Well, I had a spot of surgery several weeks ago. I now have an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator). That's the thing in the lower left corner of this picture. The thing that kind of looks like some weird shoulder boob.
My cardiologist has told me that I have weak heart muscle and am at risk for tachycardia arrhythmia which may suddenly kill me without warning. I'll be on beta blockers for at least 90 days and must wear a defibrillator vest until my heart strengthens.

Believe it or not, American roads are even more dangerous than our churches, malls, and schools. We're a disgrace in gun violence and road violence, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Good job. Now make all the other auto makers cease-and-desist until they make vehicles that are actually safe for everyone.

Climate change is wiping out a major wilderness in the Phoenix area, and my dad wants to buy a diesel. I, and millions of others, will know this summer as The Year of the Fire 🔥, as the entire Superstition Wilderness burns to the ground.

Crashes cost the US economy well over $1 trillion a year. Why doesn't crashing get the same public health crisis label? Why don't emissions get that public health crisis level of concern?
