@bsky.app What about a save button?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

God willing.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

I just meant watching their body language in the clip. Some cabinet officers and others in the room seem to lap it up, others look like they can't believe it's happening. IMO. 🤷‍♀️

Interesting to observe the cabinet officers' different responses to his presence/praise.

Who that can afford that would want it? Makes it even worse. I hope someone will be reporting on the number of takers. I have a feeling it will be less than one million.

While I'm alive, I'd like to not have Alzheimer's or dementia.

Prevention would be even better than early detection. A ketogenic diet and serious lifestyle changes that preserve muscle mass and support quality sleep are powerful, effective interventions. See the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Mary Newport and Amy Berger, for a start.

A little late

Prolonged glucose restriction significantly extended yeast lifespan. To understand this, we tested mitochondrial association and found calorie deprivation reduced mtDNA mutation rates while increasing mtDNA abundance, suggesting mitobiogenesis.

Or....trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he's a racist.

But they're not the ones involved in identity politics

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) in 67 Bullet Points This is a working document. Although I am publishing it now, I intend to continue editing and adding to each of these bullet points over time.

"Stephanie Kelton, the author of ‘The Deficit Myth’ tells us, that governments should not aim to balance the books; rather it should aim to balance the economy."

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

I'm glad to hear this is happening. I haven't encountered any yet.

Of the population defined as using HRT, only 20 were actively using it at the time of the study, and the remaining 66 subjects in that group had used HRT at some point in the past, right?

There is no reason for the Federal government to tell municipalities whether or not they can remove flouride from their water system. It's unfortunate that MAHA has politicized health issues, but it would be a big mistake to go against anything they favor.

But there are some very interesting projects aiming to do just that.
