Mark Cuban spells out how insurance companies, consultants, brokers, "PBMS" and others pocket big checks by padding health care expenses. He says big insurers (looking at you UnitedHealthcare) should be forced to divest non-insurance subsidiaries. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Gem found in a rabbit hole. Watching “One Battle After Another”. Re-reading “Vineland” by Thomas Pynchon. Reviewing Pynchon’s works. Leading to this delightful article he wrote on the proper loading of nuclear-capable Bomarc missiles onto cargo aircraft. en.wikisource.org/wiki/Aerospace…

Hey @AlaskaAir your PDX gate agents need help. The speaker volume at B3 was so low this a.m. that we couldn’t hear which group was boarding. When I did board, I said “It’d be nice if you could fix the speakers.” The snippy response was “I don’t control that.”

"DEFECIT"??? Is that a snide way if saying they played like s**t? Sadly, the page 1 typo is just the @Oregonian again showing what happens when there no more editors.

There no words. Actually, there are hundreds of words on page A4 of today's @Oregonian What's missing are editors.

Hey, @lyft is it true that you pocket 70%(!) of the fare????? I just paid $63. The driver showed me he gets only $19.

So the deal was meant to support the flood of lawsuits? You meant 'stanch', didn't you. (p. A4 @Oregonian 3/3/2025) #wherearethecopyeditors @AP

@ravindranize Hooray!

Professional news: I’m joining The New York Times to report on longevity, aging and brain health for the next several months. I’m thrilled to be on the Well team, whose reporting I’ve admired for so long. Reach me at mohana.ravindranath@nytimes.com with news tips and ideas!

All's well that ends well. The package was delivered by the original estimate. I don't know if the later date was an error or if they speeded things up when I complained.

When does 7 = 16? When @Fanatics says shipping will take up to 7 business days, but then after the order is placed the estimated delivery time is shown as more than 16 business days. So my order placed on 2/2 won't make it for Valentine's Day. Disappointing.

(Monday, February 10, 1936) — The Nazi Reichstag passed the ‘Gestapo Law’ today, investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority exempt from any legal review.

Big, lasting policy shifts have generally required changing the actual language of federal statutes and the actual dollars going into programs, things only Congress can do Trump evidently has something different in mind huffpost.com/entry/trump-se…
