If you get severe migraines like I do, I just tried a thing that actually worked:
Soak your feet in hot water for 10-20 minutes.
It went from intense pain and nausea to just some humming pain -- not 100% better, but a solid 80-90%.. seriously kinda miraculous. Usually lasts hours.

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.

It’s almost disorienting to see something this nakedly wonderful put in place by a non Scandinavian Western government in 2025.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Born in 1934, Goodall loved wildlife from a very young age, so much so that her father once gave her a stuffed monkey doll that young Jane named Jubilee and kept for the rest of her life.
World-famous primatologist Jane Goodall dead at 91
Goodall’s immersive studies of chimpanzees in Africa redefined what it means to be human.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Your health care bill is about to explode.
The notices will start arriving next month.
A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.
Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.
We need to fix this. Now.

People flooding social media with photos of their lovely Portland neighborhoods is honestly really effective at showing how unhinged it is to be ordering a military presence there. Especially so if the city really is thrown into chaos after this.
Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Hey Bluesky.
Got an odd ask. Im looking for someone i went to high school with. Searches havent helped because how generic adjacent his name is. Jesse Robberts was in the band FTK.
Curious if anyone knows of him or someone who knows him.
...he was a good dude and a great musician.
