President Biden has accused Republicans of scheming to cut Medicare. In fact it is his signature legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act, that will lead to benefit cuts and premium increases for seniors. In 2025, under the Inflation Reduction Act, both government subsidies and out-of-pocket payments by patients are scheduled to be cut sharply. But the statute inhibits this third revenue source, which is also subsidized, from increasing more than 6%. That’s hardly enough to cover inflation, let alone compensate for the other two revenue losses.

The season finale of HBO's "House of the Dragon" reportedly leaked online 2 days before it was supposed to air. The episode was leaked on Friday, two days before its air date.

In August 2017, hackers leaked episodes of HBO's "Insecure," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and a reported draft script of a yet-to-air episode of "Game of Thrones." The hacks led HBO to make the decision to film multiple "Game of Thrones" endings in an effort to throw off would-be leakers from spoiling the series finale.

Comitetul Olimpic Internațional a pregătit un stoc de 160.000 de prezervative pentru următoarele jocuri olimpice de la Tokyo. Însă acum Comitetul îndeamnă sportivii să nu folosească prezervative în Japonia. Marți, Comitetul de Organizare a Olimpiadei de la Tokyo a transmis că speră ca prezervativele să !ajute la conștientizare". Obiceiul de a împărți prezervative la Jocurile Olimpice a început în 1988, cu scopul de a promova sexul în siguranță și prevenția față de HIV. Deși 160.000 de prezervative pregătite la Tokyo par a fi multe, nu se compară cu numărul cumulat la Rio De Janeiro.
