Bro, if your doctor is doing a cognitive test every time you get a physical, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not because you keep acing them.

are Tesla owners aware they don’t have to tell the Facebook group everything
Tesla Model Y group • Join Frances Newton Griner • 1d • G
Just want to report I am 84 and boyfriend 89. We were on a long trip in my Tesla from Central Florida to Northern Indiana to see our families. Had a great time.
Tesla did a wonderful job. Sadly to say on the 12 day, and almost home, my friend lost his balance going up the curb at McDonalds and fell backwards onto the concrete. Severe head trauma and he passed away. So sad, but will try to only remember all of our happy times.@

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...
Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

We should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.

Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse. 
 
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  
  
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
 
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
 
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

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.”
