Security personnel,
The "shruggie" symbol is not an appropriate response to a security issue.

Every time I look at (US Insurance) explanation of benefits and see shit like
$2000 billed by doctor
$200 allowed charges by insurance
$0 paid by insurance (because deductible or something)
So basically, the people who get REALLY fucked are the cash pay patients, but also, the insurance pays very little of the final bill. So the only point of the insurance in the first place is to keep from paying the absurd cash pay price? I don't understand. US healthcare fucks you no matter what you do.
I keep getting offers from randos offering to setup various crypto currency things to sponsor me or curl.
I will NEVER agree to have my name associated with any crypto currency efforts/scams. There's no room for debate. A hard no.
Head's up, Mastodon users: There appears to be a coordinated effort to impersonate relatively high-profile people who have accounts on various instances but who have not used them in a while.
I've gotten several follow notifications - and a couple of DMs - from impersonators of people I know. The bogus accounts have lots of underscores in the handles, and they repost items from the past, sometimes years old. If you spot this, please report, do not engage, and then block.
Pls boost.
Our recent survey shows that Europe is ready to ditch US technology, in favour of private alternatives.

It's kind of impressive how widespread is the view among US foreign policy types and media figures that you can indiscriminately bomb another country and they will not only love you for it but immediately reform their entire country to be accommodating to your whims.
Like, it's never once come true but that hasn't stopped them from insisting on it every single time.
Don't get it twisted this attack on trans people in Kansas (how did they identify the people they sent those letters to? They have a list, the monsters.) is a trial, a test. Let them get away with it they will move on to the next smallest group they feel they could target without public backlash.
That is how this works.
This is reckless and destructive behaviour from a White House that has shown total contempt for human rights, international law and negotiations.
As always it's civilians who pay the price.
