Angry constituent here: "It’s very hard to get people to believe that anyone is trying to end research into finding cures for diseases that affect everyone. The richest people get & & ’s. . . . & yet it is happening. Quite simply, until elected officials start hearing from angry constituents in town halls who are pissed that their futures & the futures of their loved ones are being lit on fire for no reason, then nothing matters."

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Notes on Civil Society’s Quasi-War with A Renegade PresidentBy Josh Marshall

The mind is a curious beast.

I might not remember if I washed a body part I literally did 2 seconds ago, or if I brushed my teeth that I just did.

But gosh darn it if I can't remember that, for this 80s pop song, the singer catches their breath right "here", or shifts vocal ranges "there".

It'll be interesting if this is just my MCI (mild cognitive impairment), or if it is early onset Alzheimer's (it unfortunately runs in my family, including my dad and his mom).
