A hearty October of reading, with lots of work-related stuff, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's On Death and Dying, and my favorite of the month David Halberstam's The Next Century. He anticipated much of the shit we're going through now.

Senator Kim makes me proud to be a Democrat.
It’s Day 5 of the government shutdown. Help me tell the story of the crisis that is unfolding.

The President talking to our service members about the opposition party in this way. And every conservative campus center committed to civil discourse that claims it's not a conservative campus center will stay absolutely silent on this because they are indeed conservative campus centers.

Neuroscientists are starting to unravel the amygdala’s complexity, shedding new light on PTSD
Often labeled the brain’s fear center, the amygdala is much more complex than that. A study in Translational Psychiatry suggests that PTSD is linked to altered connectivity in one of its subregions, with potential implications for emotion and body awareness.

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.
