An Alzheimer's drug just received accelerated approval from the FDA

This is awesome.

Lecanemab, a monoclonal antibody, is *not a cure* but works by binding to amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease

It’s treating some effects of Alzheimer’s–not early mechanisms. However, this will buy patients time so it’s absolutely a cause to celebrate πŸŽ‰

@AlyAlyOutnFree Hello! I go by April or Kirby and use she/her pronouns. I like baking and improv and sketch comedy. I can write official looking documents for you. I really once said "These acquisition regulations are actually kind of interesting when you get into them."

And I really started getting into selfies about 9.5 months ago for some reason πŸ€”

@AlyAlyOutnFree Hi Alyssa, I am Joanne (she/her). A random thing about me is that I enjoy photography and I recently started infrared photography with full spectrum converted cameras. Perhaps I will post some in the future.

@AlyAlyOutnFree Good morning. I’m Samantha (she/her). Random things about me are that I ran a marathon many years ago, and I like to build lego Star Wars sets. My wife also informed me I’m a giant cat 🀣

Hope you have a good day!

I don't have to count candy if it's from a different country right?

With the rise of self-driving vehicles, it's only a matter of time before we get a country song where a guy's truck leaves him too.

An atmospheric river drenched California on Jan. 4 and 5, 2023. 🌧️

A plume of moisture from the tropical Pacific interacted with a low-pressure system that rapidly strengthened over the northeast Pacific, producing an intense storm.

Mushroom, Leek and White Wine Pasta 🍷

This creamy, savory pasta dish comes together without the need to boil the pasta separately. Savory sautΓ©ed mushrooms and gently sweet leeks combine with cream, lemon juice, and white wine to create the rich sauce. Feel free to switch up the flavor by adding tarragon instead of dill.

My economic plan has always been to grow our economy from the bottom up and the middle out.

Today we learned that unemployment is at a 50-year low after the two strongest years of job growth ever.

We're creating jobs. We're lowering costs. Our plan is working.

Vasyl Semenovych Stus, Ukrainian poet, was born today (1938-1985)
He spoke about the need to preserve and develop Ukrainian culture, for which he was repressed by the Soviet dictatorship. His work was banned. He was sentenced to a long stay in prison, where he died.

TimeCrimes (2007 Spain) This head spinning time travel/paradox film was written/directed/stars Nacho Vigalondo. This is one movie you can’t turn your brain off and just sink into the sofa after a hard workday. Wait til the weekend. Time travel can make your head hurt (in a good way) with paradoxes and this one proves it. Thinking up all the time threads that have to be neatly put in their place can be a challenge but Vigalondo goes big, takes a risk and pulls it off. You're not going to find epic cinematography or production design. It’s a low budget writing focused film and I’m here for it. I really enjoyed it but ended the film with WTF. I love WTF. It’s better than β€œI’ve seen the same damn plot like twenty times in the past month”. Hollywood has an issue with imagination as in they are remaking the same story over and over like an effing time loop. So I love to see something trippy and unique. It was supposed to be remade in English but got trapped in development hell. Find it rentable on most streaming. #SciFi #Sci-Fi #ScienceFiction #Film #FilmFan #Films #Cinema #Movie #Movies
