Another good reason to wear a mask. Surveillance capitalism will come for you even if chronic illness doesn't.
"Kroger has partnered with Microsoft to install facial-recognition technology in stores to identify individual customers, which could allow individual shoppers to see prices calibrated specifically for them.

The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile."

Having PD I find myself skeptical.
New research suggests a potential link between the brain's decreased sensitivity to insulin & the progression of PD. This has prompted researchers to study if anti-diabetic medications, like Ozempic & Wegovy, could potentially slow PD.

Could diabetes drugs like Ozempic be a treatment for Parkinson’s?
A clinical trial of lixisenatide, an FDA-approved drug to treat diabetes in 2016, showed potential for reducing movement symptoms in people with Parkinson’s

Many of Elba, AL Shiloh residents like my great grandfather and grandmother 10 years out of Slavery were able to acquire 240 acres of land. Sale of timber paid for our college. Alabama DOT highway flooding is stealing residents' inheritance. Time for Just Compensation for Shiloh. @BullardCenter

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
