A mostly submerged iceberg, with blue sky above and the blue arctic sea below. The view is more like a cross-section, rather than from above or below. The bulk of the iceberg is under the water and blurry. Visible towards the bottom of it is a dim glowing rectangle that looks like a window. Sticking out from the top of the iceberg is a small red mailbox, the mailbox post covered in snow.

“Fluoride bugs me from a structural perspective. Because it stiffens the teeth so much, it also makes them prone to chipping. Something I learned with 3D Printing is that stiff materials break easier, but the softer or more flexible materials can withstand hard impacts.”

As a little kid I *loved* ochre stars. They were my favorite tide pool finds, in their vivid purples and oranges. Later I forgot to cherish them, until sea star wasting disease wiped the coast clean in 2014. Now I never fail to tell each one that I love them and they're doing a great job.

One country is not like the others. Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita & life expectancy (lines = averages). The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate & below-average life expectancy. More www.oecd-ilibrary.org/social-issue...
This chart pertains to OECD countries.

Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes. 
There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the
38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further
11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant).
Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average
but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems,
notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain,
Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with
much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.

A few of my personal favourite Little Guys:
an image of object ROM 2020.79.12, a handmade toy from 1970s Mexico. It is in tbe form of a monkey seated on the ground, and features a tuft of hair on top of its head. The monkey figure holds its front paws/“hands” up in the air. It is hand painted, and the face features wide open eyes.A photo of ROM 988.102.1, a carved netsuke mouse made from wood. The mouse’s overall shape is quite rounded, its front paws hold a seed near to its mouth, and its tail is tucked under its body. The fur has been carved in detail, and its face features small round black eyes (one shown in the image) and large, rounded ears. An image of ROM 980.138.22 a contemporary Japanese woodblock print by artist Kiyoshi Saito. The figure of a cat is suggested through the use of minimal forms - three legs, two ears, and a face featuring asymmetrical eyes. The artist’s signature stretches across the bottom of the print. Image of ROM 967.213 - a metal weathervane in the form of a rooster. 

The piece features a remarkable level of detail in craftsmanship - rather than a typical weathervane rendered as a two dimensional form, this is a fully realized 3-d rooster form, with individually cut wing and tail feathers and detailing on the head including an upper and lower piece forming the beak, comb and wattle.

I've covered UnitedHealthCare before, over a year ago. The video was recirculated by the YouTube algorithm after the shooting. But if me calmly and accurately explaining what your company does comes off as a 'threat' or 'motive' perhaps that's more a problem with your company than the speaker!

Now that there’s been an arrest I feel safe sharing this story: TMZ reached out to my job asking if I worked there. I called them up to see what they wanted. They claimed to have multiple sources saying I was the killer, then expressed shock that the NYPD hadn’t contacted me yet. Call audio:

262 words is not a manifesto. A manifesto should be so long and rambling that its sheer size deters people from reading it. It should look like you need a briefcase full of ragged, yellowed typing paper to lug it around in and wave at people. It should be usable as a melee weapon in an emergency.
