YEP, THEY’VE GONE WAY OVERBOARD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION: How nursing home residents got caught in the opioid backlash. “Since the height of the opioid epidemic, doctors have been prescribing fewer of these medications. A new study from UC San Francisco shows that this trend extends to nursing home residents who may need opioids to manage chronic pain.”

NOT TOO MUCH FOR ME: Trump Was Right Again: Too Much Winning. “Is it possible that “too much winning” is not just a rallying cry but, in practice, a bad thing? Any Psychology 101 course will teach you that change is the chief cause of stress, and Trump 2.0 has one indisputable characteristic – unrelenting, unyielding, unprecedented change.

Western ground force officer corps have to train to the fact that FPV drones are the way modern ground combat is fought.

Adapt to that fact or face death and defeat. https://t.co/ClXNq7TAq0
