3 days. Apparently I've had vertigo for at least 4 years. I was successfully diagnosed and treated 4 days ago. I had 3 really, really great days. I will figure out how to do the home maneuver right or whatever to get more really great, or even good days. Today is not one of them.

What is the plan to protect pedestrians before our blood is on the asphalt? Pedestrians are constantly being forced into vehicle traffic. Whether it's drivers driving into a crosswalk at a stop sign or stopping in the crosswalk at a red light, we have no metal cage to protect us, like cars have.

Looks & sounds like an Amazon Dodge RAM delivery vehicle: 1. Completely blocked the crosswalk Friday afternoon. 2. Began reversing *into me* when I had to walk behind it to cross the street. Yes, I snapped the license. 3. Had mirror tints on *all* windows. 4. Veered toward me when able.
Rear of dark blue Dodge RAM vehicle stopped in the crosswalk. NASCAR vanity NY plate NTAMZ0/NTAMZOPicture of said dark blue Dodge RAM vehicle, clearly stopped in the crosswalk, with mirrored tint on front windshield.

The crypto industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying for the Clarity Act, which they pitch as “clear rules of the road”. In reality, it’s industry capture, deregulation, and legitimization of the most brazen self-dealing in presidential history. Senators must vote no.
The bill’s proponents describe the Clarity Act as providing “clear rules of the road” for digital assets, painting Democrats who oppose to a bill as inexplicably standing in the way of clear guardrails for crypto. “A no vote tomorrow kills the toughest ethics reform this country has ever put on the books, kills consumer protections for every American holding digital assets, and hands the future of this industry to our foreign competitors,” threatened Senator Lummis on Twitter.11

But regulations were previously, if belatedly, being enforced in the crypto sector by the SEC, which applied laws that cover a broad range of financial assets that fit the definition of an investment contract. Courts repeatedly upheld this application to the crypto sector — much to the chagrin of deep-pocketed crypto firms like Coinbase, Ripple, and Gemini, who responded with hundreds of millions in lobbying and saw their cases dropped under Trump [Quid pro quo]. Facing what they viewed as an existential threat from an SEC demanding they play by the same rules as other industries, the crypto sector spent hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying for the Clarity Act and electing lawmakers who would let them write their own rules. The result is not “clear rules of the road”, it’s industry-drafted deregulation with a loophole-ridden ethics section bolted on only after Republicans realized that even the pro-crypto Democrats installed with the help of $130 million in industry spending wouldn’t sign off on a bill placing no limits on Trump’s historic grift.Democrats considering a vote for cloture should understand what they’re endorsing: a bill that grandfathers in the crypto ventures that netted Trump $1.4 billion as investors were ruined, and leaves enforcement to Trump loyalists who have already dismantled crypto oversight and enabled some of the president’s worst abuses.

The crypto industry spent $130 million in 2024 installing lawmakers who would let them write their own rules. They’ve poured hundreds of millions more into lobbying for the Clarity Act and installing even more pro-crypto members of Congress in the midterms.Republicans are trying to disguise this industry capture and deregulation as consumer protection, painting Democrats who oppose the bill as anti-innovation obstructionists. Democrats should not give them the bipartisan cover they seek.

A vote for cloture tomorrow by any Senator — Democrat or Republican — is a vote to legitimize the most brazen self-dealing in presidential history and pave the road for yet more future abuses.

Yes.And. To grow up in marked precarity is trauma-inducing and a known, preventable, generational public health crisis. That it is a talking point dressed up as a congressional hearing— because it sure as fuck is not a point of goddamn debate — is both wild and repulsive.

While this may describe a real discovery with real potential, its premise is false: 1. "Profound" Autism is not a diagnosis 2. Autism has *never* included intellectual disability criteria. This article conflates comorbidity in support of a term as Eugenical as its now-defunct opposite, Aspergers.

Do cheating agents, like EDTA, get taken up by the plant? Specifically in hydroponic systems? Is the concentration high enough in solution that the plant can diffuse thru the concentration gradient, rather than needing a binding site & active transport?

In the 10 months since the start of the "ceasefire" in October 2025, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,200 Palestinians, including 300 children.

Small blue wheely cooler with a white top zip-tied to the railing, beside a door mat. A blue paper is sloppily taped to the cooler, with a hand-written note, "Postal & Delivery Workers: 💧 Please take!" Underneath, in someone else's handwriting, it reads "Thank You!!!"
