Trump belongs in an institution for the sanity challenged and no where near the nuclear codes.

"We Put Everything in Boxes"

A series of images I made for an art therapy project for people caring for Alzheimer sufferers. It's about my Mother's journey, from her old home after the death of her husband - a photographer. It's been a long journey.

She's still with us, but only fleetingly knows who we are.
Tough. She was such a loving, intelligent Argentinian woman.

Trump having his Shakespearian Moment?

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears

“Trump screamed at aides for hours. The Europeans aren’t helping, he said repeatedly. Gas prices averaged $4.09. Images of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis—one of the biggest international policy failures of a presidency in recent times—had been looming large in his mind, people who have spoken to him said. 

“If you look at what happened with Jimmy Carter…with the helicopters and the hostages, it cost them the election,” #Trump had said in March. “What a mess.”

The president’s impulsive style has never before been tested during a sustained military conflict; ruminating on Jimmy Carter

Eating more plants linked to lower risk of dementia, even in older age

Eating more healthy whole plants in midlife reduces the risk of dementia, while consuming more unhealthy plant-based foods raises risk, a new study found.

Does using AI increase the risk of dementia?

Researchers warn: constantly delegating to AI instead of thinking for yourself may lead to cognitive debt. Brain activity drops — similar to how GPS replaced our sense of direction.

But: active, critical AI use seems to stimulate the brain instead.

The difference isn't the tool — it's whether you stop thinking.

Suddenly being a personal care provider for my mother-in-law with extreme memory issues is simultaneously fascinating and frustrating.

I can't help but compare this to the movie _Memento_. Not that she's forgetting who she is, or where she is, but her mind is still very inconsistent with what she can remember. Often she forgets something she just said, or where she put something she was just holding 5 minutes ago.

It's fascinating to see what someone's "default" thought cyles are.

She is _constantly_ defaulting back to money as the thing she thinks about. How much something costs. How much something is worth. How much she has to pay for some perceived future expense. She behaves like she lived through the great depression, but she's been living a very comfortable lifestyle for 30+ years.

Her 2nd default thoughts are about people who died. Family, friends, acquaintances. Sometimes thinking she needs to talk to someone who is long passed.

And then finally the cycle comes back to grief over my father-in-law.

My Mother’s Memory

My mother is 103 years old. To live for over a century is a miracle, but it comes with a heavy tax. Her progressive dementia has reached a stage where language is slipping away. Her speech has become “gibberish” we can’t quite decode, and her once-prolific writing has slowed to a trickle of fragmented lines.
