Just missed Halloween (reading text from 1650 can be a challenge). Rhetoric and rhetoric as cultural inheritance seems to be an issue here.

He is a genius of a deal maker Not! The other outcome of this trade war witch China is that they have realized they have more leverage in trade and on the world stage than the US. Trump has significantly weakened the deal making posture of the US - includes worse relationships with allies.

Cultural biases at play keep it going and intensified to the point that there is less expertise and more business interests running healthcare - like the HHS secretary and wellness industry bigger than Pharma.

Many see the correlation between OSA and AD. This study tries to break it down by major phenotypes and pathophysiological mechanisms. Very complicated and I would add a few things to their diagram. Untreated/sleep deprived need to be controlled for.

My review of this movie. I recommend it - well made and acted with an excellent message.

"Everyone always has sound, rational reasons for caving to intimidation. They’re protecting their reputation, their job, their family, their institution, their investments—the number of reasons... compounds until fighting back can feel like a fool’s errand."

Trump is literally destroying the White House.
After promising that his absurd $250M ballroom wouldn't interfere with the existing structure, he lied and is destroying the White House.
Wealth & income inequality is at record highs in America, but glad we're spending $250M on a vanity project.
Good luck - there is a learning curve. I recommend going right to the genogram graphics and not starting with somebody else's template.

Generating good anonymous genograms that don't require a lot of labeling. This software does a good job.

Well maybe - but I have been preaching homicide prevention for 30 years now. Nobody wants to take me up on it - probably because of the countertransference to and logistical problems dealing with really aggressive people.

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

My take on the Trump-Kennedy press conference on autism. A few detailed comments on what they said at the very end. More detailed scientific discussion to come - the focus here was epidemiology and rhetoric:

Nothing to "investigate". Antifa does not exist. But I am sure one of Trump's incompetent cabinet members will get right on that.
