Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Let them fail, do universal bailouts to every American instead.

Sir, about the bread and circuses strategy, we've been getting a lot of questions about the bread, and also the circuses

View from a mirror at a thrift store showing legs wearing sky blue tall cowboy boots with a design in front featuring three white diamonds stacked vertically with red starbursts in each diamond.

I found the best boots at the thrift store today. My child pointed out that I have nowhere to wear them and she's totally right, but I bought them anyway because I knew I'd regret it for years if I didn't. For $14 I'll figure out the logistics later.

I feel like Bluesky making an announcement about changes to the product on a blog post instead of via Bluesky posts is a really telling statement about how frivolous they consider the product itself. To not even summarize the post in the thread seems wild to me.

That’s a fantastic comparison, because the reason they added lead to gasoline was just to increase convenience a tiny bit, and they’ve poisoned the world in the process.

The good news is: Impossible as it may seem, we banned it worldwide and its bad effects are now mostly gone.

Makes you think.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Halloween decorations have gone too far.

It looks like TANF has some paternity requirements tied to it too: www.cga.ct.gov/2011/rpt/201...

I would have to investigate, I just remember it being a plot point in several books I've read because the woman refused to admit who the father was so she got nothing from the state.

Isn't that already the case? I thought single moms couldn't even get support from the state until they named the father to have his wages garnished.

On my way to London for a business trip and it looks like I'll have a decent amount of downtime during the day. Any recommendations for shops/ restaurants/ small tourist things for me to do?

I feel like this is really dependent on the original coat, though. If it's really cheap in the first place double the cost seems worth the 5%.

Look, I do actually WANT to talk to my computer, but I DON'T want AI in the mix so much more that I'll end up turning off all of these features immediately.

They are gonna push this narrative so hard when the time comes that they realize it's human rights trial time, and I need America to be serious for once in their life

Related point: in college I tutored PreMed students in Gen Chem and let's just say it gave me a HEALTHY distrust that doctors know what they're doing.

I'm sorry, there is just no way it's only Monday night (and not even very late at that). It must really be Wednesday or Thursday already, I'm not tolerating any of these shenanigans.

Honestly I haven't seen Gemini do anything useful, it just makes text longer on demand.

This post brought to you by lack of video controls AND lack of auto advance for slides.

Why is Google Slides so bad?! I keep going, "Oh, I'll just do this simple thing I've been able to do in PPT for 20 years" and... NOPE.

My flight to Boston is delayed a bit but somehow now lands earlier than it did before? Here's hoping it's enough to get me on the ground before the storm grounds all planes in/out of Logan...

To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

Companies should realize that while C-Suite Execs and finance bros think the tide has turned to the far right — it hasn’t. Going conservative will absolutely cost you money.
Entertainment especially 👀

There's definitely a "swampiness" factor when I use the Pro filters, but the Everyday filters cut down on that. I also need to make sure the foam ring is fully seated next to the nose to fill out that part of the gasket, and I can tell immediately when it slips out of position and the seal breaks.

I found that with disposable masks I often had to hold my jaw in a certain position to keep a good seal, which caused fatigue and headaches. When I switched to FloMask the silicone gasket made such a better seal on my face that I could relax and don't have any pains even after hours of use.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

She looks SO satisfied. It was 100% worth it.

Also important to note: that Ford's pardon of Nixon was allowed to stand is part of the road that brought us the weapons of mass destruction lies that brought us to birtherism to the Tea Party to Trump--twice.

Without lasting consequences, white supremacists and Christofascists will never stop.

Everyone needs to take a good hard look at the demographics of everyone writing think pieces and theses and breathless social media posts about how our current situation couldn’t have been predicted in full.

Because the demographics are glaring.
