Two deaths in Michigan & 22,723 cases of cyclosporiasis across 47 states are reported. 🚨Wash & cook vegetables Wear PPE (gloves, gown, facemask, eye protection) when contacting sick patients with GI symptoms. Perform hand hygiene before & after patient contact. 🧵 www.instagram.com/p/DbrNpgGxjv...
For uneducated Americans only (because almost everyone else in the world knows this already): "Inshallah" is not a Muslim phrase. Inshallah is an Arabic phrase. Christians that speak Arabic, say inshallah. "Allah" is how you say God in Arabic. "Inshallah" is how you say "God willing" in Arabic.
"The Colorado River basin is home to 30 federally recognized tribes, and they have largely been excluded from discussions about sharing its water since the earliest attempts by white settlers to manage supplies."
Museums will say “settlers and indigenous people have a complicated past” and it’s just that settlers committed mass genocide
Regular Reminder: The Guardian is in a commercial relationship with OpenAI.
Well this turns out to be misleading! The LLM was used to rewrite human-written stories in commercial registers ("literary magazine", "published short story collection"). You'd have to read supplemental materials from a zip fle to know that was the methodology. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
"Joel" shares, "We're staking young apple trees, tying them to support them against the wind, in Parker WA. We're wearing masks as protection from the polluted air but it's still bad. I leave with a headache and very irritated eyes. The AQI is 189. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

This is heartbreaking. @kenjennings.bsky.social did so much damage and his actions caused a cascade that chased an innocent trans woman off the internet The fact that she has suffered all the consequences from his actions should make everyone stop and think about how privilege played out here

kalshi asks us to consider “what if your doctor could take a life insurance policy on you?”

DOGE gave US govt credentials to the Russians to steal our info. DOGE may be dissolved but the same people are still in the govt in leadership positions. Now they're feeding our info into AI. All of our information has been and will be stolen until they are stopped.
I need more ppl to be scared. As I've been bitching, I just lost my job & being replaced w/Ai. That's not the scary part. My job incl handling sensitive, private, medical info plus all your personal info up to SSN. It's all being fed to Ai & Ai is not covered under HIPAA. It's really fucking scary.

A teenager with diabetes in Gaza has to risk bombardment, walk through destroyed buildings & brave chaotic aid distribution sites in hopes of finding just one bottle of insulin. For health justice to become a reality, it must include Gazans, writes Lojain Naswhan in a new dispatch from Palestine.
In Gaza, displacement and chronic illness are a slow-burning crisis
For displaced Palestinians living with diabetes, accessing insulin is a matter of life and death

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.
I think it's worth pointing out that government agencies are giving each other advice on how to intentionally provide vague information that would make FOIA requests useless.
“Earlier this year, we reported that police in multiple states were being told to be “as vague as permissible” about why they were using Flock because their searches could be obtained using public records requests, and that warning was being shared by the FBI and Department of Justice.“

When cops use Flock to arrest someone in Wapello County, Iowa, they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for Flock cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. Story: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...
