Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

I'd never seen Sahara again!

Sahara is hoping you'll be home soon.

Finally realized what the freakout over Mamdani becoming mayor reminded me of, and it's the freakout over the first black mayors in southern cities.

For some reason they've gotten really bad in the last week here, we are overdue for our first frost. Her tick preventive is working fine, it's mine that's sub-par 😬

Bring the green ones inside before a frost. You'll be surprised at how many will ripen.

I think the way they wrote it is confusing as they never mentioned the statistic for the treatment arm (unless I missed it). I just looked it up, and from ASTRO.org, it's 114 patients 70% in treatment arm met responder criteria compared with 42% in placebo.

The placebo results are astounding to me. Fake treatment improving your scores for 40% of people.
