So next Wednesday I’m taking mum to visit the parents of one of my best friends from school. She’s known them since 1979. Let’s see how it goes. #DementiaSux.

For humanists, morality is not a divine gift. Instead, it is rooted in our evolution as a social species. Over millennia, traits such as empathy, cooperation, fairness, and concern for others helped human communities survive and flourish.

You don’t have to cut the morning caffeine drip to protect your brain against dementia in the future.
New research shows that daily coffee or tea –– and yes, the caffeinated kind –– is associated with better cognitive health in the long term. https://cnn.it/4rJj0TS

Sadness is a downpour—it arrives without asking, soaking through our defenses in seconds. Joy is a garden—it must be planted seed by seed, watered with intention, weeded of doubt, and fiercely guarded against the storms that would drown it.

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything
