Well cool beans!

I've had a vanity domain for years now, which was pointing here, and just now followed the instructions on bsky.social/about/blog/4... (a bit techy, but once I figured out what to edit, it didn't take long) so please now find me at @knauer.ca :)

A fun animal guessing game i found: metazooa.com

"Metazooa is a game that tests how well you know our extended family tree.

Your goal is to figure out today's Animal in as few guesses as possible. Wrong guesses will narrow down the answer by taxonomic rank (kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc.)"

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

I don’t think that’s it. Donanemab’s a better choice.

Leqembi is a 12 month course of IV, switches over to sub Q. It’s slows the progression of Alzheimer’s for just 3 months.

What wud 💯 confirm he’s on Leqembi is if he’s getting MRIs 1 week before a 3rd, 5th, 7th & 14th scheduled infusions.

Also a fun fact: Apparently Walter Reed National Military Medical Center *is* one of the "official" sites doing infusion of Leqembi (per the "Leqembi Locator" website)

Yes. *THAT* Walter Reed National Military Medical Center: leqembilocator.com/2EfeXK2eZ3Wu...
LEQEMBI (Lecanemab-irmb) is FDA approved
LEQEMBI (Lecanemab-irmb) is FDA approved. See the press release, prescribing information, and medical guide.

And if the Dysadministration's medical staff *are* attempting off-label salvage treatment with Leqembi on TFG (who very much is showing signs of *more* than early dementia)...well, this would explain a lot. Including some of the odd facial appearances that some wondered if he'd had a stroke

Even the bruising itself is potentially a tell (especially with the frequency of infusions required for the first 18 months of treatment)--a *real* tell would be if that hand clears up in about a year (as at that point Leqembi users can go to maintenance--monthly infusions, or weekly shots)

And there's also another thing at play here. It's known that TFG's family *does* have a family history of Alzheimer's, and the prescribing info for Leqembi notes there's a higher risk of ARIAs for a certain genetic phenotype associated with early-onset Alzheimer's ("ApoE-4 homozygous")

Leqembi itself can also cause drowsiness as a side effect.

Leqembi is technically approved for *early-stage* Alzheimer's, though I'd not put it past doctors in the Dysadministration to try to use it off-label as salvage treatment for TFG after the dementia became a little TOO obvious

ARIAs (the associated "Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities") are also associated with symptoms resembling an ischemic stroke or "mini-stroke", including confusion, difficulty speaking, muscle weakness, dizziness, and difficulty walking

So far, sounding like anyone we know yet?

Leqembi also has some notable side effects including a "black box" warning for "Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities"--essentially, signs of brain swelling or micro-hemorrhages in the brain--and has been associated with cerebral hemorrhages so MRI are required during Leqembi treatment

Popular rumor mill (which...is honestly the most justified explanation I've seen) is that TFG is on Leqembi, which is a biologic used to treat Alzheimer's (specifically it is a monoclonal antibody delivered by infusion every 2 weeks for the first 18 months of treatment)

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Brachiopods may look like clams, but have a different axis of symmetry and very different internal structures called lophophores. There are still brachiopods alive today, but they are rare.

This Paraspirifer bownockeri is from the Devonian Silica Shale of Sylvania, Ohio.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

They've figured out the easiest way to manipulate Trump, which is to give him a shiny gold trophy and call him the best boy. He really is just a septuagenarian toddler.

Every dot on this map is a New Yorker who chipped in for the Transition to make sure we can hit the ground running on Day 1.

$3 million raised from all five boroughs. $1 million to go.
Thank you for powering this transition. Let's cross that finish line together.
