I'm gonna say something that will probably jinx this, but here goes. I'm shocked, SHOCKED, at how this forum here on Locals is unfolding. I've seen posts here that on Facebook would have triggered either Liberal or Conservative "elephants" to stampede with vitriol and reactivity, but instead here prompt thoughtful dialog, a supportive and inclusive attitude, and generally helpful conversation even when it's clear that people disagree on the fundamental politics of the subject. WHAT THE HELL. Could there be hope for us yet? Is the Alt-Middle really a thing?
This place is teaching me that the answer is a resounding yes. I'm so proud to be here with y'all in this Tribe 🙏
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
My news feed is like living in a parallel universe. First our local hospital set to close two whole wards and an article explaining why the NHS says this loss of beds will benefit patients and while I was trying to get my head round that logic this headline was confusing it ...still good to know that chintz is back. I had no idea Alex Jones was a supporter of floral prints.
(Ohhhhh not that Alex Jones - I see!)
10 days ago I lost the hearing in my left ear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a reversal with crazy dosing of Prednisone by the time the remix of Rubber Soul hits on October 2nd. Failing that, I still have the Beatles Mono Box to listen to. 🤪
