I just got an advertisement for Heelys, but my first thought was this has to be a secret partnership with my medical provider.

ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...

I was just casually strolling through the deserted office suite today taking pictures pre-renovation, preserving the Backrooms vibes, when I discovered the floor was not deserted. I don’t like this game! {No spoilers on Backrooms. It’s on my list of movies to watch.} I do love this building.

Sometimes I use a cane for ongoing back and knee issues, either when dealing with an active flare or when I’m far from home and it’s going to be a long day. Unless the cane is flying at you, don’t worry about it. Or if you have a cane, too, and want to fence, that is also acceptable. En garde!

They keep using that line and they are lying. People inside the camps routinely say that guards deny them medical care. Here are some examples of the medical neglect immigrants have experienced at the hands of detention camp guards.
Such physical harm is in addition to CoreCivic staff denying children medical attention or otherwise neglecting the safety of detainees, the brief claims, such as:

Placing a two-month-old baby in isolation with his 15-month-old sister who had COVID and other illnesses, which led him to develop a respiratory illness.
Giving a child with a severe tooth and gum infection a liquid diet for more than 20 days while the underlying infection persisted.
Telling a child during a medical exam to come back in three days because they thought he was exaggerating his symptoms, when in fact he was suffering from appendicitis and needed to go to an emergency room.
Failing to give a child with Hirschsprung’s disease the specialized treatment or diet she needed, “resulting in the child going 34 days without a bowel movement, and experiencing extreme pain, fevers, and vomiting.”
