Hot Take:

Oopsie-daisy! Kaiser Permanente just turned its patient data into an inadvertent goody bag for advertisers. It's like a Black Friday sale, but instead of discounted TVs, it's your personal health data on the clearance rack. Now, 13.4 million people get to join the 'We've Been Exposed' club. And if you've ever wondered if your healthcare provider plays favorites with your data, wonder no more! They're apparently sharing the love with Google and Microsoft too. Talk about an unhealthy relationship!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
