Pozniak: Stop paging Dr. Google for medical advice

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

A health misinformation storm is raging throughout the country as people use Google to search for help with their medical problems, often leading to unreliable information, inaccurate diagnosis, and inappropriate and costly self-treatments.Dr. Vivek Murthy, Surgeon General of the United States, said that health misinformation is a serious threat to the public health of our country as it causes confusion, mistrust, harms people’s health and undermines the efforts of trained and licensed medical professionals.The explosion of false and misleading health information on social media platforms has created a national challenge for the medical profession.

‘Paint’ dabs at comedy as portrait of quirky TV artist

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“Paint”Rated PG-13. At Landmark Kendall Square, AMC Boston Common and suburban theaters.Grade: B-A past-present temporal mashup, “Paint” from first-time feature writer-director Brit McAdams is set in a world that has stood still, or at least been slow to catch up to our present day. The film, which is set in Vermont and is said to be a send-up of pioneering TV artist Bob Ross, is a deadpan, perhaps too deadpan and not-very-funny comedy that paints a portrait (excuse me, it’s contagious) of Carl Nargle (Owen Wilson), a bearded, ‘fro-sporting, pipe-smoking star of the local Burlington, Vermont PBS station. Carl’s show is entitled “Paint,” and on it he, OK, paints pictures, all of them of Vermont’s Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in the state.Carl is a superstar to legions of oldsters and barflies enraptured by his every word (and picture). This includes his coworkers, who are mostly women, as well as the station manager Tony (Stephen Root), who ca...

Graham: Sununu mocks Mass., writes off Trump

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

Gov. Chris Sununu was in classic form Wednesday as he addressed a friendly New England Council crowd, getting laughs, taking shots at Massachusetts tax policy, and declaring a Trump presidential bid dead on arrival.As for his own potential White House run, Sununu demurred as usual. But he pledged to be a player in the 2024 cycle one way or another.“I may or may not run, but I promise you this: I’m not sitting this one out. I’m going to throw my weight behind somebody,” Sununu said.The New England Council event was held at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, where the NEC co-hosts the Politics and Eggs breakfasts that are a mandatory part of any first-in-the-nation candidacy. And Sununu had a clear message for the candidates and the primary voters who’ll pick the nominees.“One of the frustrations of America on both sides is we back leadership that either can’t win in November,” Sununu said, adding, “You can’t govern if you don’t win.”And he repeatedly made it clear he believes f...

The emerging picture of Bob Lee’s final moments keeps getting darker.The CashApp founder was fatally stabbed in San Francisco early Tuesday morning. San Francisco Police Department Chief Bill Scott said in a statement Wednesday that the investigation is in the “early stages” and the department wouldn’t comment on any evidence obtained thus far.What we do know is that the 43-year-old tech executive was in the well-to-do Rincon Hill neighborhood, a fast-growing section of the city. It’s quiet, it’s nice. It’s the sort of place where one could say “this sort of thing doesn’t happen here.”Until it does.Now, as CNN reported, the moments right after Lee’s stabbing were captured on surveillance video.The footage, reviewed by the online news site The San Francisco Standard, was recorded early Tuesday morning and shows Lee walking alone on Main Street, “gripping his side with one hand and his cellphone in the other, leaving a trail of blo...

Dear Abby: Grandma blackmailed into hosting ‘granddaughter’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

Dear Abby: My son is in a relationship with “Cheryl.” They live together. Cheryl has a daughter and is demanding that I treat the girl as one of my granddaughters. I have bought birthday presents, Christmas gifts and generally spend the same amount on all the kids. But I have been told that Cheryl doesn’t like what I buy her daughter and tosses the clothes at one of my other granddaughters who lives there and says, “Here! YOU take it. It’s ugly!”I know she talks bad about me to my son, and so does her mother. Interestingly, Cheryl’s mother doesn’t have to buy anything for my granddaughters on their birthdays or Christmas. I’m frustrated because I’m not allowed to have my granddaughters spend the night with me without being told that I must include her daughter. My granddaughters prefer it’d be just them and me.Am I wrong in feeling that I shouldn’t have to take Cheryl’s daughter every time my granddaughter...

Most oppose Social Security, Medicare cuts: AP-NORC poll

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most U.S. adults are opposed to proposals that would cut into Medicare or Social Security benefits, and a majority support raising taxes on the nation’s highest earners to keep Medicare running as is. The new findings, revealed in a March poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, come as both safety net programs are poised to run out of enough cash to pay out full benefits within the next decade.Few Americans would be OK with some ways politicians have suggested to shore up the programs: 79% say they oppose reducing the size of Social Security benefits and 67% are against raising monthly premiums for Medicare. About 65 million older and disabled people access government-sponsored health insurance through Medicare and rely on monthly payments from Social Security.Instead, a majority — 58% — support the idea of increasing taxes on households making over $400,000 yearly to pay for Medicare, a plan proposed by President Joe Biden last month....

SKorea, US, Japan call for support of ban on NKorea workers

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:02:21 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea, the U.S. and Japan called for stronger international support of efforts to ban North Korea from sending workers abroad and curb the North’s cybercrimes as a way to block the country’s means to fund its nuclear program.The top South Korean, U.S. and Japanese nuclear envoys met in Seoul on Friday in their first gathering in four months to discuss how to cope with North Korea’s growing nuclear arsenal. The North’s recent weapons tests show it is intent on acquiring more advanced missiles designed to attack the U.S. and its allies, rather than returning to talks.Despite 11 rounds of U.N. sanctions and pandemic-related hardships that have worsened its economic and food problems, North Korea still devotes much of its scarce resources to its nuclear and missile programs. Contributing to financing its weapons program is also likely the North’s crypto hacking and other illicit cyber activities and the wages sent by North Korean workers remaining in Chin...
