It’s double illegal now. Everyone knows that’s when shit gets super serious.

At least a few do.

My arm is asleep but I don’t want to disturb her.

I mean, it’s their names.

In 1869, Goldman Sachs was founded by Marcus Goldman in New York City in a one-room basement office next to a coal chute. In 1882, Goldman’s son-in-law Samuel Sachs joined the firm.

Melon Fanta? Tell me more, that sounds delicious

I looked at the title and then looked the picture expecting something squishy and was very confused. But then it clicked and wow! Fantastic work, I love all the tendrils and the motion you’ve captured.

Although somewhat unrelated, I thought this excerpt from the article was interesting and sad.

Asked in an interview if he regrets Balatro’s success, he replied: "Honestly, yeah. Don’t get me wrong - this has changed my life in a lot of amazing ways. I’m so grateful. But I do miss that time before. It was just a hobby that recharged my batteries. Sometimes I think, ‘Maybe I would’ve been happier if I had never released this game to the public.’

I envision a website where you can get a Trump Bible and a pardon all in the same transaction. And you’ll pay far out the ass.

I have a couple of MagSafe powerbank from them which I love, but no wall chargers.

Sounds like it’s maybe defective. I don’t have that one specifically but I have several of their chargers and power banks and I’ve never had issues with them.

Prion diseases are scary shit and not to be fucked with.

I like to joke that the world actually did end in 2012 and now we’re in a weird purgatory type thing.

I’ve definitely dreamed or seated on project ideas off and on for years. I also like to think about pared down versions that might serve as a proof of concept that would be easier to execute. Sometimes I actually even build a thing.

It’s marginally better if you say you’re a child. Cancer-lite if you will.

You really should report this kind of thing. Don’t call the cops, they don’t even kind of care.

This is basically the beginning of Idiocracy.

My guess is that they wrote those themselves.

From his Wikipedia page, some selected excerpts:

Thompson joined UnitedHealth Group in 2004 and was named CEO of UnitedHealthcare government programs that included Medicare and retirement, and community and state divisions in 2021. Under his leadership profits at UHC went from $12 billion in 2021 to $16 billion in 2023.

The investigation revealed that in 2019, UHC’s prior authorization denial rate was 8.7%. Thompson became CEO in 2021, and by 2022 the rate of denial had increased to 22.7%. For both Medicare and non-Medicare claims, UHC declines at a rate double the industry average.

A lawsuit was filed against Thompson, UnitedHealth chairman Stephen J. Hemsley and two other senior executives in May 2024 for alleged fraud and insider trading due to failing to disclose an antitrust investigation into the company by the United States Department of Justice and by selling stock options before the probe was made public.

Very interesting. I wish the story told more.

South Korean police have arrested a CEO and five employees for manufacturing over 240,000 satellite receivers pre-loaded or later updated to include DDoS attack functionality at a purchaser’s request.

While neither company has been named, the two companies have been trading since 2017. In November 2018, the purchasing company made a special request to include DDoS functionality, with the South Korean manufacturer complying.

Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.

I like the trees in the background.
