Does your doc offer the med that decreases the length of dilation? It is another drop they put in at the end, the dilation lasts another 30-60 minutes, and it costs me $25. The only downside is that my eyes look stoned for a couple hours.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

@thechrisbarron.bsky.social I had this text exchange the other day with a childhood camp friend. I thought you'd enjoy reading it. Was it Blessid Union of Souls who joined you that day? Will Spin Doctors consider coming to Charleston, SC sometime? I think you'd love playing The Refinery.

A text exchange between two people.

Person 1... I'm watching a recent Spin Doctors concert on Nugs .net. It brings back memories of seeing them in Morgantown the summer after graduating high school. I think I saw it with you, Justin, and maybe a few others from camp. Does that ring a bell?

(I looked it up, and the concert took place July 23, 1999.)

Person 2... Dude! It does a ring a bell. I remember the lead singer had lost his voice and so was holding up cue cards during Little Miss. I think it was Spin Doctors and Blessed Union of Souls. Does that sound right?

Person 1... That's right! I had forgotten about the cards until you mentioned it. When I confirmed the Morgantown date, I learn that the '99 tour was cut short due to Chris Barron's voice issues.

I'm certain that was my first real concert experience of being in the crowd. (A few concerts preceded this one, but they were mediocre experiences.)
Now I go to concerts all the time.

The band released an album earlier this year that I enjoyed. If they come to my area, I'll definitely relive the summer of '99 and make the trek.

Karen Diamond was an 82-year-old woman from Boulder Colorado. She was a wife, a mother, a grandmother. She was not part of the Israeli government & was not holding any hostages. But she was still set on fire & murdered by a domestic terrorist. May her memory be a blessing & may she rest in peace.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

A document excerpt from Case 1:25-cv-00352-CJN, Document 36-2, Filed 02/17/25, Page 4 of 13. The text details the personal struggles of an individual managing an extraordinary workload while dealing with family responsibilities. The individual's wife, who is 31 weeks pregnant after years of infertility treatments costing $50,000, has been hospitalized multiple times due to a life-threatening condition and stress-related complications. The embassy medical unit recommended urgent medical evacuation due to the high risk of hemorrhage, but the State Department denied the request twice, citing lack of USAID funding for medical evacuations. The staff expressed their distress over the decision, suggesting the individual consider paying for evacuation to a third country for better care.

A document excerpt from Case 1:25-cv-00352-CJN, Document 36-2, Filed 02/17/25, Page 5 of 13. The text continues the story, revealing that there was a verbal directive from State Department Washington leadership to cease all USAID medical evacuations and related services from approximately February 1st to February 7th. The individual frantically sought help, and on February 7th, a US senator intervened to authorize a medical evacuation. However, before the evacuation could occur, the wife began hemorrhaging on February 8th and was hospitalized. As of February 17th, she remains hospitalized and on bedrest until her due date in April. The stress and delay in medical evacuation have contributed to her deteriorating condition, and the individual expresses fear for her and the baby's health due to the rushed shutdown of the agency. The individual laments the situation to their daughter, emphasizing the impact of government decisions on their personal lives.

For some context, we are in South Carolina, where most (all?) Lutheran congregations are predominantly German in heritage. Yet some individuals (myself included) are not. So some Norwegians wanted to make an event that brought others in to celebrate this bit of our cultural background.
