Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

"But the thing about risk is that when it happens, it happens fast. And the magnitude of that first loss will be directly proportional to the length of time it takes for that first loss to occur."

Not an article I wanted to write.
The deadly H5N1 bird flu is spreading widely, including to mammals.
For the first time, it's now likely spreading mammal-to-mammal, among minks which are exceptionally well-suited conduits to humans.

Try starting the day (post sunlight viewing) w/1-3min of uncomfortably cold (yet safe) water exposure (shower or immersion to the neck). The research-supported benefits are significant & long lasting elevations in dopamine & adrenaline, & thereby elevated mood, alertness & focus.

We confirm that Jordan Shank’s home was firebombed last night.He is safe. We hope that every possible police resource is dedicated today to securing evidence and intel. It might even warrant a Strike Force focused upon terrorism and attempted homicide rather than dangerous jokes.

But because most of what’s in the piece isn’t fraud.👇🏽
