UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Almost like there is an inherent level of dishonesty and criminality encouraged by the SV model.

I'd like to have a country where we don't have a competition over who can build the best concentration camp. Thank you very much.

Great breakdown on Worldcon's AI screw up.

Shot in the dark here but is there anyone I know who is working on proposals for la2050.org around any of the following issues: play, games, education, mental health, STE(A)M or jobs training?

It's awesome that the dipshits in charge of national security are worse at infosec than the old grouchy Luddite professors I worked with a decade ago. www.wired.com/story/tulsi-...

These fucking assholes. What do you do when the opposition party is happy to hand wins to the fascist dipshits and also help the oil companies fucking over the planet. Hope that someone in the Anaheim/Orange area is primarying Correa. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

Glad to see the Democrats finally doing something....oh...oh no. www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...

What the hell is wrong with these people? Lutnick “This is the new model, where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here. You know, we let the auto plants go overseas.” www.yahoo.com/news/lutnick...

Oh good, an even more militarized police force with less accountability. Plus pro bono legal aid the next time cops summarily execute kids or protestors. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The life partner and I went to see Sinners tonight. It's as good as you heard and may be my new fav vampire flick.

Good news everybody! The tech bros have reinvented slavery!* *Only kidding, we've been doing this shit with prisoners since the Civil War.

So she wants D's to be "strong and ignorant"? That sounds kinda fashy.

No money for medical research but money for a weird fucking statue garden to celebrate "our heroes, values, and entire way of life" Which three people on the list are you most surprised by? For me; Kobe Bryant, Billy Graham, and Sam Walton trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential...

It's worth noting that the LAPD is bitching about their budget being cut (they're not getting an extra $1mil for ammo and are going to have overtime cut) but maybe they should focus more on the fucking misconduct that cost the city nearly $600 million the past two years. laist.com/news/politic...

How bad is this year's budget? You can hear us discuss on the latest LA Podcast: thelapod.com/episode/the-la-shitty-budget But you don't have to take our word for it. City department after city department have sent scathing letters to the budget committee begging council not to make these cuts 🧵

This ‘College Protester’ Isn’t Real. It’s an AI-Powered Undercover Bot for Cops 🔗 www.404media.co/this-college...

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

it's not looking good folks

It's Shut The Fuck Up Friday! This below is good advice. Know how the state will come after you and adapt. Check out the @eff.org Border Search Pocket Guide: eff.org/document/eff... FUCK BORDER PATROL, FUCK ICE, FUCK DHS!

Members of the sheet metal and transportation workers union SMART rallied Friday against the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a first-year sheet metal apprentice wrongly swept up in ICE enforcement, wrote Steve Morse, member of SMART Local 104: laborrise.org/union-and-im...

'The market stabilized so we're going to be okay' uh no, the market stabilizing isn't a sign that things will go back to normal, but a sign that the wealthy psychopaths that run the market think they've figured out how to make a profit off the incoming economic pain.

Just a reminder that if you have a friend or family member who works for ICE you have a patriotic duty to tell them what miserable nazi fucks they are at every opportunity.

Given the success of both the Mario Bros and now the Minecraft movie it's only a matter of time before we get a Roblox movie, but it won't be authentic unless it's made with 100% child labor.

Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone! Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.

I don't know how to yell this any louder, but we are well past the 'First they came for...' part of the poem and moving into 'then they came for' territory. theins.ru/en/news/280037

“What if we added a woman with a facelift to holocaust footage” is truly the Trump aesthetic.

If you're critical of the US government and you are planning to cross the US border any time soon, today is a good day to review EFF's border search pocket guide: www.eff.org/document/eff...
