Perhaps most seriously, treating diabetes like its just a fat people thing can lead to skinny people not getting suspicious symptoms checked until the diabetes has done serious damage. Anyone of any size can get any type of diabetes. In some people untreated diabetes can even cause weight loss.

If culture were apolitical, why bomb Ukraine's churches, libraries and museums then? >>

Russia wants culture to be "beyond politics" while waging war pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/11

The thing I want to point out about this headline is that men are never called "outspoken," they just speak.

Benoit Mandelbrot, father of fractals, was born 99 years ago today. The remarkable story of how this refugee revolutionized the mathematics of reality and revealed the hidden order behind chaos: t.co/u2ps3te7eI

The reality is that the panel of justices probably drafted their opinion and they are right now poking the lawyers to see where their decision might be weak.

They're also pressing the government lawyer as hard as they pressed Sauer.

Also, the judge did throw in earlier that there are strong First Amendment protections for Trump.

Now they're talking about Trump naming the special prosecutor himself, which is more difficult under the First Amendment because he's a public figure.

@tofugolem Did you ever catch the interview with Gene Simmons on NPR? youtu.be/xXMpo6rrUcI?si=TdFL5t I have disliked him since then.

Ukrainian child's note:

“Dear daddy, I wanted you to be alive. But so the life happened that you were killed. Now you’re together with grandma Natalia. I will always love & remember you”

Russia is a terrorist state #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

President Biden speaks--coherently, compassionately, and reasonably. Compare and contrast with our previous orange narcissist wannabe dictator. #Biden

The religious outreach coordinator for Moms For Liberty was convicted of sexually abusing a 14 year old boy when he was 25. He blames Lyndon LaRouche. Seriously.

@captainrob @TonyStark That’s not at all true. He’s gotten many, many student loans forgiven and has created millions of great paying jobs! Incomes have gone up too! He’s building roads, bridges, airports etc. You use those things I assume. He is tackling climate change and is trying to save our Constitutional Republic. Nothing?

The judge in our 14th Amendment lawsuit found that Donald. Trump incited insurrection. This is the first time a presidential candidate has been found to have engaged in insurrection.

That's huge.

@mcnado thank you, from a person whose sister found her husband’s unlocked gun and shot herself to death. And he was someone who should have known better.

Another week, another story about a toddler killing another toddler with a handgun found in a purse.

People! Listen! Lock your guns up! The likelihood that your fantasy of protecting yourself or your family using a handgun coming true is up there with winning the lottery. Having a family member die because someone misuses that firearm, on the other hand, is not uncommon in the US. If you carry a gun, keep it on you, have one with a safety, and lock it up the moment you get home.
