The government illegally took your money.

They won’t give it back.

To recap:
Anthropic refused to do killbots or mass surveillance. DOD trying to destroy company.
Altman: we are now working with DOD, who totally respect safety and oppose mass surveillance!
Why would anyone trust a word Altman says after this?

This Little-Known Appeal Could Force Your Insurer to Pay for Lifesaving Care. Here’s How to File It. When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed β€” and potentially overturned β€” by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

She certainly did and she definitely was….

As a young(er) woman during her tenure as the governor, she was/is one of my personal heroes. I channeled her when I defended my honors thesis to a panel of 5men/1woman professors.

Describing Hegseth as an Arse in an official tweet is a masterstroke.

never mind they're designating Anthropic a supply chain risk and trying to knife the company for refusing to make killbots and domestic surveillance systems for the US government. absolutely insane, shameful, and corrupt behavior

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Another self-congratulatory:

β€œTears in his eyes”
β€œPraises trump for his good sex life with his wife because he’s now making tons of money and isn’t a loser anymore in his wife’s eyes because of…. trump (??)”

Only truth is he thinks all men pay for sex like he does.
