Pentagon tightens controls over Stars and Stripes after calling it "woke" The new rules for the independent military newspaper are the Defense Department's latest effort to put extraordinary restrictions on journalists covering the agency.

Stars and Stripes editor-in-chief Erik Slavin told NPR on Saturday that this phrase makes him particularly concerned for his staff reporters who are members of the U.S. military, and who thus can be court-martialed for violations of its uniform code of military justice.

116,000 Minnesotans lost health care coverage this year. Highest uninsured rate in almost ten years.

Fund health care. Not this war.

Yes I believe we were on our way to a cabin we had rented out West, maybe outside of Bozeman. I remember we packed food and ate in parks along the way. But Sturgis was a cluster on I90.

We were in the car and realized Sturgis was going on. Nobody wearing masks and we had to get gas. It was creepy. And we were barely there.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

β€˜Claude’s constitution is an unfortunate development in AI governance that minimises human values, rules, and rights’, Jarovsky says.

But knowing what we know about Effective Altruism, perhaps that isn’t a defect, but the main feature of the product."

Important context: The average American cannot afford an unexpected $1,000 medical bill.

For the vast majority of Americans, this would be virtually the same as being uninsured.

I thought I'd have a Costco sample lunch in Chaska today. They were serving tofu nuggets so I took a pass.

During the pandemic, I would send things to my mom's assisted living facility in Chicago. They loved the giant jars of Jelly belly ! Also cases of things the facility could share with other residents like paper towels and toiletries.
