As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀 The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica website screenshot shows a tool titled "Look Up Where Your Generic Prescription Drugs Were Made" and prompts the user to "Begin Your Search." Below John Oliver is a box highlighting the URL projects dot propublica dot org slash rx dash inspector.

On a positive note, I’d be curious what the hit rate is using this to find trafficked people.

Blue states can implement, red states can enjoy their vote until regime change. Better luck next time. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Do we actually know how to make cities safer for women?
Women-only buses, catcalling fines and gender-sensitive design — we've tried them all.

n=1, I’ve come to the conclusion the only solution is to arm women at scale and let stand your ground and jury nullification work it all out. Like rabies in wild animals, have to assume the worst of the unknown human potential predator until proven otherwise. It’s unfortunate.

If we tried to invent libraries today, there would be outrage over lack of business model and monetization strategy. Shoutout to libraries across the world, including the Internet Archive.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Supply chain shocks and profitmaxxing under cover of inflation are certainly a component of materials increases, but labor cost increases are due to structural demographics and an aging population. The burst of US real estate prices was cheap debt markets funding the price spike, now deflating.

Why do you assume labor and materials was what drove prices up versus historically low mortgages rates due to unlimited mortgages backed security bond support by the Federal Reserve?

“We are watching US debt be appropriately priced based on its existing debt load, future debt curve, and a lack of pensions and central banks investing in US treasuries at below market prices.” The cost of the past was artificially suppressed, we are approaching true cost of debt.

If that’s all we ask for now, it will take another 5-10 years to move the community needle, which is only solved for by having more time to cultivate community. Do we have 5-10 more years on current trajectories? Doesn’t look great, imho.

You’re asking people to critically think and rationalize their way out of their identity and beliefs systems. This will not occur, they will lose their farms because of it. Is it sad? It just is. Humans are tricky.
