nothing more needs to be researched or considered; as much as Donald Trump or Elon Musk, if Franklin Graham is on your side you’re on the wrong side.
Good stuff, thanks.
That’s not a “slip-up” unless there’s an apology and the info is taken down, which hasn’t happened, and won’t. It’s a DHS doxing.
Court orders can be either followed or appealed, but in the entire history of me reading the news, I don’t remember ever seeing a headline about someone “resisting” court orders.
That headline is a masterwork of obfuscation, softening an obvious fact by hiding it behind “fears grow”.
This is nice and all, but court rulings against the Trump regime are moot. Everything Trump doesn’t like gets emergency-docketed to the Supreme Court, which he owns, and in the rare instance where the Supremes rule against Trump, he ignores it.
The real problem is all the anti-Semitism.
Monkeys will fly out of my bunghole before this trial could amount to anything but a lot of lawyers’ paydays.
Only rich people have rights.
It takes brains and money for foreign kids to be accepted at American universities, so these are future movers-and-shakers in their home countries. When they return, they’ll spend the rest of their lives justifiably badmouthing the U S of A, warning others to stay away. Like so much of what Trump is doing, the repercussions will live on, long after he’s gone.
Excellent link round-up, by the way.
Good news I suppose, but court rulings are mostly moot, because everything gets emergency-docketed to the Supreme Court, where justice goes to die.
Not to mention, now the only legal sources of porn are behind some form of ID restriction which is going to make a lot of people who want to remain anonymous seek out alternative websites.
Oh, jeez. I hadn’t connected those dots until this moment. Of course you’re right — age verification laws will increase the circulation of child porn.
My brother just had his prostate removed, can’t eat or leave his apartment for a week, and he’ll probably never have a full-on erection again. My wife had to do dialysis three days a week, which left her weak and ruined after every session. A friend of mine is in pain 24/7, and has been for decades.
I am the luckiest fucker on earth, to have good health, and I’ve never done a damned thing to deserve it. For 50 years I ate almost nothing but crap food, and I’m flabby and never exercise.
Ain’t no justice in this life. Ain’t much life if you don’t have your health.

I don’t know about the hardware, but I think the software is substantially older than that — dates back to the 1960s. I might be wrong, though, and I’m too stoned right now to Google it.
