Twin Cities MN folks, question:
Do you know a pain management specialist who is not a dick to people in pain?
I need a specialist who 1) believes in chronic pain of unknown etiology, 2) is willing to provide pain relief for conditions that never improve, and 3) IS NOT A JERK.

You never see the world in real time. Your brain runs about 100 milliseconds behind. 👁️⏳
Your visual system needs that long to turn light into signals and process them, so your brain predicts ahead to mask the delay.
What you see isn’t the present — it’s a reconstruction of the recent past.

The Nuzzi thing is a good reminder that outside the deep structural issues of energy/subsistence, most of what's happening right now is an old-fashioned crisis of elite legitimacy, which sounds comforting until you realize how some of those have turned out in the past

PSA: Anyone living close to the coast in the northeast Atlantic should keep their eyes out for beached sea turtles as we head into the coldest months of the year. Countries across northwest Europe have quietly been documenting greatly elevated stranding rates for the last couple of years. 🧪🐢

The turtles will die at sea from cold shock in this season and this part of the world, so do not return them to the water! If you find a live turtle, contact your nearest aquarium or animal rescue service. If you find a dead one, contact your nearest natural history museum.
