#UnitedHealth Group has avoided shareholder resolutions that would have asked investors at an upcoming meeting whether the company should audit how often it denies paying for members’ health care, following an outpouring of public anger last year.
One proposal from a group representing faith-based shareholders asked the Eden Prairie-based health care giant to develop a report on the human and economic toll that stems from limiting or delaying access to health care by #denying #payments via its insurance arm, UnitedHealthcare.
The proposal was withdrawn earlier this month, however, after UnitedHealth Group sought regulatory support for excluding the question from shareholder materials. Proponents said they believe they’ll have a better chance for success by re-submitting next year.A second proposal sought third-party audits of denials to determine if correspondence with families included #factually #incorrect and #insensitive information. But UnitedHealth Groupsaid investor Chris Mueller missed the deadline for submissions.
👉Neither proposal was listed in materials distributed last week in advance of the UnitedHealth Group annual meeting scheduled for June 2,
when shareholders will vote on resolutions about #executive #compensation
⭐️including a new push for investors to approve “golden parachute” severance or termination payments.

This was a very good #Factually on Sheriffs in general and sheriff’s gangs in particular
Much of it hit hard given another person died in #SDSO custody in #SanDiego recently - the 8th life lost this year in our jails

@shane ooh what are your favourite podcasts Shane?
Mine are mostly political or tech and I assume would bore most people: #LateNightLinux, #BigPicture, #Macrodose, #Deconstructed, #OnTheMedia, #TechPolicyPress, #PoliticsTheoryOther, #factually.
Always looking for more good ones 😊

Yet another mind-blowing episode from @adamconover's #Factually podcast — this time about the agency and communication abilities of plants.
I really love how Adam is able to explore such complex topics in a way that's both thorough and thoughtful, but also entertaining and engaging. Kudos also to Zoë Schlanger for being such an effective communicator. I'm definitely adding her book to my reading list!

For my contribution to tonight's Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog I wrote about Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness. I'm enjoying this visual novel. @Dio_Senrab covered Robocop, and CWTyger took Factually. Check us out!

I went from writing this to listening to @taylorlorenz talk to @adamconover on #Factually about #SocialMedia. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't use the opportunity to plug their #Mastodon accounts because talking about the alternatives is a big part of changing the internet landscape.
Then I went on to listen to #BehindTheBastards talk about #AaronSwartz. Of course #RSS comes up.

The latest episode of #AdamConover's #podcast #Factually!, on why smart people become conspiracy theorists, is great. A large part of it is about the case of #NaomiWolf. You may remember in 2019 she made a gigantic error in a book that basically destroyed its entire foundation, and a large portion of her career as news of the error spread on social media. In the time since then, she's become a huge conspiracy theorist. So, why?
Ah, here is that episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-smart-people-become-conspiracy-theorists-with/id1463460577?i=1000636885780

CW: Long thread/7
As #KimKelly explained to @adamconover in the latest #Factually podcast, the Alabama coal strikers didn't get anywhere near the attention that the Hollywood strikers have enjoyed:

The story of the Equity Strippers is *amazing*. Two organizers, Charlie and Lilith, appeared on @adamconover's #Factually podcast to describe the incredible creativity and solidarity they used to win recognition, and the continuing struggle to get a contract out of their bosses, who are still fucking around and assuming they will not find out:

The latest #Factually! episode with @adamconover's interview with Maureen Ryan about the toxic underbelly of #Hollywood is intense but fascinating. (The dirt on #SNL alone. . . ) And it's particularly timely in the middle of a double union strike.

Somehow I tend to think of Revolutions as being in a similar style as The History of the English Language Podcast. I can't articulate why. Obviously both scripted podcasts.
As I am writing I have an interview with Mike Duncan from #Factually in my podcast queue. That is a quite different type of podcast. Non-scripted. But good.

Vivid description of #Libertarians:
"Sitting there with your copy of Atlas Shrugged with the pages all stuck together ..."
- @pluralistic (on #Factually with @adamconover) -
I've listened to enough of @pluralistic's talks, podcast appearances, his own podcast, etc., etc., to be familiar with most of his pat phrases.
"Your copy of Atlas Shrugged with the pages stuck together" was however, new to me, and I lost it much as Adam does here:

(57:01 timestamp)
(There are other good bits here, including why excessively extended copyright periods are actually against the interests of authors and composers, though few of them seem to recognise this.)

Thank you @adamconover for having me & @timnitGebru on your show. We had so much fun!
Favorite moment, maybe: Timnit & I were riffing and asking each other questions and Adam says, "I'm the host!"

Hi, SocialWorlds. Your post ended in my “Home” timeline probably because of the #information(en) hashtag, and even if I don’t speak German it looked interesting so I “had” to translate it and respond. Hope you don’t mind :-)
#Distinction of #undecidable #questions in #known and #unknown #conditions of their #relevance.
#hypothetical / #factual
#Factually meant as a #question for #data as not yet known #information
#known / #unknown
In the case of #functional systems such as #economy, #religion, #art and #politics, only #facts are missing. How they are to be #understood is #clear.
In the case of #meaning and #ecology, #decisive #factors are #unclear.In my opinion #data=#facts. You can’t argue about facts the same way you can’t really argue about the “hard data” (numbers, graphs) in front of you.
What you can argue about is the interpretation of that data, or the different private #information every one of us will extract from the same set of data (facts) in front of us. What information is derived from the data depends on the different #knowledge(s) each one of us has about the world.
