And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.

Wouldn’t it be so useful if we had a robot that could do our laundry? We already have so many conveniences that people a century ago could only wish for. But we still don’t have an automated way of doing laundry, which includes dealing with the washer and dryer, ironing, folding clothes, sorting, and putting everything away in neat piles in their respective drawers or closets.

The term "gaslighting" is now so widely used that it is at risk of losing meaning. Recent efforts to define "gaslighting" distort and constrain its use. Gaslighting is not always intentional and does not necessarily involve falsehood. The term "gaslighting" originated in 1938, but it was not until about 2010...

As I recover from my recent surgery, I continue to experience periodic pain in my abdomen where the surgical incisions were made. The pain is not coming from the incisions, but seems to be coming from deep within my belly. Less than a week after the surgery, I was doing well, managing my post-op pain only with Tylenol, when the pain suddenly became intolerable, and I went to the emergency room. They did a CT scan of my stomach and couldn’t find anything. I saw the surgeon a couple of days later and he also had no explanation. The pain has decreased some and I manage it with Toradol which doesn’t make me drowsy. I wonder how long it’s going to last, and if it is me somatizing—or if the doctors somehow missing something?
