Important shoes/airplane question.

Am I allowed to remove shoes to put on the socks I sometime get in a care package for transatlantic flights?

So will we see a bug rise in PPHN and ECMO in 2026 and 2027 due to mothers taking NSAIDs later in pregnancy and prematurely closing their ductus?

Just read about new H1B $$ requirements. Umm, WTH is this administration doing? Are they really trying to destroy any semblance of healthcare in this country?

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

I heard that Noah Wyle thanked healthcare workers, but his specific quote is even better: “To anybody who's going on shift tonight or coming off shift tonight, thank you for being in that job. This is for you!”

And this shows just how much he gets us. I was really touched.

Indy NO Super Bowl

I cannot understand how this is not a penalty on the defense. WTH?

I couldn’t tell what happened to Commabders player. Looked like a leg injury, but the amount of people around him made it seem more like cardiovascular event? #Commanders #TNF

This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

A small white chair carved out of white marble with a carved tasseled cape and baby shoe on top. Small pieces of marble mark a little rectangle behind the chair. At the end of the rectangle is an oval marble pedestal with a carved lamb on top. The ground is bare dirt with fallen leaves; there is also some greenery.

A little 19th century tomb in Green-Wood Cometary, Brooklyn, made for a child who died aged 15 mos. There is a very worn lamb on the oval pedestal; the carved chair has a tasseled cape draped over it and a baby’s shoe on top. The world before vaccines. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social
