Snoring and neck pain were wrecking my sleep, until my therapist recommended a supportive neck pillow. A game-changer from the very first night. Not magic, just smart support.

Raising kids in academia will be harder in the future because as having a few or no children becomes the norm, job performance standards will be based on people who don't have to spend time and energy on parenting.

Hello everyone. My book, "Drink Your Way Sober: The Science-Based Method to Break Free From Alcohol," is out tomorrow. I've done a bunch of interviews lately and I'm going to post them in this thread rather than repeatedly spamming you, and in exchange I would really appreciate

Blind spot in academia: Assuming that even trivial private sector involvement inherently raises conflicts of interest but working for multi-billion dollar hospitals and universities does not.

If you enjoy vampire stories, check out Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu (Audiobook is in the Public Domain) which preceded Bram Stoker's Dracula by a quarter century and is an eerie, sensual, unnerving novella. https://t.co/nmsnYpzZc5 via @YouTube

Great history books illuminate how different humans were in the past: "Peter Stuyvesant despised Jews, loathed Catholics, recoiled at Quakers, and reserved a special hatred for Lutherans. Which is to say, he was the very model of a well-bred mid-seventeenth century European."

This is an honest, well-written, and engaging book about a path to recovery from drinking problems that more people should know about.

Very fun 2022 column on the "50% greater" club of sports records by @DKThomp My own favorite is not mentioned but meets the 50% greater standard and will never be exceeded: Johnny Vander Meer's most no hitters in a row (2). https://t.co/dHiygi6NBh

People in recovery need time to rebuild from the wreckage of addiction. AB255 gives people that chance. The recovery community urges @CAgovernor to sign the recovery housing bill into law! @MattHaneySF @Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @salvationarmysf @BayAreaCouncil

Edmonton is having many deaths from carfentanil, which is 100 times strong than fentanyl (!). They have supervised consumption sites, naloxone, test strips etc but there really is no way to make use safe...even "safer" use is very dangerous. https://t.co/qdh5aekvRX
globalnews.ca
From January to May, 68 per cent of opioid deaths in Alberta involved carfentanil — up 10 per cent from 2024 — and in Edmonton, carfentanil deaths jumped from 17 to 78 per cent.
