I am so grateful to @atrupar.com, @taniel.bsky.social and the team at @boltsmag.org - I do a lot of social system analysis so I can't help but sing their praises as signal aggregators.

I can actually get work done and stay informed because of them.

the Alzheimer's drug "Leqembi":
- requires a baseline MRI
- requires regular MRIs, as it can cause bleeding of the brain
- is injected through an IV
- can cause drowsiness and fatigue

I'll just tuck that info away for later

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

In case you are colorblind like me and couldn't see the glowing red danger zones in Sektori, there's a public beta branch on Steam that has a high visibility option for those. Works great, finally finished the first level.

If I lift the blanket, she yells.

I highly recommend Bolts. Please share!

Only if it helps lend itself to Bolts, I have an MLIS and frequently recommend it to people as a resource in person, too. Their coverage has made it so easy to stay on top of elections happening concurrently around the US. (Yes - even small elections matter!)
You can help Bolts continue to provide crucial coverage of local elections. Here's how:

- Repost this = I donate $1.
- Follow @boltsmag.org = I donate $1.
- Donate (link below) + tell me how much = I match your donation.
(Donate monthly = I match a year's worth)
Support Bolts
We are a nonprofit publication that covers the nuts and bolts of political change, from the local up, and we need reader support to build our journalism.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff.

GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him.

(This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

anytime you address people experiencing poverty with generalized assumptions about everyone's situation, you really sound wildly uninformed and blind to your privilege - in pretty much every context this could come up

After the order to expedite the files, and based on his behavior over the past few days, I really think we are collectively witnessing a late stage, full-on narcissistic collapse.
