InHumana - An American...

Jeremy White

InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Cosmic Shadows - The Enigma of...

Dirk Fallon

Our universe is a vast, mysterious expanse filled with wonders that have captivated humanity for centuries. Yet, despite all our technological advancements and discoveries, what we see—stars, planets, galaxies—is only a tiny fraction of what actually exists. Most of the cosmos is shrouded in a veil of mystery, composed of substances we cannot see or touch. These elusive components are known as dark matter and dark energy, and they make up about 95 percent of the total content of the universe. We are surrounded by a cosmic shadow—an invisible structure that shapes reality as we know it.
The idea that there might be more to the universe than meets the eye first emerged from observations that didn’t quite add up. In the early 20th century, astronomers began noticing that galaxies didn’t behave the way Newtonian physics predicted. Stars on the outskirts of galaxies were moving much faster than they should have been, given the visible matter present. The gravitational pull from the observable stars and gas simply wasn’t enough to hold galaxies together at those speeds. Something unseen had to be adding mass, providing the extra gravity needed to explain the motion. Thus, the concept of dark matter began to take shape—not as a proven substance, but as a placeholder for a profound mystery.
Around the same time, cosmologists studying the large-scale structure of the universe found another surprise. When measuring how galaxies moved relative to one another, it became clear that some unseen force was pushing space apart, causing the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. This discovery, first confirmed through the study of distant supernovae, was not just unexpected—it was revolutionary. To account for this repulsive force, scientists introduced the idea of dark energy, an unknown form of energy permeating space and counteracting gravity on the largest scales.
