Anesthesia and memory loss
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
I noticed this article in TheScientist Magazine today. Anesthesia Impairs Memory in Mice | The Scientist Magazine® (the-scientist.com) It is reporting on the original published work, Anesthetics fragment hippocampal network activity, alter spine dynamics, and affect memory consolidation (plos.org) For some time, I've been concerned about memory changes after anesthesia, but haven't been able to find anything about it except discussions of "brain fog" and short term memory loss that clears after a day or so. I recently cancelled an appointment for a colonoscopy, a procedure I ...

dsutherland, Lawfare - 12 hours ago
A Macbook computer (Quentin Meulepas/https://flic.kr/p/6idQDx/CC BY 2.0/https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Recent surveys by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) consistently reveal that one of the top concerns for general counsel at private companies is cybersecurity. This concern is certainly well placed, given the steady stream of alarming incidents involving the security of sensitive data. As a result, corporate general counsel are increasingly hiring, or aware of the need for, an attorney who focuses on “cybersecurity.” But what does that specifically mean? W...

Wisconsin Supreme Court Finds Wisconsin Governor Acted Unlawfully On Mask Mandate
Jonathan Turley, null - 10 hours ago
[image: undefined] The Wisconsin Supreme Court blocked Democratic Gov. Tony Evers from issuing any new public health emergency orders to mandate face masks. In a 4-3 decision that broke along ideological lines, the conservative majority found that Evers lacked authority for his order. It is similar to a ruling rejecting orders by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. What was most striking was the dissenting opinion from the three liberal justices. The dissenting justice adopted the most convoluted and artificial construct to ignore the plain meaning of the controlling state law. Justice...

During the February snowstorm, Miss D. and I found ourselves unable to clear snow from our driveway because we couldn't find the right tools. We had no snow shovel, and no full-size spade or shovel - only small gardening trowels, and a couple of entrenching tools. It's not that we didn't have better tools, but they were stored elsewhere for the winter. We didn't expect to need them in North Texas weather, where snow and ice are seldom an issue.

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Iranian Navy, * They might not be sexy, but they could prove to be Iran's secret weapon. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* With recent tensions stepping up with Iran, the need for effective minesweepers is rapidly rising. But a recent report by ProPublica suggests that the American minesweeper fleet is hardly ready to be deployed, and the replacement ships are some ways off. Hypersonic missiles and fast attack boats may dominate the headlines as the primary threats to the U.S. Navy, but the naval mine remains one of the deadliest threats to the modern warship. M...

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Check, * [image: Stimulus Check] In a recent update, the IRS acknowledged that most non-filers weren’t included in the current batch, as it focused on sending out payments to those who filed a tax return in 2019 or 2020. It also included individuals who didn’t file a return but were able to register with the IRS non-filers tool.

Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 15 hours ago
Say what you will about Steve Schmidt, the former Republican strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, but he's right about Lindsey Graham. The way to understand [Graham] is to look at what's consistent.

This is gaslighting on an extraoridnary scale, and goes out of its way to deny the life experiences of minority ethnicities and purposely ignore the multiple indices that have recorded and continue to record the consequences of racial discrimination and inequality. The *British Medical Journal* are especially scathing, damning it for "cherry-picked data" and its attempt "to undo several decades of irrefutable peer-reviewed research evidence on ethnic disparities, previous governments’ reports, and i...
