You may be among some other users who say phantom playlists that don't belong to them are showing up in their libraries.Alternatively, some users say their own playlists (and saved songs) have disappeared completely. According to various Reddit threads, the phenomenon has been reported before and there doesn't appear to be a clear fix. Technology outlet The Verge and Apple news site 9to5Mac both note that the issue only seems to affect the Apple Music app on iOS (desktop). Dunkin’s newest item sounds like something Taco Bell would offer Nexstar reached out to Apple for comment and/or any possible guidance for users who may encounter this issue. "Found this random song uploaded to my library," one Reddit user explains in a thread. "I didn't add this."

Rare parasite strain killed California sea otters, could pose human health risk: study

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

(The Hill) -- An unusually virulent type of toxoplasmosis is killing California sea otters — and may pose an eventual public health threat to other marine animals and to humans, a new study has found.This deadly disease, thus far identified in four stranded otters, comes from a rare strain of the microscopic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, according to the study published Wednesday in Frontiers in Marine Science.While toxoplasmosis is common in sea otters and can be fatal, the authors stressed that this form appears to be especially vicious and capable of swiftly killing healthy adult animals.Because this strain of Toxoplasma has never been detected on California’s coast before, the researchers are assuming that it is a recent arrival.As such, they expressed concerns about potential contamination of the environment and the marine food chain — warning that such circumstances could pose a public health risk. Thus far, however, no infections have been reported in humans...

Why millions of people could lose Medicaid next month

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:00:27 GMT

(The Hill) -- Health officials are bracing for chaos as states begin to determine — for the first time in three years — who is eligible for Medicaid, as a key pandemic policy of guaranteed eligibility ends.Advocates warn that without a safety net, millions of vulnerable people will fall through the cracks and lose coverage. The Biden administration is giving states a year to go through the once-routine process of sorting through Medicaid rolls, though some are moving much faster. Arkansas for instance will speed through the redetermination process in only six months, citing cost concerns and the goal of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) to push people to "escape the trap of government dependency." Eight states began the renewal process in February, and have already started sending out renewal notices. But unlike Arkansas, those states won't begin terminating people from the program until May or June. According to a report from the Kaiser Family Foundation, most sta...

By Nikki JamiesonSunny South NewsCoaldale town council has approved a new IDP between the Town of Coaldale and Lethbridge County.During Coaldale town council’s regular March 13 meeting, a public hearing was held for Bylaw 861-P-01-23, or the Lethbridge County and Town of Coaldale Intermunicipal Development Plan.An IDP helps to provide a framework regarding land use and development in the fringe area between two or more municipalities.

The fundamental difference is that the borders are expanded, which is reflective of the annexation that occurred back in 2018,” said Cameron Mills, director of growth and investments for the town, speaking during the pub...
