Comment on The otter seemed 'cute' — until it leaped on her kayak and lunged at her face

The district attorney of Philadelphia has filed a lawsuit to halt Elon Musk ‘s $1 million giveaways as part of his political organization’s effort boosting Donald Trump ‘s presidential campaign. The suit by Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner is the first legal action to be brought over the America PAC’s sweepstakes offering $1 million every day until Nov.

At this point in election season, you might be as interested in voting your outspoken uncle out of the family as you are in casting your ballot for the next president of the United States.

In 2019, when I was working as a reporter for the Washington Post, I “came out” as faceblind. I was a little concerned about telling everyone that I have prosopagnosia—a rare neurological disorder that makes it difficult for me to recognize faces—because I fretted that people would think that it made me bad at my job.

There’s one thing upon which Kamala Harris and Donald Trump readily agree: Wisconsin will play a vital role in who wins the election. In a July speech in Milwaukee, Harris asserted, “The path to the White House runs through Wisconsin.” Similarly, on Oct. 6, Trump, visiting the state for the fourth time in eight days, said, “If we win Wisconsin, we win the presidency.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] For Trump, especially, this was more than bombast.

A clinic in Cherry Creek recently stopped allowing male patients to swab themselves for sexually transmitted infections, raising concerns that gay and bisexual men could forgo testing, even as rates of certain infections have jumped. Sean O’Connor, a patient who lives in Denver, said UCHealth’s Cherry Creek location was a particularly valuable resource, because it allowed people to have a “standing order,” meaning they didn’t need to see a doctor for a referral to test every time they had a possible exposure. The process was convenient, he said: Patients would receive one swab for the throat and one for the rectum, and could be done taking their own samples in minutes. With the rule change, patients who need that testing have to schedule an appointment with a provider who will swab them, which is both less convenient and more intrusive, O’Connor said. “They’re doing their best to get people in, they just don’t have the capacity,” he said. The machine that analyzes the swabs only allows self-swabbing of the vagina, and labs don’t have the option to ignore the manufacturer’s instructions, said Dan Weaver, spokesman for UCHealth. The manufacturer tests its machines under specific protocols, and the U.
