Anybody else with small online shops seeing an uptick in “marketing” solicitations? As in “we thing your product is great, have you ever thought about selling in stores…” Im assuming this is related to the ai generated book club offers authors are getting.

They also probably believe that AI will be able to cure all disease, not knowing once the elasticity of your lung’s cells goes away, they scarify and ain’t gaining it back.

Well, sounds like in the long run the problem will cure itself. Although the collateral damage they do along the way is intolerable.

See, it’s obviously a light switch (not and we have several formats for them including motion sensors). “But it’s Red?” “Well, that shouldn’t mean anything to you.” (Totally missing that Red means Warning or Stop or Don’t Touch This to most people).

At the Y there is an “eGym” circuit of machines that are computer controlled. You have to log in, and the machine sets to your preferences and starts a countdown and gamifies the workout (snake diagram). So that’s a bit better. But I see the people stalling on the normal machines and just sitting.

Just your yearly reminder that Columbus Day was, in fact, more important to announce recognizing Italian Immigrants as white in 1937 than as a celebration of anything. Also Chris was such a brutal pedophilic tyrant as governor he was recalled by the monarchy behind the Spanish Inquisition.

At work, since 2025, I've noticed a distinct increase in people wearing crosses. I've asked my coworkers about it (not like 1) they fucking notice anything or 2) aren't Christian Nationalist curious themselves) and they haven't seen it, but we now have pink dentures cups to hold people's jewelry.

So I still hope I'm "fixable", but I'm not half the man I used to be. And at work, this year's slate of "compliance" training (I work in healthcare) included a new module on "diagnosis failures" (I forget what they actually called it). The course was actually

I have avoided the genetics consult because, well, of whom is in the White House and my general level of distrust (yes, I can't be discriminated against because of genetics, but that doesn't even have the stability of what abortion had and, well, we've seen how that goes).

fatigue, brain fog and anomia - this is where words just sort of drop out of your brain, you know them, when you start speaking you have it in your head, but when you get to say it the word just isn't there - but it's possible this anemia may also be related). The most common denominator in all

Last year's ferritin infusion worked pretty well and got me to almost normal for about half a year. But then I started crashing even harder. I'm about a month and a half past this year's infusion and things are real spotty. Some days are okay, and then there are days like today where I just don't

Steve Buchheit @stevebuchheit.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

But at least my hematologist(s) believes me (it's only through their tests that we could say, yes, this is an anemia). But I've had 3 hematology CNPs and my appointment next month is with the 1st one (circled all around and back to her, aint the staffing crisis in healthcare FUN!).

and said, "I got no clue, but here's a plan to find someone who does." So it's been 3 years so far. And I've seen lots of specialists (most of whom say, "you're not anemic" during the introductions). but energy levels are low.

Steve Buchheit @stevebuchheit.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

that's where it shows up. Again, plenty of iron, my ability to use that iron is nearly off the charts, I'm just not making lots of hemoglobin. And oral iron supplements (with Vitamin C) do absolutely nothing. So I get infusions of ferritin. And I know all this because my PCP actually listened

Steve Buchheit @stevebuchheit.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

The good news is my anemia is detectable in blood tests, but you have to look for it, several doctors have missed it because all the normal markers are in the "good to excellent" range. But if you look for the variation of red blood cell size, and the saturation levels of hemoglobin IN those cells,

What I fear is the Russians will make a honey pot of one of their tankers and position it to draw Ukraine fire, which will then give an excuse for Trump to come into the war on Russia’s side.

So Trump has “made a deal” with Putin for Russia to ship diesel to the US… but I thought part of the problem was Ukraine destroying Russia’s diesel infrastructure? (And can someone please explain to him that oil is priced as a world commodity, not locally, Natalie you’re not very good at this job)
