Leave it to #Disney to never pass up an opportunity to continuously milk a franchise every single chance they get.
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Disney's attempt to reset the clock on the film's #Copyright term. It's been ... forty-eight years.
Considering that #StarWars was released in 1977, it's Copyright term was under pre-1978 rules which were 28 years initially, then a 67 year extension if the Copyright holder filed for an extension in 2005. That would grant them a Copyright term of 95 years as of today. Let's compare that to what the Copyright term will be for this re-release of StarWars.
Are you sitting down?
It will be for another 120 fucking years! So that's the real reason Disney is re-releasing StarWars. It has nothing to do with the fans, and everything to do with Disney exploiting a #loophole to make the Copyright term for StarWars to be 168 fucking years. (Original 48 years where we are now, plus the additional 120 years they will get when they re-relase the film.)

If your doctor prescribes you medication without discussing with you your diet and lifestyle choices... Then you have a dealer... Not a healer!
Frankly speaking, if you drink soft drinks on a regular basis and eat McDonald's and Burger King and Taco Bell and Krispy Kreme on a regular basis and drink alcohol, then when you get sick you "got what you asked for"... And I feel no responsibility to have to help pay for your treatment if your treatment only includes pharmaceuticals and not changes to diet and lifestyle.
If you cannot take the personal responsibility to eat healthy and get regular exercise, then don't ask me to take financial responsibility for your treatment.-Gary Williams

everyone knows by now that doctors are paid off by insurance companies for vaccination compliance, which is why they try to bully you into taking them. but did you know they're also paid off to NOT give you antibiotics for ACUTE BRONCHITIS?
i could understand perhaps accurate diagnosis of bacterial infection before prescribing antibiotics, which is generally a good thing, although- standard of care throat cultures typically just test for strep and can miss other bacteria, which is why doctors will often just write a script for antibiotics even in the absence of a positive test for bacteria.
but this, just flat out paying them to deny antibiotics, without any sort of qualifiers, is criminal
acute bronchitis is usually a viral infection and antibiotics best case scenario don't do anything and worst case give you c diff/antibiotic resistance lol
@vriska i'm not actually sure about how often it's viral vs bacterial, but what i do know is secondary bacterial infections after viral infections are common. see my subsequent post for my take on it
@vriska i'm aware that not all throat infections are bacterial but having some insurance bureaucrat pay off your doctor to just blanket deny you antibiotics, without any sort of qualifying diagnosis one way or another, is stupid. they should be encouraging better diagnosis not creating an incentive to deny care
@vriska and there's the real problem, you can do a throat culture easily, but determining whether that bacteria (or virus) is causing the infection is tough.
insurance looks at it from a bureaucratic numbers perspective. doctors look at it through their individual experience. who do you trust here? the insurance company or the doctor? i'll take my chances with the doctor especially since i like mine and he's smart enough to know the risks of taking antibiotics unnecessarily.
furthermore in the past i've been able to judge by how it feels, tastes, and visually by looking at the throat, whether there are signs of a bacterial infection.
this incentive discourages doctors using their judgement, even if a good diagnostic test isn't available
Press Release from MODEVITE on the Palenque -San CristΓ³bal Highway
We, the Tseltal, Tsotsil Indigenous peoples, and the mestizo community, express our opposition to the PalenqueβSan CristΓ³bal de las Casas Highway project in Chiapas, and to the construction of the first stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, as it violates our right to self-determination, to our territory, to live in harmony with nature, and to a healthy, safe, and sustainable environment. We want to make it clear that from its inception, this highway has been a discriminatory, racist, and exclusionary project aimed against those of us who work the land and inhabit the territory.
The PalenqueβSan CristΓ³bal de las Casas highway project is not newβit has been proposed since the administration of Chiapas Governor Juan Sabines Guerrero (2006β2012), in collaboration with the Federal Government. Although it has been justified under the guise of βdevelopment,β the highway has not been built thanks to the resistance of organized communities that emerged due to the lack of official information and transparency about the project.
In this current administration, the present governor, Eduardo RamΓrez, has revived this construction project, and in alliance with the federal government, it has now become one of the most significant projects in the country.
Eduardo RamΓrez stated to the media that he would not carry out the construction of the highway without first consulting the people and Indigenous communities. Therefore, on February 17, 2025, the βGuidelines for Conducting Public Consultations Related to Strategic Development Projects in the State of Chiapasβ were published in the Official State Gazette, inventing a participation mechanism called a βPublic Consultation.β
The so-called βPublic Consultation,β according to the governmentβs published Guidelines, is a mechanism through which people can decide whether or not they agree with the implementation of projects that the government classifies as βstrategic development.β These Consultations are overseen by the governor himself and the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, without including specialized authorities such as the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI).
Thus, on March 23 of this year, a Public Consultation was held regarding the first stretch of constructionβfrom Palenque to Ocosingoβin the municipalities of ChilΓ³n, Salto de Agua, Palenque, and Ocosingo. In this consultation, the authorities did not respect our right to access environmental, social, cultural, or project execution information. The communities were not informed in advance; the invitation was only shared via social media, failing to reach the many communities where there is no cell phone or telephone service. Furthermore, polling stations were only placed in municipal centersβbetween two and six per location. We witnessed serious irregularities, including people who were not from the municipality being allowed to vote, thus making decisions about land that is not theirs. The true owners of the land, and those most directly affected, were not taken into account.
Once again, the bad government directly discriminates against the Indigenous peoples who inhabit this region. Racism and contempt for Indigenous communities persist, even after the constitutional reform to Article 2, which recognizes our right to consultation and self-determination.
In response to the repeated violations of our human rights, today, March 31, 2025, we have filed two legal injunctions (amparos): one against the guidelines for conducting public consultations, because they are unconstitutional; and another for violating our right to a free, prior, informed, culturally appropriate, and good-faith consultation, which is part of our right to self-determination. We have also decided to exercise our right to petition by submitting requests for information to the Governor of the State, to the Head of the General Secretariat of Government and Mediation, and to the Secretariat of Infrastructure of the State of Chiapas. We demand that they make public the information on the environmental, cultural, and social impacts related to the construction of the PalenqueβSan CristΓ³bal highway and the stretch from Palenque to Ocosingo, so that we may freely and informedly decide the future of our territory, ensuring care and respect for our Mother Earth.
Finally, we inform society in general that, based on our right to decide on our own development, the preservation of our cultural and ancestral heritage, our territory, health, equality, self-determination, and autonomy, weβthe original peoplesβhave signed the Declaration of Peoples Free from Megaprojects, a document that represents our collective decision to resist the governmentβs imposition of a project that violates our rights and threatens the life of our communities.

i have pondered vit D supplementation over the years. one winter recently, i didn't supplement it at all. had some blood work done in the spring and had great levels (recall that i live in north idaho where it's dark at 4pm for almost half the year). this past fall, my level was in the basement.

@jazzilla the whole thing. Academics who don't write their own papers. Editors that don't bother to read. The AI is just exacerbating the pre-existing disease.
@jazzilla If an AI is writing the paper, and including made up citations, that no one catches until after they are selling the thing, then no, I don't trust anything in the paper, and I don't know why anyone else would. I don't know what nano cancer vaccines are, but that's kinda beside the point that this is what passes for scholarship nowadays. "As an AI, I cannot give medical advice." That was in the book. That's the problem I'm on about -- I'm an ontologist, not a oncologist, after all.

I was thinking that too but then DOGE just cancelled a bunch of Accenture contracts for actual contractors helping out some of the agencies.
I think it's so they can accurately say they've lowered their labor expenses at the {cough} expense {cough} of increasing their operational expenses.
But even that doesn't make sense now that I think about it.
Adolf said DOGE was going to cut out government waste and expenditures and rehiring all the people you laid off as contractors is directly counter to that.
