I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Hey, remember when Republicans were outraged when the Obamas put in a play structure for their kids and a vegetable garden on the grounds of the White House? Good times.

Help me understand why folks are being fired for expressing themselves about Charlie Kirk’s views. Aren’t Kirk and the other group simply entitled to this expression as part of their second amendment rights?
I abhorred Kirk’s views but understand his right to express them.

We adopted a 4.75 yo female Portuguese Water Dog 2 wks ago. She was in a great situation with a well-known breeder, is gorgeous, great temperament, and a beautiful coat. We’ve taken it slow, and are slowly introducing her to new things.
I know the 3-3-3 rule. What suggestions do you have for us?

Dr. Goadsby discuses #ClusterHeadache and stigma. “One of the most disturbing pieces of data I’ve seen was from a survey done by the European Migraine and Headache Alliance. Something like 20% to 25% of the patients they surveyed said they experience the most stigma from physicians.”
Check out our latest interview! Dr. Peter Goadsby talks about how he got into medicine, how his work on #CGRP started from a research conference conversation, and why physicians need to get their own house in order to reduce #headache stigma. #migraine
