1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. #NEAM2025

My older daughter was diagnosed with generalized childhood absence epilepsy. Untreated, she would have 10-30 absence seizures per day. These are staring spells lasting 3-5 seconds.

Happy Halloween!
Photo of my porch. A black and white dog is sitting while wearing a sheet with holes cut to make it a ghost costume. Next to him is a fake hay bale with a silver glitter jack-o'-lantern, a small white pumpkin that says "truck or treat" in black letters, an orange pumpkin that says "happy Halloween", and a skull partially covered in silver sparkles on top. There are also 2 ombre jack-o'-lanterns in front of it. Behind the dog is a black cat welcome mat.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.
Full moon fever by Tom Petty. The colors from to to bottom are pink, yellow, green, and blue. At the top is a black bar with letters cut out to show the color, "Tom Petty". There's a black and cutout image of Tom with his Rickenbacker guitar. Below that is another black bar with cutout letters "Full moon". At the bottom are black letters "fever"

Got to see Haim tonight. Absolutely fantastic!
Photo of a stage taken from the crowd. Much of the stage is obscured by fog with up lighting. You can make out the silhouettes of the 3 Haim sisters as they take the stage. In red letters above them in the fog it says, "I quit"

The antichrist will offer the world peace and safety you say?

From: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
Text from linked article: For months, Donald Trump presented himself as the very incarnation of a global peacemaker, touting an ever-changing list of international conflicts that he claims to have settled.

I look forward to the day when instead of this, we can say, "of course we're providing healthcare to everyone, regardless of their citizenship or legal status. We're not monsters"
Tweet from Sheldon Whitehouse: "Health care for illegal aliens" is the new "immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield" The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crisis you created.

Been thinking about this @xkcd.com comic a lot lately. (xkcd.com/385)

1/
Two nearly identical images of 2 stick figures standing at a board. On the left image the, presumably male, figure is solving the integral of x^2, writing = π. The other says, "Wow, you suck at math." In the right image the only difference is the figure driving the equation appears female (long hair as opposed to no hair) and the other is saying, "Wow, girls suck at math."

Just finished Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, and it is very good. Definitely recommend. #booksky
Book cover. In large red letters at the top: Atmosphere; and below in smaller white letters: a love story. There is a logo for the good morning America book club. The cover image is a white woman with dark wavy shoulder length hair. She is wearing aviator sunglasses and a flight suit. She is looking up toward the sky. The lower third of the image, in large letters: Taylor Jenkins Reid. Underneath in smaller letters: #1 new York times best-selling author of Daisy Jones & the Six and the Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo

The richest man thinks the Pope should consider himself first on the question of greed? Ok, let's see how much he gets paid...

en.as.com/latest_news/...
The Holy See covers all of his personal expenses—housing, travel, security, and other needs—throughout the entire length of his papacy, which in Francis’s case lasted 12 years. In an interview with Jordi Évole, Pope Francis candidly admitted: “They don’t pay me anything,” when a young person asked about his paycheck. He added, “When I need money to buy shoes or something, I ask for it.”

From www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
But covers of the song “Bella Ciao” often appear in World War II-era video games. In 2022, for example, the popular grand strategy game Hearts of Iron 4 released downloadable content that focused on Italy, with a version of “Bella Ciao” included for users who preordered. Hearts of Iron users have created “mods” for the game (some of which imagine Germany winning the war) that include Bella Ciao in their music packs. The song has also appeared in Far Cry 6 and the Netflix show “Money Heist.” Assuming that its inclusion is inherently ideological, and not just another reference to a piece of culture that the culprit enjoyed, would be a mistake. There is even evidence that groypers, online fans of the far-right political pundit Nick Fuentes, have co-opted the song, with a single remix appearing on a Spotify playlist. But this is simply one of many possible ways Robinson might have learned of the song. Until other evidence about Robinson’s mindset emerges, what is public does not prove any political ideology. Instead, it suggests a view of the world and morality warped by total immersion within a culture of deep irony and antisocial behavior. Cox was wrong in saying that any of these references “speak for themselves.” But he was right about one thing: All of us need to “log off, turn off and touch grass.”

4 panels of a man and a woman talking. She had long blond hair and a pink shirt. He is balding with glasses and a mustache. First panel: man is gesturing in explanation 2nd: woman asks, "Well, did it work for those people?" 3rd: Man responds, "No, it never does, I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..." 4th: looking up at the woman he says, "... But it might work for us."

Man, fuck this guy.

I'm shocked not to see significantly more violence from trans people given the mistreatment they've been subject to; rhetorically, legislatively, and physically.

Focus on right-wing death cult indoctrination going on online. Restrict firearms. Provide mental healthcare
