Anything Microsoft built lately is dogshit. They turned Windows into a steaming pile of shit over the past 20 years. When you think it can’t get any worse, they somehow raise the bar on disappointment.
No doubt it will be loaded with a shit ton of tracking/telemetry to build new datasets and train LLMs. Mining data from kids/teenagers and building those ad profiles early on is key.
Repairability will likely be shit as well.

What a wild timeline this is. Dude sacrificed himself to life in prison to potentially inspire a generation of change.
A crazy twist would be Biden (shit even Trump) pardoning this guy not out of wrongful persecution but rather to deplatform him from giving the health industry a bad rap and possibly inspiring other murders.
Wild. Caught with the fake ID used to check in to the hostel; the gun (ballistics likely to confirm if same one used in hit); and walking around in public while a multi-state manhunt is underway. The balls on this dude, lmao.
I thought he would have fled the USA by now using a ticket bought in advance. Guess he wasn’t as smart as we thought. Or just got complacent.
Alternative theory: he wanted to get caught, and put on a display in front of the courts and get a message out.
Sounds like a desperate tactic to get perpetrator to make mistakes (ie, tickets bought hastily to leave country). Sudden plans to leave the country or travel domestically are often flagged by the feds for follow up. The practice was supposedly put on hold [1] but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in situations like this.
In my opinion, police wouldn’t bother releasing this statement. If it was real, investigation would continue and the next statement/story would be “we have the person in custody”.
I call bullshit.
Probably just AI generated slop. Didn’t even bother with using the in house PR team on it.
“Generate a sympathetic statement for death of person. Keep it under 50 words.”
I don’t see assassin as “hero” or “heartthrob”.
Our high trust society has eroded due to massive corruption at the highest level (SCOTUS popularity/trust plummeted) , late stage capitalism and catering to billionaires, and incompetent politicians. The incoming administration will be without a doubt no help in this aspect.
The assassin has unfortunately become “necessary”. I don’t praise his actions but I understand why this person decided to take it into their own hands (ie, family or loved one impacted by “deny, delay, defend” policies).
Doesn’t even include ambulance ride. City EMS is out of network for UHC
5X upgrade in bounty from $10K offered by crime stoppers. Investigation must be drying up. Probably be up to 6 figures by end of month
This company is absolutely tone deaf to the animosity around the death of this company units CEO.
For decades they have been the dealers of death across the United States through their “delay, deny, defend” industry policies. Historical, among the worst offenders of this practice and it shows in their stock price.
So now they act shocked when 1 no name, piece of shit (he was behind the decision to use AI to deny claims…), rich cunt gets gunned down in the streets like a stray dog? To UHC, this should just be another business day, business as usual.
Short term results of his death:
Long term:
One thing I do notice is an increase in bi-partisanship around the death of this one person. If it gains enough traction beyond the memes, could this be the catalyst that unites the working class against the rich thus causing real and permanent change?
One can hope, but I’m honestly not holding my breath.
The few times I paid for it, the solutions were often wrong as well. Very infuriating.
Kroger facility in Austin, TX is closing down on 5/25. Never knew we even had one here (no clue how they got my email though)
🤷♂️
Not looking forward to the next 4 years.
4 more years of massive deficit spending (tax cuts for the rich, bullshit trickle down economic theory), more money flowing to the billionaire class, public services getting decimated in funding, and regulatory agencies already knee capped with SCOTUS overturning “Chevron deference”.
These tariffs (or threats of tariffs) only stand to benefit billionaires and companies. As we learned during pandemic, companies often increased the cost of items even though the internal supply chain was not actually impacted. It was a way to squeeze consumers under the guise of “supply chain issues”.
