This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

My wife and I are partners.
We share finances but split responsibilities.
One of the things she handles is our health insurance. That means the monthly premium. The phone calls. The disputes. The endless back-and-forth when the same charge magically shows up twice.

Wow, beautiful!!
Auroral Corona: Cycle 25 solar maximum made 2025 a great year for aurora borealis (or aurora australis) on planet Earth. And the high level of solar activity should extend into 2026. So, while you're celebrating the arrival of the new year, check out the skies over Kirkjufell, Iceland.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Can you tell that today is a solstice by the tilt of the Earth? Yes. At a solstice, the Earth's terminator -- the dividing line between night and day—is tilted the most. The featured time-lapse video demonstrates this by displaying an entire year on planet Earth in twelve seconds.

While the term “bomb cyclone” may be generalized as a buzzword for a strong storm, there is a meteorological threshold for reaching that classification.
