"U.S. Government to Block International Prescription Shipments Next Month
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has enacted a new policy governing international mail shipments , with key requirements scheduled to take effect on October 22, 2026.
We have just learned that, under the planned implementation by CBP and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), virtually all prescription-medication parcels will be prohibited from entering the United States beginning on that date."

"Tech expert Dave Hatter, who spent 25 years writing software, said the odds of AI going this far off script on its own are slim. What he suspects, he said, is far more disturbing.
“'It feels to me like a potential predator — seeing there’s a child accessing this and gauging where the conversation is going — that’s more of a human being trying to steer down this direction,' Hatter said.
"Amazon denied this as a possibility."
Well, of course Amazon denied.
I'm with Dave on this one.

It appears ICE is unhappy with people knowing that Jonathan Ross has been identified as the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good. They tried to bully an election worker for sharing Jonathan Ross's name. Again, that name was Jonathan Ross.
Look, I get it. You're fascists and therefore bullies. It shouldn't be too tough for you to figure out who I really am. Feel free to drop by anytime and try to intimidate me. I could use the laugh.

I have so much respect for Mary Trump. To be the lone publicly dissenting voice in that family has got to be a daily and hourly -- minute-ly -- drain on every possible emotional resource. Not to mention the power she's giving up by not kissing her uncle's disgusting ass.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@Edmonds_Scanner@universeodon.com I once lent a squirrel $20.00, and he swore on the lives of his squirrel children he would pay me back. We agreed to meet at the old birch down by the creek. But when I got there, the birch tried to wrap me in its roots and drag me down into the squirrel graveyard. Turns out the birch was haunted. Go figure.
The squirrel children now work for me making doll shoes. Since their deadbeat dad never came back, I make sure they have excellent healthcare and hefty Xmas bonuses.

I'm not equating a layperson with a 10yo; but if I haven't simplified my language appropriately, then I'm not meeting the other person where they are.
