Social media providing information on abortions to authorities has been a worry for a while now. Maybe it's not a worry to you though. Also, Meta claims they didn't know it was about abortion. They were told it involved "skeletal remains." Are they telling the truth? And if they did know would they have acted different?

Nebraska woman charged with helping daughter have abortion Investigators uncovered Facebook messages in which the two allegedly discussed using medication to induce an abortion. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/09/nebraska-woman-charged-with-helping-daughter-have-abortion-00050763

So, is the maximum prescription drug costs for seniors of $2,000/year pegged to inflation? That's really damn good if it's not.

What an idiot. He really should not be allowed to walk away from this though. It should be like student loan debt or fines from sentences. They should be taking it out of his Social Security.

Just watched all the eps of the "The Bear" on Hulu. Really excellent first season. It's about this young chef trying to reform a really screwed up restaurant in Chicago. The actor was one of the older kids on Shameless.

6 HOURS AGO Kyrsten Sinema is seeking a couple of changes to Democrats' party-line bill. She wants to nix the carried interest provision and add drought funding. The Arizona Democrat still hasn't said whether she would vote for the tax, climate and health care deal. https://www.politico.com/minutes/congress/08-3-2022/sinemas-ask/

What's really stunning is not that he's acting out as Saul, but how stupid it was. That isn't really like him. He hired a 2nd-story man to do the burglary precisely so that he doesn't get caught no matter what happens. But the guy with the dog backs out and now he's volunteered himself? And not only that but the target has been out hours and may wake up. So he's beyond acting out and is spiraling. The Kim thing fits. But also the guy making a moral stand might have triggered him due to his father. There's an old episode where he saw his father as a weakling. The situation is somewhat like when Walter White insisted on Lydia's plan to use the Nazis to kill Mike's guys in prison. Although that plan wasn't dumb, just evil. But the insistence on the rob the cancer guy plan going forward at all costs.

Utter BS. They've had repeat bias during this crisis against medium to late 40's people. I mean I was trying to get my first shot and they gave my 22-year old nephew it a week before me. I was furious.

It wasn't a nursing home, but some creditors did contact me when my parents both died. I guess their mindset is if you are stupid enough to pay it you deserve it. I was not stupid enough to pay.

For quite a while there I thought Saul's plan was to slowly murder the security guard using Cinnabon. It did finally come together. I think the point was the guy can't rat on him as he has several crimes over his head he can give to the authorities. Seems crazy to burn an entire episode on this though and this late in the game. Kind of like the tunnel building scenes and some of the other Mike stuff. I appreciate the attention to detail, but I don't think we needed to go through a whole ep with this.
