Every time I start to get Imposter Syndrome, I remind myself how stupid everything is, everywhere, all the time.
It doesn't help. But that's what I do.
Am I reading this right?
Israel gets an extra 12 hours to bomb Iran but they aren't allowed to fire back?

An update on my friend Elnaz.
Today just before noon, they bombed her suburb. The younger brother of a friend was killed.
She’s exhausted of being terrified, and is having horrible nightmares when she can sleep.
She says families don’t talk about their fear to each other to try to shield them.
I told her that I am doing my best to make sure everyone within my reach gets some sense of the individual reality of living in this state of terror, and not some abstract satellite photo on the news.
<p>Millions are still living with the effects of Long COVID and new research shows that for older adults, the consequences may be profound and lasting.</p><p>In part one of a special two-part series on “Conversations on Health Care,” Dr. Gabriel de Erausquin, a neurologist and leading Long COVID researcher at the University of Texas Health San Antonio, shares groundbreaking findings from his global study of over 3,500 patients. His work reveals a troubling connection: many Long COVID patients over 60 show cognitive decline that mirrors early signs of dementia.</p><p>“The parts of the brain that are affected by COVID overlap significantly with those that are affected early in the course of Alzheimer’s….the changes overlap, but they are not identical.”</p><p>His team is now studying brain imaging and biomarkers to understand the link between COVID-related cognitive decline and traditional neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.</p><p>Dr. de Erausquin also explains how persistent loss of smell — a hallmark COVID symptom — may be the strongest predictor of ongoing cognitive issues, and how genetic sequencing is helping uncover inherited risk.</p><p>He highlights a dual reality: while many Long COVID patients show biological changes, others had prior diagnoses of depression, anxiety, or chronic fatigue — a nuance often missing from public conversations.</p><p>Click to hear the full conversation with hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter.</p><p>“Originally aired on May 15, 2025”</p><p><br></p>
