Actshully, nonverbal behavior (posture changes, pupil dilation) do correlate with emotions or attitudes (context dependent of course). The nonsense about crossed arms and lie-detection tricks is generally bunk.

β€˜Bluetoothing’: Blood-Sharing Drug Trend Fuels Alarming Global H.I.V. Surge

🚨Not overly impressed w/this reporting: anecdotal/small sample evidence; NO focus on solutions--needle exchanges, opioid substitution therapy; unclear if it's a trend or sporadic behavior; the pic labelled "drug addict" dehumanizes the person with SUD. The 80s is calling. πŸ›Ÿ

TRUE. Acceptance is not necessarily approval however, i.e, you're not endorsing it. From my experience, peace isn't a one time achievement but a dynamic state. Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't. Perhaps real peace comes when we stop editing our story; the past is integrated into our psyche.

Rethinking Inhalers in the Era of Climate Change Portable, fast-acting, and highly effective, metered-dose inhalers have transformed the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over the past 70 years. But alongside their...

Ugh! Framing inhalers as β€œdrivers of climate change” is lazy journalism. They’re life-saving medical devices, not SUVs.
Exaggerating a 0.006% emission source while guilt-tripping asthma patients is moral theater, not science.
Statistical telescoping (aggregation fallacy) on full display too. πŸ›Ÿ

πŸŽƒA propos of nothing other than Spooky Season on the horizon and a needed respite from the non-stop insanity: Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is the best of the gore-fest series. Alice Cooper’s β€œHe’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” adds just the right touch. πŸŽƒ

Acting CDC director calls to 'break up' the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three shots Individual vaccines for each virus aren't available in the U.S., and no published scientific evidence shows a benefit to separating the combined vaccine.

Reckless! There’s no science behind it, no single vaccines even exist, and it would just mean more needles, more missed shots, and more dead kids from preventable diseases.Reintroducing them would take years, cost billions, and serve no health benefit. What exactly are O'Neill's qualifications? πŸ›Ÿ

Two suggestions: adapt your schedule to others so you don't appear as an outlier; talk to Charles so he is in the loop. The whole "the only moat is execution velocity " and 9-5 being failure" can be challenging in that culture.

Well, when I was a kid, Dr. Zinkin would come to our house with his leather doctor bag containing everything he needed, including lolly pops. Ah, the good ol' days.

THE OTHER SIDE: The Great Barrington Declaration lives - The Berkshire Edge Sadly, for the American people, whether it is something distorting his soul or his mind, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with his many anti-vaccination compatriots, has brought chaos and destruction to us all.

🚨The Great Barrington Declaration: where bad epidemiology goes to get promoted. Focused protection? Nope. Focused neglect.
