I did have to stop myself looking up whether Flomax does have off-label uses related to TBI, lol.

I missed my calling as a researcher.

If you liked HOUSE MD but wish the protag was less of a shitty misanthrope, this is that.

Also true to the Holmes canon up to Reichenbach Falls (but also updated to modern day a la ELEMENTARY).

Condom prices could rise 30% due to Iran war, says world’s top producer Karex Karex produces more than 5 billion condoms annually and is a supplier to leading brands like Durex and Trojan, as well as the NHS

In what is being described as a stroke of genius, Donald Trump's illegal war on Iran is driving rapid decarbonisation of the economy and increasing birth rates, satisfying progressives and racists and cementing him as the true centrist.

@realfollowers.bsky.social Sup?

I think ants are great. Amazing little creatures.

Is it too much to ask that my front yard not be AN enormous ant colony that swarms and bites me every time I weed?

Also with all that space outside, could they maybe not come in my house? I AM CREATING HABITAT FOR YOU BITCHES. LEAVE ME ALONE.

‘If you see me, weep’: Hunger stones auguring drought in Europe As water levels dropped in Europe, ancient river stones once again emerged to tell their centuries-old tales of despair.

I felt the same hearing about drying up rivers in Germany revealing centuries old "hunger stones".

It was somewhat relieving to learn that the one carved with the ominous phrase "If you see me, weep" was an ad from a local beer maker 🍺

There’s a report of a dead cow on my local beach and I really feel like the apocalypse is upon us and I don’t feel good. Despite grounding my life in science, I do have some woo woo beliefs and THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL IN MY BRAIN.

The important bit is not "of" as in "ruler of" but emerging from, manifest in as theophany. It is also why there are multiple epithets and localised versions

Build some kind of model castle from the bottles, shellacking it together with drips of old polish 🎨

Googling the rules for how to safely dispose of old nail polish:
❌ DON'T put it in the landfill bin
❌ DON'T put it in the recycling
✅ DO take them to a recycling centre that accepts nail polish
❌ NO, there aren't any such centres in your area

That Special Something That Special Something - Kindle edition by McRae, Erin, Maltese, Racheline. Romance Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

I don’t remember what crisis was going on when we first released this book, but I remember there was one and it got in the way. So now it’s on sale, in the middle of 87 other national/global crises.

(It’s on all platforms, if you boycott the ‘zon try your favorite)

I'm as keen on a good embattled leader stoush as the next person because I'm a petty wench and I love to see Luxon squirm.

But look at what they're doing. They're speed runnning Stephen Harper's playbook. It took him 1 1/2 terms to gut the science and info gathering functions of the state.

Are HP fans still trying to plead "I can't give up on it, it was such a beloved part of my childhood"?

Mate, I grew up watching and adoring the work of Bill Cosby.

It's heartbreaking, but survivable.

Unless, y'know, you're a coward or a bigot who values entertainment over real human lives.
