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.)"

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.

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

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)

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.

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.
