Luigi Mangione Pleads Guilty to Federal Charges in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompsonā€™s Killing - WSJ

\n
\n

He said that after learning of an investor conference, he emailed UnitedHealthcare, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $50 million in assets, to request information about it.

\n

ā€œUnlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,ā€ Mangione added.

His logic is deeply flawed. A question about a claim or coverage is a legal question about contracts. What is the service, does it meet criteria, what is the status of the provider, what information did...

These parables are not to be treated as strict allegoriesā€¦. They stand here, in order that important truths may be suggested from smaller matters. A good example is the story of the judge who neither teared God nor regarded man, and yet yielded to the widowā€”not from piety or humanity, but merely to be spared some annoyance. The unjust judge himself does not in any way allegorically represent the person of Godā€¦. Yet the story does show how even an unworthy man, acting from petty motives, cannot disregard those who assail him with unceasing petitions.

Submission - Catholic Husband

Human relationships are filled with agendas and ulterior motives. This constant complexity causes our brains to be suspicious of anyone, especially when they tell us how to live our lives. Godā€™s plan for us is one of those paradoxes. He does have an agenda, and a clear motive. He wants us to follow His plan because its outcome is the best version of ourselves.

Also wanted to say, I was doing a bunch of messing around with design and publishing this morning and the speed improvements youā€™ve been working on over the last few months really show. It was super quick to make a change and see it live.

@manton the schools run papers/homework through checkers like they have for decades checking for plagiarism. The real problem is that students can miss learning important skills, like looking at search results and determining which websites are credible and which arenā€™t.

@manton I started using Categories to automate management of collections, like podcasts, instead of my old way of manually updating a single page of links. With the podcasts specifically, the page load time is getting long with 276 episodes.

@manton Iā€™m using their ancient built-in plugin. I donā€™t think it has any export functionality and really hasnā€™t received meaningful updates since ~2018. I used to be very active in the Rapidweaver community and I might be the most active blog plugin user in the world; itā€™s pretty much abandoned. I can export the site to a local folder, and it gives me a .php file for every blog post. I donā€™t think an importer is really worth your time because Iā€™m sure Iā€™m in a very, very small group that would need this functionality, if itā€™s even possible.

I have all of my blog posts in Ulysses, so my workflow is to publish them all from there. The redirects would be great, but Iā€™m still moving to m.b even if I canā€™t do them because this is a huge body of work and I want it on a modern platform thatā€™s going to last.

I saw your blog on the updated the policy on reclaiming unused usernames. Iā€™ve emailed support three times (May, August, and November) about trying to get two names for my kidsā€™ blogs, but didnā€™t hear back. I know your support inbox has been overwhelming with everything else going on in your life!

I wanted to message you directly to see if I can get these usernames claimed, if possible, so they can have their place on the web secured.
