Every new revelation re: Alzheimer's that crops up with "in mice" might as well be another rendition of the Squidward packing up his lawn chair meme.
They've "cured" Alzheimer's in mice dozens of times. It's still valuable, but to make it work in humans is an entirely different animal, literally.

It's inefficient to get out of bed in the morning only to get back in the same bed at night. Stay in bed all day to avoid this

Our local transit system has been under fire a lot lately for general neglect and may have some member cities pulling out soon. And while I hope that doesn't happen, when you walk down the stairs at a station and see the exact same chip bag and toothbrush you saw yesterday, sympathy starts to wane.

Kids these days literally don't know about "is the smoking section okay?/As far from smoking as possible" at restaurants.
And that's wonderful.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Look at the absolute state of this.
Jim Davis’s style is one of the easiest for even amateur artists to emulate and yet they went with piss yellow, bisected AI Garfield.
Clearly PGH Live Music has their finger on the pulse of arts in my city.

He’s right. I *hate* it but those are the (rigged) rules of the game, and we can either play by the “fair” rules and lose democracy or we can play the game sitting in front of us and then fix the rules to be fair again after we regain power from the cheaters.
It’s not cheating now. The refs say so.

Now that SCOTUS has validated gerrymandering for any racist arbitrary reason imaginable—EVERY Blue state Governor needs to redistrict their state to completely eliminate red seats.
This is the MAGA precedent. It is law now. Run with it. Beat MAGAs at their own game. Vote MAGAs out permanently.

It is, certainly, negatively humbling to understand that your living situation is never going to improve until you somehow find a way to fix your brain.
