Thank you for your candor here.

I'd have boycotted the Post for you if I hadn't already canceled my subscription a couple months before they let you go. Wishing you a good path upward and forward soon.

Does anyone else who watches Apple's "The Morning Show" find the the theme song intolerably annoying?

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

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.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Sorry to hear that.

For my first piece back from vacation, I blogged about the people who moved from Texas to Russia to escape gay people and then found out living in Russia kind of sucks:

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:
