Fun fact: 63% of US workers can't afford a $500 expense
  • Did they now? When will the Pharma part take effect? Are court cases heading to the Supreme Court to overturn that function?

    Personally, I don’t think the IRA means anything for Pharma companies. SCOTUS will get their backs and block anything that cuts their profits as unconstitutional. It’s 6-3 and they love love love Pharma companies.

  • The unconstitutional plan to stop women from traveling out of state for an abortion, explained
  • I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

    You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

    Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

  • An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway
  • Nearly all land near small runways and airports that fly planes using AvGas will have lead contamination. That’s because lead is still used in most aviation fuels a consumer plane would use. Runways are also required to have and use PFAS in firefighting foam for emergencies. Training and system tests will dump that stuff in the surrounding area.

    Unless these fine folks have A380s they’re paying a hefty premium for lead exposure and PFAS in their water and soil.

  • Elon Musk Threatens To Sue Anti-Defamation League For X’s Lost Ad Revenue
  • He’s so wealthy he could personally go to your neighborhood and “Mansa Musa” your place into inflation. He could just drop $10,000,000 per person to get up and leave whatever square mile surrounding your residence right now.

    Assuming avg population density for a city in the US that’s only $2.8billion (~280 ppl/mile in cities). Not even a scratch to his total net worth.

    A single person with that much wealth and power doesn’t require any attention to retain it. He’ll keep coming out on top because it’s nearly impossible not to when you reach a large enough number.

  • Decades of mercury exposure has been linked to the high youth suicide rates in an Indigenous community in Canada
  • Typically as a vapor, even. And it has a fairly low vapor pressure for a liquid. Not even that much vapor is needed.

    It’s an immense amount of liquid mercury - especially since it probably had organic compounds in it too. Bioavailable mercury is truly fucked stuff, and those responsible for this should live the rest of their lives in a chemical shed.

  • Telephone operation was a good career for women. Then it got automated.
  • “We had authors and artists, but AI is so much more efficient they’re unnecessary.”

    LLMs are coming for artistic and creative functions first. Is human creativity and artistry unnecessary?

    Historically automation was on rote/repetitive tasks. This is a bit different.
