Even with limited data (ie cases are undercounted), and workers spraying and checking for standing water all summer, Florida’s ongoing dengue outbreak is the worst in the US since the 1940s, & locally-acquired cases have surpassed travel-acquired. “There's a good chance that this is the new normal”

Remains an underreported story somehow that the president is out of his goddamn mind.
Do you trust Sam Altman?

I like him. Do I trust him? Who do I trust? I like Sam Altman. Smart. Dario's smart. They're all smart. We're dealing with a very high level of IQ. Very very high level. That's a good thing. I like that. I like it. Did you see the story about my uncle?

The one who taught at MIT?

I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest. I'm fine, and I understand that stuff. You know, my uncle was at MIT for 41 years, and you know, I'm a—I believe in genetics, frankly, and I understand. I understand it much more than I think any president would, because I do have an ability on this. I have an ability on those things that were the new frontiers. 

What I've done is I've created, for instance, these massive plants have no—We have no electricity in our grid. These massive plants now are allowed to make their own electric—

The entire show is about how they are unfunded, underslept, understaffed, and the only people who manage to get out of that ER alive are either very lucky or somehow very privileged, but sure go off Adrian if paying 6k for a band-aid and then dying of sepsis anyway is your thing

Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

(September 23, 2026 at 10:44am)
Fake opinions to argue over…
- Never turn left on a first date.
- Every kindergarten student should have an unpaid internship.
- The periodic table is too sexual.
- Bigfoot should be allowed to vote.
- Having a dream is the same as reading a book.
- You can wear a crop top to a funeral if the deceased person was hot when they died.

UnitedHealthcare, which just posted profits of $5.5B for the 2nd quarter, takes your tax dollars under the pretense of providing coverage to Medicare patients. That’s up from $3.4B last yr bc they intentionally decreased the amount of medical care they will cover. That’s their entire business model
"The second quarter 2026 medical care ratio was 86.7% compared to 89.4% in the second quarter 2025," the company said of the ratio, which is the percentage of premium revenue that goes toward medical costs. "The year-over-year decrease was driven by benefit design and pricing discipline, member mix and medical cost management initiatives.”
