Etiquette. Remember, once upon a time, when it was considered rude to use your cell phone in public? Or when it was rude to even have it on in a place like a theater or a library? And then, almost overnight, they decided to make it as difficult as they possibly could to let people even exist without being glued to their telephone? This will go the same way. We’ll shun these spyglass people as we once did the Bluetooth headphone assholes, and in a year or two the declining rate of profit will mean the spyglasses will be mandatory. They’ll have to start colonizing more and more aspects of our lives, so we’re not allowed to order food without our glasses automatically uploading a photograph to Instagram or some bullshit.
Thanks for the link.
It’s bad out there, folks.
“These care delays aren’t just inconveniences, they aren’t annoyances,” Heather McComas, PharmD, director of the AMA’s administrative simplification initiatives, said during the webinar.
“Our physicians are saying that prior-authorization care delays actually hurt patients: 80% of physicians reported that prior authorization can lead to patients completely abandoning a prescribed or ordered course of care,” McComas said. “Most alarming, one-third of physicians reported that prior authorization has led to a serious adverse event for a patient in their care. And a serious adverse event is something like hospitalization, permanent impairment or even death.”

The median age in the United States is 38, which is the highest it’s ever been. That makes some of us the most middle-aged people of all time.
An inauspicious debut if so. This one is the worst in a while. I like seeing '70s Kelly, though
Some more of his vetoes, mostly from last year:
A union-supported bill that would have banned driverless testing of autonomous trucks
A bill that would have banned solitary confinement lasting longer than 15 days - something that the UN considers torture.
Compare this (and Biden’s) statement to what the Democrats all said when Trump’s ear was pierced. Not one mention of bloody hands!
It has me very worried, the way Biden and Harris and Blinken and the New York Times are all insisting that anything and anyone “Iran-backed” deserves to die.
He’s going to pull a Mr. Burns and block out the sun so as to induce demand for his fake sun, even though he doesn’t believe induced demand is a thing
He’d provide much-needed age balance to the ticket, but they would never
Truthout: Kansas City Tenants Launch National Rent Strike to Demand Federal Rent Cap
Tenant unions protesting dismal living conditions at two apartment complexes in Kansas City, Missouri, have voted to withhold rent on October 1 if their demands are not met — the opening salvo in what organizers say is the first coordinated rent strike aimed at pressuring federal regulators to cap rent increases and protect tenants from abusive corporate landlords.
…
The Tenant Union Federation said tenants organizing in North Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, South Carolina, Kentucky, Montana and Illinois are preparing to join the picket line and vote in the coming weeks on withholding rent from corporate landlords that similarly benefit from federally guaranteed financing.
The “underground metropolises” could be damaged or unsafe in some way, perhaps due to the pager / walkie-talkie explosions.
Living proof that if the Senate had 100 Democrats, there would be 51 Joe Manchins. There hasn’t been a single Republican elected to statewide office since 2006, and yet the Democrats still refuse to enact legislation.
