This could explain why’s happening here: The main side effects of lecanemab are common infusion-related reactions and a serious side effect called amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), which involves brain swelling or bleeding.  Patients are closely monitored with MRI scans for ARIA.

Where is the Hoagie? One of my favorites. But I guess there are a lot of favorites missing from this list. Thank God the Primanti Brothers sandwich (which includes anything scrapped off a grill between two pieces of bread) wasn't included. www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/t...

Let's be honest with ourselves. There more gun laws to protect wildlife then there are to protect our children. We will never have gun laws to protect our children if we keep electing Republicans.

Pretty soon the MET Office won't have to name storms. As the oceans warm they'll just keep their names from NHC at NOAA.

@symonedsanders.bsky.social is right on point: "... History makes plain what happens when leaders grow weary and turn away. ... Trump is gambling that America will also grow weary of fighting and give up. ..." A technique of pathological liars. When are weary of their lies, they feel they have won.

The haunting message from Antigone, a play by Sophocles: "no one loves the messenger who brings bad news". Trump's reaction is a classic as well. Kill the messenger.

The Trump administration's economic policies are disastrous–creating chaos in the markets, price hikes on consumer products, and rising unemployment.

May I make a request to the Met Office. Can the Met Office do a better in localizing their Yellow Alert for Thunderstorms. We get alerts in the local area even though there is no potential in the area, but potential may exist elsewhere in the UK. Aesop's Fables: #Boy_Who_cried_Wolf.
