I came here to say the same thing! I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, but this one rocks.

Oh yeah. An amazing time. Tell that to my friend whose wife died of Covid after a week on a ventilator.

I can’t even.

I find myself screaming into the abyss every day. Why oh why do old, rich, disgusting white men rule the world?!

2025 has been quite the year: a potential RNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer, a possible cure for HIV, and now this great news about ALS. Science rocks!!

Holy cow. Do you guys hear yourselves? Do you have ANY self-awareness?

So glad I canceled my subscription years ago.

Johnny Cash. Especially “Folsom Prison Blues” and “God’s Gonna Cut You Down.”

And let’s not forget Rev. William Barber II, who’s been protesting for the rights of the poor for decades.

Sorry. It’s not a Motown list without the Temptations and the Jackson 5. That’s the law.

“Massive fungal infection” made me laugh out loud.

“But the 8.5 was on sale.” I think I just snorted iced tea out of my nose.

“Anatomical normalcy” is quite the phrase.

Called my MN Senators and left semi-coherent messages. Don’t cave, Tina and Amy!

Maybe I don’t know sports - but don’t corporations usually pay the big bucks for naming rights? Why would the Washington Commanders give that away for free?!

If THIS upsets you, take a look at an old Columbo episode from 1974, “Mind Over Mayhem.” In it, an organic chemist has a lab set up IN HIS GARAGE, where he keeps a canister (like a flour canister, for baking) of heroin. It’s conveniently labeled “C21H23NO5”

The whole episode is…something.
