If you don't want to, the summary: to comply with Russian law (they didn't admit that part but I know that's why they had to do it), users with the "Cyrillic Services" turned on can no longer post or comment unless they are inside Russia and identified with their government identity.

look, I've seen what life looks like if you're poor and sick and have nowhere else to go but enough money that some agency will still pay for your ass to live and be cared for. That for-profit institutionalization is not what anyone's end of life care should look like.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

On the drive home just now I was thinking about how Homer's epics were oral histories written as songs that were meant to be memorized and performed for an audience, and I realized that the Iliad and Odyssey were both very long versions of Barrett's Privateers

Back in the '70s, a family friend was a nurse who cared mostly for cancer patients and started one of the first hospices in the area, and she swore someday researchers would find that cancers were caused or activated by viruses because, most of the time, the disease was so completely random.
