Easiest sale is to a salesman. Narcissists always fall prey to their own kind. It's why Trump is so easily played by Putin and Netanyahu.

New rules on sick notes eliminate unnecessary paperwork Effective immediately, new rules limit when employers can ask for sick notes and will allow more time for health-care providers to spend with patients.

BC gets rid of sick notes if you're off work for five or less days. Stay home when sick! The sick note was dumb to begin with and unecessarily forced sick people out of bed, into community and into doctor's offices. Sleep, rest and recover. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

No effing way. Sovereign tech for Canada means US techbros need to f*ck all the way off. AI doubly so. Canada needs it's own home grown and hosted tech infrastructure, which begins by parting ways with all things Altman, Musk, Bezos, Thiel, et al. Even better if AI is kept out of the mix altogether.

Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells in systemic lupus erythematosus Epstein-Barr virus reprograms autoreactive B cells as antigen-presenting cells to promote pathogenic antinuclear T and B cell responses in lupus.

A new study provides evidence of a biological mechanism for how Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) may trigger lupus.

EBV seems to reprogram B-cells at the beginning of a cascade that ultimately results in autoimmunity.

The authors mention that EBV is a cause of MS, and may be related to LongCOVID.

NewJeans: All members of K-pop group set to return to label after legal battle NewJeans has been locked in a legal battle with Ador, accusing the agencyof mistreatment and manipulation, which it denies.

First thing to do is get them to HYBE's mental health clinicians to deal with the narcissistic abuse and gaslighting they were subjected to by Min Hee-Jin. Not sure if they'll ever fully recover or be able to rebuild trust and perform, but cutting ties with their abuser and healing is needed.

Phonics, spelling rules, and then etymology are reasing foundations. Strategies systems (incl new math) fail to recognize the necessity of foundations. Spelling tests and reading aloud weren't fun, but worked. Three-cueing also makes it harder to detect/diagnose/support dyslexia and dysgraphia.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

These South Korean workers came to the US to build an EV battery plant. They left in shackles. They still want to know why ICE agents raided, arrested workers at a Georgia battery factory in September.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea.

Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

I'm sorry, but Elon Musk's suggestion that someday we'll replace prisons with Tesla robots who are assigned to follow convicted criminals around and stop them from doing subsequent crimes is some pretty dumb shit, even by Elon's standards.
