On February 11, 2025, Blue Shield discovered that, between April 2021 and January 2024, Google Analytics was configured in a way that allowed certain member data to be shared with Google’s advertising product, Google Ads, that likely included protected health information. Google may have used this data to conduct focused ad campaigns back to those individual members.

Blue Shield severed the connection between Google Analytics and Google Ads on its websites in January 2024.

What information was involved

  • Insurance plan name, type and group number;
  • city;
  • zip code;
  • gender;
  • family size;
  • Blue Shield assigned identifiers for members’ online accounts;
  • medical claim service date and service provider, patient name, and patient financial responsibility;
  • “Find a Doctor” search criteria and results (location, plan name and type, provider name and type).

Have you ever wandered about in public and wondered at the end of the day who you could have been with? Well now you can find out with “Missed Contacts.”

The way it works is that it visually records all of the people you interacted with during the day. At the end of the day you can then scroll through them and swipe left or right. A match gets you contact!

Say goodbye to plenty of fish! Forget eHarmony! Now you can find love right out in public without the “awkwardness” of interacting with people out in public!

We buy a bunch of birdhouses and super glue fleshlights on the inside.

How do you clean the fleshlight afterwards?

You need to disassemble the bird house. The time and effort involved in this should allow the user to feel the same amount of post-nut disappointment as your standard stationary gloryhole.

How do you keep birds out of it?

Warning stickers either directed towards the user or birds such as "Penises only. No birds allowed." or "Human seed storage only.".

Who is the target market?

COVID 2026's quarantine.

Ok, so here's what you do.

Step 1) You take out a sketchpad. You come up with concept art for an outfit/costume you can wear to parties. This costume is not something based on other influences. It's not something that's kind of like something else. It's not something that you'd say "Oh, this would belong on this tv show, or movie". It's completely unique. It stands out. It has a presence all in it's own. You wear it, and it looks good on you, and people remember the outfit. If Spiderman were real, and he just showed up to a party, you'd be like "Whoa, look at THAT guy!". Your costume doesn't need a mask, and in fact would probably be way better without a mask. Just a guy/girl at a party, doing their thing, and completely stealing the show just by being there. That's step 1. Buckle up, because it only gets crazier from here.

Step B) Hire about 10 people to walk everywhere with you. Like an entourage. Have them basically simp you in public. Except the idea is that nobody knows they're paid actors. From the general publics point of view, you're just some guy at a party, and these people love you for some undefined reason.

Step ∆) Now you release T-Shirts of you. And your simps all have the released T-Shirt on. And now you also hire another 10-100 actors. These ones will NOT hang around you as if they're in your circle. These new actors just spread out amongst the party. And they too are also wearing your new T-Shirt. So now there's 10 people all wearing the same shirt, all following you around, and another 10-100 people all single, and drifting about the party, all wearing that shirt. So now it looks like your inner circle love you, but so do the general public. And these shirts can be purchased for $80 each.

Now do this same set of steps every weekend, at every party, and really fuck with peoples perception of what the fuck is going on? All these people bought an $80 T-shirt for some guy? What is happening right now, and also, who IS that guy? You could also adopt a stupid show name, like Princess StinkyPooButt. Even though you're a 6'1 250lb guy with a beard and no legs.

And now the question becomes: "Will idiots buy an $80 T-shirt of absolutely nothing?"

As I look around the world today, I see a lot of idiots. I like my chances that I'm going to sell some stupidly overpriced T-Shirts of bullshit.
