finished watching Novocaine 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.

I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.

Opinions welcome.

Much as I'm enjoying the Schadenfreude of the Trump/Musk feud along with everyone else, I'm also starting to think the degree we focus on things like this is part of the problem. Politics is not supposed to be just about celebrity personalities. It's supposed to be about policies and representing all the people. We can't get better if we keep getting high off the dopamine supply of news like this. We have to choose to pay attention differently.

Dictators love wars, believing they unite people behind them against the foreign "threat," real or imagined, and distract the public fron their domestic crimes. Let's hope the #media remember that now that #Trump has started an absolutely illegal war with #Iran.

The convicted fraud withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal because of spite, ignorance, or both.

Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.

"MSM doing a bang-up job right now of ignoring the fact that a criminal POTUS unilaterally declared war and instead focusing on Iran’s nuclear capabilities which had a deal w/USA until same criminal pulled out of it because it was achieved under Obama. Trump is a threat to peace everywhere."

The EU Rep says: What was so bad in the Iran Deal?

While leaning on a table with the ripped up Iran Nuclear Deal, the Very fat Convicted fraud felon insurrectionist say: Obama's signature.

I think seeing captured film reels from WWII in grade 10 social studies of bodies being bulldozed into mass graves by Nazi labourers and hearing classmates gasp, several of them breaking down, openly weeping, was a turning point in my view of humanity; I expect parents today would be outraged at such shocking material being put before schoolchildren...

With social and search traffic declining, publishers need new ways to connect with readers.

In this #DotSocial episode, @mike talks with @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben about the benefits of decentralization.

"I think what's really missing is the human-to-human connection and the human curation ... Our informal tagline is 'by humans for humans.' We really just want someone to look at our stuff and send it to their friends in a group text or talk about it out loud or add it to a stream on the fediverse," Jason says.

#Trump Urges #Congress to ‘Kill’ #VoiceOfAmerica as Its *Leader* Defends Gutting It

In a heated hearing, #KariLake, the Trump [crackpot] ally in charge of the federally funded international broadcasting network, called the #media agency “a rotten piece of fish” that should be defunded.
