Again... AI is not conscious, and it is not human, and pretending that these are "rogue agents" and not negligent programming only indemnifies the tech bros Why in the world are people playing around with that? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/o...

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Feeling aimless now. Spent the past two years as caregiver, and before that, her go-to for every errand, chore, appt, etc. She passed this morning and this is the first time I've felt a burden of anything, and it's just heavy loss. I'll miss you forever, mom.

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

up late working on my autobiography

a passage from the book “the maniac” by benjamin labatut

Thus, I have withstood the humiliation of being turned into a figure of fun. A buffoon. A cautionary tale, scorned by lesser men raised high by the vulgar powers of the world. I simply do not care. I stand with my back to them, my knees never bent, my shield unbroken, my sword held steadfast at the hilt, plunged deep into my chest, buried there by my own hand as I rage and I rage and I rage. It is anger that sustains me now.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

My best friend and I have a podcast, and the most responsible thing we've done with it is refuse to release it. We began in 2015, and each runs a minimum of 2 hrs. This is really what needs to be the norm for 99% of podcasts. It's really just for those talking, so maybe just keep it that way.

Next week I’m having desperately needed spine surgery for a herniated disc that has caused debilitating pain for 4 months. Despite having “good” insurance it’s going to cost me $8,700. If you’re able, I could really use help paying the $6,887 that is due pre op. VenMo is thetigersez Thank you sm❤️
