Good news: SunLife Financial sent me a refund check! Bad news: It was because they denied my policy for, according to them, failing to send all of my paperwork in on time. Um, I think faxing it in at least a couple days prior to the dead ... read more

musk says all human knowledge for ai training already 'exhausted'
A ridiculously arrogant statement.

constitutional amendment to allow trump third term introduced in the house
He'll be 82 by then. The minimum age is 35. Maximum should be 75.

citizens will be on their best behavior, because we'll be watching and recording everything: oracle ceo and trump megadonor larry ellison
Sounds a lot like that Tom Hanks film, The Circle, which didn't end well for Hanks's character

elise stefanik, trump's nominee for un ambassador, says israel has 'biblical right' to west bank
The Bible is not a legal document. Nobody has a biblical right to anything.

us diabetes rates rise to nearly 1 in 6 adults
It would help if food manufacturers would stop adding sugar to everything.

lapd didn't arrest the man riding around with a blowtorch for arson
Misleading headline. He WAS arrested and sits in jail, just not for arson.

study: not a single natural disaster can be blamed on climate change
Sounds about right.

mlb bans 2 fans who grabbed betts indefinitely
They were BANNED indefinitely, they didn't GRAB Betts indefinitely. Headline writing ain't what it used to be.

$7 million should just about do it.

" href="/pages/wef-adviser-hariri-the-planet-no-longer-needs-the-vast-majority-of-the-population/">wef adviser hariri: the planet no longer needs the "vast majority" of the population
Hariri actually used the word "world" not "planet," which is entirely different, but neither the world nor the planet ever did need anyone in particular. Still, everyone (other than murderers, rapists and pedophiles) has the right to exist, and elitists like Hariri can go straight back to hell.

" href="/pages/australia-drops-plan-to-fine-social-media-giants-accused-of-enabling-misinformation/">australia drops plan to fine social media giants accused of enabling misinformation
This is the problem with the new use of the word "drop." I can't tell if they're announcing new plans or have stopped planning.

" href="/pages/yankees-aaron-judge-and-dodgers-shohei-ohtani-win-mlb-mvp-awards/">yankees' aaron judge and dodgers' shohei ohtani win mlb mvp awards
They earned it but both disappeared in the World Series.

They never got it down to a science.
