Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
I get invited to talk about astronomy to elementary school kids. Gotta do heavy editing to Greek constellation stories.

The state of America: Cyndi Lauper changes the lyrics to Girls Just Want to Have Fun to Girls Just Want Fundamental Rights.....
Nobody is perfect. Having to fall in love with a politician doesn't get the competent ones elected.
B was Moscow. Yep, he sent thousands of test kits over to Pootie when we needed them here in the US.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Space Force HQ is being moved from Colorado Springs to Alabama. The orange felon ordered it. Class, why do you think that's happening? Anybody?
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
Just got back from the DMV.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. ๐ญ
He will probably give a live press conference at the same time the Epstein victims will be talking.
What were they arguing about
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
I was at an outdoor event last week at a park. Attendance was 110. 109 attendees were non-smokers. ONE knucklehead with a smelly cigar made several people want to vomit, and annoyed many others. I see how that works with guns.
He needs money to hire competent staff. DNC won't support him until he shows he can bring in lotsa cash.
Hopefully LWV people are nearby doing that.
X Files re-run. They would be so disappointed the baby is human.
Neighborhood get-together.
If you are not a billionaire cryptofascist, then no freedom for you. Next!
Temporary layoffs. Easy credit rip offs. Good Times.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Brilliant
Why a picture of three dudes? Fuck the patriarchy.
Long Covid?
PBS will show it...in 2047.
Absolute POS
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
I can't โค๏ธ this, but I agree.
Innervisions = best album ever.
Commercial radio stations did not want to play a song by a Black man about racism and injustice.
Would have preferred a photo of JB. So, so, so tired of seeing the ugly mugs of junior and the orange felon.
Coincidence? Looking at the graph, the sharp rise in union membership in the 1940's coincides with the massive industrial war effort for WW II.
RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if heโd like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
Isn't ICE outnumbering MS13 by the thousands? Meanwhile their arrests are at schools, shopping malls, farms and immigration courts. Typically places where gangsters hang out ๐คท. ICE is Gestapo, their actions are razzia's and their arrests and deportations to concentration camps are Nazi practices.
Remember when Flynn had to resign from running NSA for lying to VP Pence? Kennedy needs to resign for lying to Senator Bill Cassidy who was his last Senate vote he needed, and to whom he made direct promises he now denies ever making.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Back in the day, that's how our ancestors did it. And they went broke too.
RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are โriskyโ so theyโll shift to โtraditional, olderโ vaccine tech thatโs โsafer.โ Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americansโ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSAโs chief data officer, told
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. โThere's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ Chicago PD will not cooperate with ICE and federal agents. They will act to protect citizens of Chicago. They will not wear masks and will arrest people (ICE, etc) who assault and attempt to kidnap citizens. Mayor is signing executive orders as I type this!
His toxic Xtianity is a mental health issue. One very damaging to the US.
Corporate Americaโs playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
His pathetic remarks about getting into heaven made me recall Livia (in I'm Claudius) saying "I want to be a goddess." Good luck with that.
Another dude with brain rot from tertiary syphilis? Or a worm making him insane in the membrane?

Martha's Vineyard.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Techbros gone wild. How they got to be so racist and misogynistic is baffling.
Not nice people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_En...
Vance, like the orange felon, is just a puppet. The techbros, bazillionaires, and Proj25 gang run things and will continue to do so even after the duke of MaraLardo croaks.
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think itโs new and I love it!
Depends on the state sometimes. Liquid nitrogen--avoid.
They don't want you to sell it. They want to force you to rent it out as a surrogate for infertile couples. Sign right here.
It's there already. A few years ago, a Doc wanted me to take a Black Box antibiotic that has a known side effect of rupture of the Achilles tendon. I said no, I don't want to take that. He told me "You don't run marathons, don't worry about it." Fired him.
Rich people vacationing at the Vinyard, YOU are complicit. Take a bow. Own it.
Her parents are just as nuts saddling her with that name.

Get longer lenses, ignorant tourists. What, no real camera?
Never forget that the president who's signed 200 executive orders since January could declare that everyone gets free medical care including regular mental health screenings and therapy or that the AR-15 and all assault weapons are banned, but he's got long golf weekend coming up.

I'd run out of paper printing out all my medical treatment hospital notes. And I buy reams at a time.
2. Pritzker maybe.
Find a list of countries with no extradition treaties with the US. He'll flee to one of them, with all his golden crap.
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Donโt go along to get along 3. Donโt apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Awwww poor widdle wepublican legislator. Glad some people in Bama are waking up.
Yes, cis, white, young, easily manipulated men. They wouldn't know they had grievances unless they were told.
I'll bring snacks.
I couldn't have had life-saving surgery without first getting the 2 Covid vaccines. Put junior in jail.
Apparently some tech bazillionaire bros have a dystopian fantasy of them ruling the US, then the world. I know, they're psychopaths.
France, a few months ago, was actively recruiting US researchers.
Breaks my heart, but yes.
Really old egg salad.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America โ which we donโt currently have.
Thanks for that piece of information. Will save me from an argument at Walgreens.
White resentment got the orange felon elected. And now this. How do these disgusting pathetic losers live with themselves?
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.โs hand-picked panel of advisers.
How drunk do you have to be to ignore a metal staircase on your car. Surprised this hasn't shown up yet.
Yes, Tammy Duckworth came to mind. But both are from Illinois, and the Constitution says nope to that. Jasmine Crockett would be a killer VP pick.
Congrats! I was admiring that this morning. Looking at a day's APOD with coffee is my morning ritual. โค๏ธ
More training needed on how to set guidelines for civil discourse. A lot of kids may come from homes where calm discussions are unheard of.
And they make such bloody good cameras Mandrake. And cars.
While hospitalized, some of the nurses told me "You have to be your own advocate." And then when I speak up, I get eye rolls, "don't you worry little lady," and "we know what we're doing." Until they don't.
Misusing biology terms seems to come naturally to these nitwits. Kids in airports? They are probably stressed out by their parents making them hustle, they're jet lagged, and have been eating strange food. Shut the F up about kids at airports. Just shut the F up.
The car in the picture looks shiny. I've seen cars lately so un-shiny, I wonder if it's a stealth thing.
Was anyone expecting better than this? He's always been a maroon.

There's a popular color now that looks like what you get when you mix all the colors of Play-Doh together. A kinda gray-brown matte yuk. Why do people buy these?
SHAME!
