Re: The Great Healthcare Plan - Notice that by making more meds over the counter, safety will go down, and side-effects and accidental overdoses will go up. This is exactly why Congress created Durham Humphrey in the early 1950s. youtu.be/IJpN6-BrFQQ
All medication is self-medication (and why prescriptions are important)

@fabiannicieza.bsky.social Just started following you. I wanted you to know "Adventures of Captain America" and your Jack Monroe Nomad writing helped shape me. I think back on the conclusion of Nomad frequently given current events.

This great article gives time to one of my pet peeves: “We apologize for any inconvenience.”

The slop is not presented as an example of slop in the article. I am sad.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

RIP Peter David. I had the fortune of meeting him at NY Comic Con circa 2007. He had written in "But I Digress" about people who asking him, a writer they didn't know, to do sketches. He would do a lightning bolt for Storm, or an X with a square scholar cap for Professor X. (I got one!)

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)
Margaret Chase Smith’s words ring more true — and urgent — today than when she first spoke them. Americans should put aside politics and return to what unites us: the Constitution. We can disagree about policy, but we cannot waver on our commitment to our founding principles.

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?
Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.
He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.
It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.
