A mini tweetorial on pacing. Pacing is NOT JUST TAKING BREAKS. This perspective on pacing can be extremely frustrating for patients as it a constant reminder of how little they can do, false starts, and demoralizing crashes. Pacing has other components as well.

NEW: Chicago Teachers Union political director Hilario Dominguez is running for school board president.
Heâs already under fire over allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment.
Per the Chicago Tribune âŹď¸
In November 2021, a fellow employee accused DomĂnguez of discrimination and sexual harassment, according to records obtained by the Tribune through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Records show the employee said DomĂnguez repeatedly made a Nazi salute and called them âHitlerâ in front of students. According to records, when the employee asked him to stop, they said he responded, âWhat? You think any of these (expletive) kids know history?â
DomĂnguez had also questioned the employee about their sexual orientation, the employee alleged. The employee was interviewed by a district investigator but ultimately withdrew the complaint, records show.
DomĂnguez was never disciplined.
NEW: The Chicago Teachers Union wants to hike dues by $8.5M â forcing teachers to pay up to $800 more/year.
The first goal, according to the unionâs own documents: buy a majority of Chicago school board seats this November.
Even worse: Theyâre sneaking in a constitutional change to block members from suing the union over violations of their rights.

Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours.
He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death.
Reports now warn the regime is preparing public hangings to terrorize the population. More than 10,000 protesters have been arrested since the start of the 2026 uprising. Many could face the same fate.
The only thing this regime fears is global scrutiny.
Be their voice. Share their names. Expose these crimes. Silence is a death sentence.

"Exertion" in post-exertional malaise isn't the right word.
>Stimulus or stimulation is more accurate.
"Malaise" in post-exertional malaise isn't the right word.
>Progressive exhaustion is more accurate.
Too early to name specific system dysfunctions, because there are many.

Donât take it from me, take it from Chuck Grassley.
Midwest farmers are getting crushed by Trump's tariffs and trade wars. Now heâs sending $20 billion to bail out Argentina while they take over our soybean market?
So much for putting America first.

Marc Maron slams the Riyadh Comedy Festival as Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson and more are set to perform at the Saudi Arabia event.

Two weeks of laughter in the desert, donât miss it!â I mean, the same guy thatâs gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase. But donât let that stop the yucks, itâs gonna be a good time!â

Repression of free speech is no laughing matter.
Comedians performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which falls during the seventh anniversary of Jamal Khashoggiâs brutal murder, should use their platform to defend free speech in Saudi Arabia.

The money is coming straight from the Crown Prince, who actively executes journalists, ppl wnonlethal drug offenses, bloggers, etc w/out due process. A lot of the âyou canât say anything anymore!â Comedians are doing the festival đ they had to adhere to censorship rules to do it

Q: To the best of your knowledge, is it a crime to turn off an escalator?
Ossoff: Iâm sure all the folks in Georgia who are losing access to labor and delivery services, or to an ICU because of these Medicaid cuts, or whose groceries have gone up 8% in a year, will be relieved that the president is investigating escalator failures in New York City.
