"Already, there are an estimated 7 million people currently living with dementia in the US—about 1 in 10 older Americans. By 2040, that figure is expected to nearly double, but as a country, and as individuals, we still have no fucking idea how to deal with this disease." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/04/sen-dianne-feinsteins-saga-is-a-very-public-example-of-a-national-crisis/

Breaking: Florida legislature to dissolve itself in perpetuity after having banned everything except guns. “Our work here is done,” one legislator explained.

Covid just killed my father. This is irresponsible. It is not over, damnit.
It’s time to end the five-day isolation guidance for covid https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/12/covid-cdc-five-day-isolation-guidance/

This is exactly the kind of glossy, airbrushed image that the Washington Post and others usually go to when describing a mass shooter. So long as he’s white.

"The man behind a massive leak ... is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic."

Kudos to AFSA President Eric Rubin for highlighting this. When asked what has been the most dangerous aspect of my job as a foreign correspondent I always reply: “Sitting in the back seat of a Third World taxi.” https://afsa.org/road-safety-clear-and-present-danger

Senator Feinstein has missed 60 of 82 votes this year. Her absence from the Judiciary Committee has put an indefinite hold on all judicial nominations.

She must resign, and Newsom must appoint a replacement who would not seek a full term, like Barbara Boxer or Jerry Brown. https://jezebel.com/dianne-feinstein-is-mia-and-her-absence-is-holding-up-1850323457

"Another mass shooting
Another day of R's not giving a shit & useless thoughts & prayers
Another day where guns are more important than human lives."

Zoom in on the Andromeda Galaxy with Hubble. What looks like a smudge of light to the unaided eye is actually a vast galaxy containing an estimated 1 trillion stars.

Happy Easter! In 🇺🇦, the tradition of "pysanky" eggs is intrinsically linked to Easter. These beautiful hand painted eggs are an old tradition that represent nature's rebirth in spring! Putting an egg at each of the four corners of a house is supposed to bring good luck🍀!

Speaking as an anesthesiologist that's spent more time in labor and delivery than most non-obstetricians will spend in their lifetimes, I cannot stress this enough: innocent people will die if mifepristone is outlawed. And it won't be in a few weeks or months— it will happen within hours. Judges should not be practicing medicine. Full stop.

Georgia #O'Keeffe on my mind.
