Starting a war that makes fossil fuel painfully expensive and its supply uncertain has a tendency to do that.

Kisunla. Apparently my family member had about the best reaction to the drug you could hope for — from what I understand it’s not always quite so effective. With the original course of treatment complete we then transitioned to a maintenanc

I’m not aware of anything I buy/use that comes from Israel, so it’s been a moot point. I do maintain some boycotts that significantly inconvenience me (Amazon being one; I won’t enumerate them all), so I’m not just making excuses for i
