They don’t have the entire Mastodon functionality yet but it is awesome we can follow Biden on Mastodon.

If that’s the case I will go to Mastodon. But I would love to follow Biden on kbin.

Because dictators are many orders of magnitude worse.

Can anyone tell me how I can follow President Biden from kbin.social?

Can you explain how you know this link path to someone who doesn’t?

That is idiotic. But the idiotic problem the article highlights (AI’s enshitification of search results) is more serious.

This is awesome. I did not know there was a ‘media bais checker’.

Why would you fear Medicare? Real Medicare is the best health insurance in the US.

Granted allowing hamas to run as an armed group was likely a mistake.

Agreed. Hamas should not have been allowed to run in the election.

I mean in both cases its really just basically a coup but in the case of palestine it happened realy fast.

Practically every 3rd world country went thru this in decolonialization. It was called “one man, one vote, one time”.

It suggests democracy was the issue when hamas murdered Fatah members.

Hamas would not have been in a position to exert that power if they did not have the majority control they got from winning the election. It’s like when the Nazis came to power from elections they started murdering their opponents with nobody to stop them.

Convicted Rapist Treason Trump brought back the junk plans.

A 13-year-old Texas boy has been found “the equivalent of guilty” in the murder of a Sonic restaurant worker with an AR-style rifle after the child’s uncle got into a fight with the employee, according to authorities.

The boy was arrested on May 13 after police received calls about a shooting at the Sonic Drive-In in Keene, Tex., about 30 miles southwest of Fort Worth, according to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office. The boy, who was 12 at the time of the shooting, was found “delinquent,” which is the equivalent to guilty in juvenile court, of a murder charge on Oct. 5. The boy, who is from Fort Worth but hasn’t been publicly identified because of his age, was convicted after nearly seven hours of deliberation, the sheriff’s office announced Sunday.

The boy is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, the sheriff’s office said. A juvenile convicted of murder in Texas could face up to 40 years in prison, according to state attorneys.

Police say the incident unfolded when the boy’s uncle, Angel Gomez, started urinating in the parking lot of the Sonic on the night of May 13. Matthew Davis, a 32-year-old Sonic employee, confronted Gomez, 20, for “being disorderly in the parking lot,” and the argument between them got physical, according to the Keene Police Department.

Then, Gomez’s nephew, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, retrieved an AR-style .22 rifle and shot Davis at least six times, according to police.

“A confrontation between two adults became physical at which point the 12-year-old boy got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots, striking the victim,” the sheriff’s office said on Sunday.

Davis was airlifted to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

By the time police arrived at about 9:40 p.m., the boy, Gomez and the boy’s aunt had fled the scene, according to the sheriff’s office. Gomez later returned to the scene of the crime and was arrested, the Keene Police Department said in a news release. Authorities found the boy in Rio Vista, Tex., about 13 miles south of the Sonic in Keene, and took him into custody.

Gomez is also charged with murder. It’s unclear whether he has an attorney, and court records were not available to determine the status of his case. If he’s convicted, Gomez could face a sentence of five to 99 years in prison.

These events are symptoms of the deeper malaise in America’s dysfunctional health-care system. The country spends about $4.3trn a year on keeping citizens in good nick. That is equivalent to 17% of gdp, twice as much as the average in other rich economies. And yet American adults live shorter lives and American infants die more often than in similarly affluent places. Pharmaceutical firms and hospitals attract much of the public ire for the inflated costs. Much less attention is paid to a small number of middlemen who extract far bigger rents from the system’s complexity.

Over the past decade these firms have quietly increased their presence in America’s vast health-care industry. They do not make drugs and have not, until recently, treated patients. They are the intermediaries—insurers, pharmacies, drug distributors and pharmacy-benefit managers (pbms)—sitting between patients and their treatments. In 2022 the combined revenue of the nine biggest middlemen—call them big health—equated to around 45% of America’s health-care bill, up from 25% in 2013. Big health accounts for eight of the top 25 companies by revenue in the s&p 500 index of America’s leading stocks, compared with four for big tech and none for big pharma.

Hey Alexa, only conservatives love to be lied to. All the rest of us dislike being lied to, and we think that the people who love to be lied to are the dumbest of the dumb. And an AI that lies is a useless piece of garbage.

So that explains how Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump got elected.

It doesn't happen with real Medicare. Only with Medicare Disadvantage plans.

Just put pseudoephedrine back over the counter again. Christ.

Absolutely. Pseudoephedrine is the real cold medicine. People were saying from the start that phenylephrine didn’t work. I almost never used it.

It is impossible for a company to have a “total monopoly over the internet” because the internet has a decentralized design.
