Summary

Reddit’s r/medicine moderators deleted a thread where doctors and users harshly criticized murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Comments, including satirical rejections of insurance claims for gunshot wounds, targeted UHC’s reputation for denying care to boost profits.

Despite the removal, similar discussions continue, with medical professionals condemning UHC’s business practices under Thompson’s leadership, which a Senate report recently criticized for denying post-acute care.

Thompson, shot in what appears to be a targeted attack, led a company notorious for its high claim denial rates, fueling ongoing debates about corporate ethics in healthcare.

Was about to answer the billionaires one, realized there are better ways to spend this limited beautiful moment of life than being virtually shouted at.

Summary

Belarus, under President Lukashenko, has backed Russia's war in Ukraine while avoiding direct involvement. However, Russian drone flights over Belarus (151 in November) are increasing risks.

Opposition groups say Lukashenko cannot control Russian actions, undermining his neutrality claims. Crashes on Belarusian soil have sparked domestic unease and political sensitivity.

Rising drone activity shows Belarus being used as a Russian military base, further involving the country in the war despite public opposition.

This also raises security concerns for NATO nations, with Belarus acting as a gateway for Russian strikes.

Apparently we are seeing a resurgence in the use of bicycle infantry in the Ukraine war due to the advent of eBikes as they are capable of achieving high speeds with minimal noise and without the heat signature of a motorcycle, meaning that they have a significant advantage for avoiding detection. Perhaps we will see a second wave of cycling infantry due to eBikes especially in irregular warfare in the near future?

Also, this post is apropos of nothing.

Hi! In the past I've only read some extremely basic theory on anarchism, I haven't really had time to go more in depth, but recently I've had more time on my hands and am looking to get more educated, currently the only books I have on my list are "The Conquest of Bread" and "Anarchy Works", and I'm looking for anything else that I should read.

Audiobooks are also greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I take frequent breaks from social media, so I may not respond in the day, but I do greatly appreciate any recommendations.
