I think five different times since daylight savings I’ve looked up from my work to see that it’s dark out and said “oh damn it’s getting late, must be like 8 o’clock” and it was like 4:30 💀

I’M NOT HANDLING IT WELL

r/ExpectationVsReality u/Additional-Simple858 • 3d Join Al 'doctor' said my back pain is depression, not a slipped disc. Now physical therapy won't get approved. Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain).

Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.

My neighbor is shoveling the building’s front walk. Looks like 2-3” of wet snow in Uptown.

I’m in Illinois. Durbin, who’s retiring next year, voted yes and enraged his constituents yet again

That fucker!

this is the kind of thing that makes a difference

I also wrote a message on Dick Durbin's website.

schumer: don't worry, I've got us right where they want us

Hi, Sen. Durbin @durbin.senate.gov. PLEASE do not cave to the R’s by voting to reopen govt without fighting for ACA subsidies to be retained. You will ruin your legacy if you do.

Yes, this is the way

Tried calling Dick Durbin’s office and the recording informed me they’re open Mon-Fri 9-6. Can’t leave a message! And Durbin can’t be trusted.

lol

Too soon

50 years later, the mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald still haunts the children of its lost crew “This time of year when the gales of November kick up, it’s almost impossible not to think of the men on the Fitz.”

After years of living in Minnesota I felt I’d had my fill of the annual Edmund Fitzgerald stories, but @christalawler.bsky.social & @janahollingsworth.bsky.social found some new ones and tell them beautifully. No paywall:

My aunt in the Chicago suburbs got a dusting of fluffy snow this morning. I’d laugh that the burbs got snow and I didn’t, but my lakefront area is up for lake-effect snowstorm tonight.
