Sometimes the most interesting stories happen just below the surface.

New: A vet who couldn’t get cancer treatment. Another unable to get surgery for a burst appendix. Trump officials claim their VA overhaul hasn’t harmed veterans, but our reporting in New Jersey reveals a healthcare system stretched thin and falling short. https://t.co/P6IuXzgvUU

Journalism is being gutted left and right

This alone should justify replacing him

[Gavinski’s Tutorials @gavinski_s]

Robert Henke (co-creator of Ableton Live, member of Monolake, writer, lecturer and installation artist) just put up an article on his blog explaining why he longer want to share knowledge about his cutting edge laser control software online, freely and generously, like he used to:

"Not because I am afraid of humans. I am afraid of machines. I don't want all my expertise and experience to become material for AI. I do not want to enable simple reverse engineering of a decade of work. Every description of functionality and concept of my engine is potentially a data point."

"This is a cultural loss, but inevitable."

I think it's worth trying what most have.
Among OECD countries, we're near last in infant mortality, on par with Romania.

2-4x depending on your skin color and what state you live in.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️BREAKING: Grok Build has left 35,000+ of its users' apps open to anyone, including apps from SpaceXSI.

The open apps held 3,784 medical exams of workers and a Tesla technician scorecard, plus a Navy contractor's roster and SpaceXSI's own sales plans.

The "secret" words in each app's link sit in its web address, which DNS logs record, security firm Claroc found.

Cursor, which SpaceXSI bought, says apps are private by default. Claroc's tests show otherwise.

SpaceXSI pulled its 24 apps after Ars asked. Most other data was still exposed when Ars published.

@krystalball So instead of helping future veterans, she went to get an award from them? They should have rescinded it right there.

Eleven House Democrats did the rotating villain thing and saved him!

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.

Laura Gillen (NY): $551K
Marilyn Strickland (WA): $371K
Steven Horsford (NV): $214K
Nancy Pelosi (CA): $166K
Julia Brownley (CA): $134K
Brittany Pettersen (CO): $125K
Lou Correa (CA): $80K
Frederica Wilson (FL): $39K
Melanie Stansbury (NM): $28K

@kenklippenstein I never stopped. Bro, I'm not buying a $50 plain black t-shirt, you are out of your friggen mind.

@AbdulElSayed Take notes @mcuban

[The Lever @LeverNews]

From the archives: In 2022, The Lever reported on Schumer’s family and ex-staffers lobbying for Blackstone, Amazon, Intel and Google while he controlled the Senate floor. A promised tech antitrust vote never came.

@JKSully313 @mcuban Well he should read it again if he can't figure out how M4A reduces OOP. He just uses technical jargon to convince gullible rubes on social media that he knows better than Pramila and that you should continue paying more for healthcare. He's just another middleman.

@theo Instead of virtue-signaling like everyone else on here, please educate us humble laypeople so we can make an educated decision. There's a lot of bad info out there, and a lot of people don't have time to sift through it.

[World_UnderCurrent @WUndercurrent]

@edgarrmcgregor I liked her too, she's done great work, but then she became just another tool for corporate Dems, disregarding the policies she had been advocating for in the past.
