Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I am going to have a go at social media. I do not know if it will be successful or if anyone will be interested. I would rather avoid the topic of #MECFS and focus on other interests, but it continues to destroy my life and if I can help raise awareness then perhaps the suffering is not for nothing.

The prototype used to develop the Apple 1. The wooden case is adapted from a breadbox (the holes for mounting on a wall and some of the hardware for the sliding cover is still visible), the wiring is hand-soldered, giant Sprague capacitators like yellow soda cans are along the back, and the chips are hand-placed in a grid.

An ad from a 1957 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Up top, the title: "New! A machine that COMPOSES MUSIC!" To the top left, an image of the "Geniac Electric Brain," a masonite board with a set of six ceramic dials in which electronic components may be mounted; these dials are turned for input and the connections underneath serve as the analog "timer" of sorts; the side has a series of four lights, the machine's output. To the top right, an image of a tune created by the Geniac. Below, dense type promotes the machine ("Yes, you can build any one of 33 electric brain machines!" "Over 400 components and parts!" "Your cost for GENIAC kit: Only $19.95 postpaid" (roughly $200 today). A sidebar lists institutions that have purchased GENIACs (including IBM, Bell, and Westinghouse); at the bottom is an ordering sheet for the Oliver Garfield Co., plus options to show interest in various other scientific fields.

One of the biggest tells of how blatantly screwed up medicine's mishandling of chronic illnesses is comes from physicians who end up suffering from them pretty much all saying that it's nothing like what they were taught it's like and no one else in the profession is bothered by that.
