RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

On this day 20 years ago, Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow, on Putin’s 54th birthday. She had spent years reporting on Putin’s Russia and exposing atrocities committed during Russia’s war in Chechnya. Dozens of journalists have been killed for their work under Putin.

"Death becomes her" is a pretty good old movie.

They deserve ridicule, but not for their looks, unless they opted for the Mar-a-Lago face (MAGA plastic surgery trend), which, honestly, she might have, Reddit opines. And gosh, do all these people have to be so extra weird? (apparently...) www.reddit.com/r/popculture...

This woman looks AI-edited or something. What's with the arms and waist proportions? Sorry, I don't mean to shame but this is genuinely weird...

These were identical trips, loaded via identical referrer URLs. The difference was that in the browser where Air Canada knew that I was an extremely loyal and prolific customer, they had whacked me with a *44.8% premium* to punish me for my loyalty!

Swedish medical research sometimes suffers from a big dollop of not invented here syndrome. As well as there are some schools here convinced that CBT can solve close to everything.

I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

I am sorry, but it's really funny that with 3 lines of a call to both: * "don't vote communists in the office" * "vote red" How about ... don't vote red (and then you won't get communi^H^H^H^H^Holigarchs in the office)!

Well, this is cute. I looked up an #AirCanada flight in Firefox and then pasted the URL into a Chromium window where I was logged into my #Aeroplan Elite account. Air Canada added $300 to the flight price when I tried to load it from a logged-in browser. Hell of a customer loyalty perk!

Ah, it's not the only story but him being an asshole in the business contest, and maybe a narcissist weirdo are stories more localized within tech.

Deep sympathy here. Thirty minutes after going on vacation in December, cut a pinky deeply with a brand new extremely sharp (moreso than usual for some reason) fancy kitchen knife. After giving 354236 lectures about it to the kids too for the previous three days.

Ah, I was concerned the missing "not" was on purpose, but sounds like it was accidental?

Yes, right you are, but that means properly overboiling them on purpose. There's the stage of "oops, just went over the boiled" stage that has a pretty disgusting texture...
