Robo-bike. || Place your bets. || Come, see her box and the base of her tongue. || Suboptimal. || Modernity, baby. || On asymmetrical multiculturalism, a short thread. See also. || The machine uprising, day 12. || Getaway car. || A guide to chopstick gaffes. || She’s energising her genitals. || More joys of public transport. || Newcomerliness. || A lively altercation. || But not enormously versatile. || A Night in a Soho Jazz Club, 1959. || Onions on a burger. || Shadow of note.

I struggled to get past the word healthcare.
Unnecessary surgeries in general fly under the radar. We really need to get that radar thing fixed. Why it’s almost as if…nevermind. Anyway, where are the professional medical associations in dealing with this stuff? Seems they have a primary responsibility to police their own.

Here’s some red state bullshit for you. First Fargo, ND PD fucks up by relying on AI, then the state of Tennessee (gee, isn’t there a fairly well known law professor in TN who spouts off about nearly everything but he somehow wasn’t aware of this) sends armed police to arrest this grandmother sitting in her trailer in TN, locks her up for months before extraditing her to Fargo. Six months in prison. Kafka would blush.
