- Many of you know by now of my struggle against Stage IV colon cancer. After 3 years of holding it at bay, it has finally gotten the upper hand. We are out of chemo options to try at this point, and even if we had one, it would be dicey to use it...287 comments 1552 Recs
- I posted a diary about this awhile back but it was during a busy time on the site for new postings and unfortunately it got quickly pushed down the recent list and disappeared. So, I thought I take one more run at it. After three years battling it...86 comments 373 Recs
- As we all know, President Joe Biden delivered a superb State of the Union speech last night. There was a GOP rebuttal. I didn’t watch it. Few did. But the buzz around it got me to check it out this morning. They set it, oddly, in a kitchen. Junior...679 comments 1099 Recs
- I am surprised that there haven’t been more diaries like BayAreaKen’s about the Supreme Court choosing to review the lower court ruling that the arguments favoring absolute presidential immunity made by the former White House occupant’s lawyers were...538 comments 792 Recs

- There’s a new, first-of-its-kind report out today—the 88-page State of the World’s Migratory Species—put together by the Convention on Migratory Species. Let’s just cut to the chase. The report finds that 44% of 1,189 migratory species listed under CMS...49 comments 170 Recs
- H/t to Kossak, John in Denver for encouraging me to write this diary. January 19, 2024 was my one year anniversary of sobriety. I used to drink . . . a lot. My story was stress and a shitty life with a shitty job and a demented landlord who dumped his...377 comments 452 Recs
