A commonly held belief regarding our day-to-day lives is that icing an injury helps healing. Increasingly, research is showing that cold impedes healing, while heat improves it. I just came across this recent piece adding to that body of work: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…
I’ve been wondering whether failing spectacularly in fund management leads to online porn addiction (OnlyFans) or whether it’s caused by the same underlying pathologies. Thoughts?

Oh San Francisco… You never cease to amaze me (with anti-social public policy).
Quick poll question, if you will. When considering impacts that AI could have on the job market in 10-15 years, do you see science or social studies as being more important in K-5th education?
A quick education poll if you please. In K-5th grades, which is more important: Social Studies or Science; or, are they Equally Important?
Damn you, USC! Why haven’t you ended the war in Gaza? (Sarcasm)
#ValleyFire #CreekFire #ElDoradoFire If fire comes too quick to #evacuate and you're stuck, OR if you're preparing #evacuation bc you're in a warning or are worried, please see linked thread for what to do! Cell service often goes out. Take your pets! 🔥💚
If you must SIP, put wet towels under doors, close all windows & fireplace damper, & if you have time, get on roof & cover vents. Before fire approaches, turn off gas at meter, fill trash cans/buckets/tub w/water, wet down roof and vegetation (thread...)
#SoCo Health Officer, whose county is prohibited from opening schools in the fall due to infection rates, sees no need for more business closures. When this generation of school kids attain lower HS graduation rates than their parents, remember these decisions @NorthBayNews
I think of all the bread types out there, sourdough would make the best toilet paper.
If governments are “economies”, are people “virus consumables”?
Jill Biden deserves a lot of credit for her quick movements to protect her husband from the vegan protesters, but I think the ease with which the protesters were removed confirms that it’s hard to build muscle on a vegan diet. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wl3lRi…
A news story I could never have imagined - according to the @WSJ, Bernie Sanders‘s campaign was the catalyst for Public Enemy’s breakup: wsj.com/articles/biden…
The SF ballot reliably providing proof of the city’s complete political dysfunction:
It’s a strange juxtaposition to see photos of HK democracy activists with sitting US Congressmen - people who crave democracy with people who break it.
It was my pleasure to meet today with @NathanLawKC, a Hong Kong activist and member of a new generation of aspirational leaders continuing Hong Kong’s fight for freedom and autonomy. The United States is proud to stand with them.
