I believe the reason other “similar” nations to the United States have longer live spans and higher happiness is that they don’t have Open Enrollment for health insurance.

Verizon: keep your plan as long as you want. Also Verizon: except when we want you to move, we will add surcharges and remove discounts until you move to a plan that’s more profitable for us.
Perhaps, if the FBI is correct, and Russia is behind bomb threats to majority-black polling sites, President Biden should allow Ukraine to use American weapons however the hell they want.
Meet the conservative women who are keeping their votes for Kamala Harris a secret— npr.org
“In political ads and campaign speeches, supporters of Vice President Harris have a message for Republican women: Your vote is private, and no one will know if you secretly vote for Harris.”
After months of covering the 45th President as a near-normal candidate, now the top of The NY Times home page has “What’s at Stake?” “Still more scandals” “Criminal Trials” “Foreign Policy was ‘Chaotic’” “Tariffs Would Rock Global Business” “Would dissolve more than 100 environmental regulations”🙄
Got home ready to take the dog out back before bed, and there’s a whole pack of coyotes out there upset to see us.
News outlets: “Job growth slows ahead of election” — missing context: Unemployment remains near historic lows.
I was just doing some experimenting with Apple Intelligence writing tools, and had a thought. After writing a multi-paragraph or multi-page piece, select all had select Writing Tools > Summary. This could give you feedback as to whether your piece buries or expresses your points.
Received a bunch of texts on the high school drop off text thread for the first time since iOS 18.1. {Snoop voice} Apple Intelligence {/Snoop voice} perfectly summarized the outcome of the conversation.
If you are an Apple Watch owner, you may want to switch to the Snoopy face. There are Halloween-specific animations today.
Each day of these Boston area brush fires has smelled different. Day 1: morning–campfire; afternoon—cigar Day 2: Lemon-scented floor cleaner
I want to know what’s burning in Middleton. It honest-to-goodness smells like a cigar in our backyard right now.
Keeping an eye on the air quality, and may not let my kids attend their sports practices this afternoon. A good way to visualize your air quality, and location of fires is with the Breezometer web site.
Wild fires burning all around the Boston metro. We have one burning a few miles down the road in Middleton. Smells like a camp fire in my backyard and I can even detect it in my closed up house. Just replaced my HEPA filter media this morning, and I have that running right next to my desk. 🔥💨
If I made a decision that lost my company 200,000 subscribers in a couple of days, I’d be instantly fired.
Two parents with three children is just hard. We need to restructure our economy so families can survive on one average income, so that a parent has the option to “stay home” should they choose. There are traditional gender roles here, so we would need to be intentional and considerate.
Seeing snow flurries this morning. Forecast has Halloween, a couple days from now, at 80°F. this-is-fine.gif
An excellent piece from @gruber@mastodon.social on the transparent cowardice of owners of the LA Times and Washington Post, and their anticipatory obedience to the orange potential autocrat. Profiles in Cowardice: Owner Jeff Bezos and Publisher William Lewis of The Washington Post
This is great advice I used to follow before APFS. I’m glad to hear it’s seamless again, and I should get back to doing this.
Anyone ever used a tool like Redact.dev? I want to remove all my tweets, Instagram and Facebook posts. I would then make the accounts private—not that I’ve posted to the Meta products in years. I want to hold the accounts to prevent someone from taking over my user names.
