This gets worse.

So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.

The Omanis rescued them.

“I didn’t notice the blood was being taken.”
Fernando Pares, CEO of ISA Saúde, a Brazilian healthtech startup, said after trying Shenzhen’s first automated blood collection robot deployed at a community health center.
He said the process was so fast and painless that he didn’t even notice it was happening.
After a quick scan, the robot completes the entire procedure—from disinfection to sampling—and delivers test results in about 15 minutes, helping streamline routine clinical work for medical staff.

This really worries me

A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood

But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one

I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x

One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency

Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home

He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E

He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor

As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit

If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't

I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system

This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal

My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption

A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus

It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad

Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention

Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

The problem with these initiatives is that they see the absence of peace as personal failings rather than a product of an unjust system in which one state is allowed to keep another people subjugated, kept flush with weapons, and granted complete impunity.

I read Anthropic's 319-page system card so you don't have to.

One paragraph buried in it just triggered the biggest AI backlash of the year, and a 24-hour apology.

Claude Fable 5, their most powerful public model ever, was quietly weakening its own answers for some users. They got caught. The fix deserves a closer look.

Here's the full story (and what survived the apology): 👇

[Tax Payer ⚖️ @mosalamandani]

He didn’t leave zionism for all the death and destruction it caused, he’s leaving because he has finally realized that as a dark skinned jew from Iran, he could never be accepted by the racist Ashkenazi jews controlling America and Isreal.

He’s leaving because they’ve been racist towards him. He’s leaving because they didn’t bring him close enough.

This is not a moral decision, it’s a decision made out of self interest and greed.

El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest in 150 years +??
NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory
This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #drought

China is at the global frontier for some new medical treatments, like CAR-T therapies for myeloma. These treatments are often several times more expensive or simply not available at all in other countries.
