  2. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

  3. I have a problem.

    My mother is 91. She has dementia and she's stubborn as hell. I'm her health proxy.

    Her latest tests indicate that she's not taking at least one important medication often enough. I set up a timed pill box to release her pills every morning; it's kept at her neighbor's place, and she brings it over to my mother every morning.

    But Mom is a sneaky one. She'll maybe take a pill or two, and then put the rest of them aside and say she'll take them later. Sometimes we find a loose pill or two on the carpet or fallen inside an armchair.

    The doctor also ordered her to give up drinking, but there is a wine shop 3 minutes from her door and she has been getting one or two bottles of wine a week. Despite the fact that Mom promised her doctor that she wouldn't drink any more.

    Her memory is shot, but she's also capitalizing on that, I sometimes suspect. We need to either get someone to make sure she takes her pills everyday, or she's going to have to move to assisted living.

    I live more than an hour away and I work full time. My brother and sister are closer, but they both have very important jobs and are very busy.

    My brother thinks we can talk to her and tell her that she needs to take her pills, but I'm not buying it. I spend more time with her then either of them, and I just don't see her cooperating.

    So now the question is, are there home health aids that can dispense pills? Or rather, who could make sure she takes her pills? I'm being told that there aren't, but that seems insane.

    Anyway, is anyone else going through something like this? Any suggestions to share? Thanks!

  4. A quotation from Philip Larkin

    Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms
    Inside your head, and having people in them, acting.
    People you know, yet can’t quite name.

    Philip Larkin (1922-1985) English poet, novelist, librarian
    Poem (1974), “The Old Fools,” High Windows

    »The festival got off to a shaky start on Thursday after the competition jury, led by the German film-maker Wim Wenders, fielded questions about the conflict in Gaza. Asked if films can affect political change, Wenders said that “movies can change the world” but “not in a political way”.

    He added that film-makers “have to stay out of politics because…

  6. "Trump’s social media post also repeated a false claim he has made repeatedly that Newsom could have prevented last year’s fires if he had let water flow from the Pacific Northwest. California does not get water supply from the Pacific Northwest."

  8. "I'm done for the day, Ms Bertier. I'll be back tomorrow. You have to press this button when I ring, OK? Not this one, this is the remote control. The beeper is on the right, the phone in the middle and the remote on the left.
    - I can't even remember my husband.
    - You were never married Ms Bertier.
    - Ah... It's even worse than I thought then..."

  9. Trump's brain rot is exposed with weekly regularity, talking about things he's either completely making up... or remembering events that never actually happened.

  11. So, just to make sure I get this right...

    There's a senile codger who sits at home at night, alone with his grievances, no friends, a wife that detests him and refuses to be in the same room with him. He stews and stares at the TV, flipping around hoping to find people saying nice things about him.

    Then, possibly triggered by whatever he sees on TV, or perhaps thermal noise in his degrading neurons, he comes up with some random, crazy thing, and he posts it to social media.

    And then the US cabinet jumps up and says "Yes sir, what a great idea sir, we're on it sir".

    Do I have that right?

    I think others are correct. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords would be a *much* better basis for a system of government.

  12. Like any other living person I’m not suggesting a trans woman is not capable of committing a crime but can anyone name a single historical sexual or violent assault or any other crime of note that has been committed by a trans person in #Aotearoa #NewZealand? I’m sure there has to be some sort of historical evidence or record of such a thing occurring to justify the Deputy Prime Minister of NZ prioritising so much of his time to this irrelevant issue. #NZPol #WinstonPeters #Senility

  13. Lawrence O’Donnell last night said that Trump has no mental function in his brain any more, there's nothing in there... "the poisonous broken brain of Donald Trump" - At least the media is slowly speaking out.

    Steve Liesman called Trump insane on CNBC last night too.

  14. The 'Radish Boiling Festival' (大根焚 'Daikon-daki') is particularly popular with older people.
    Many take the time to pray to a statue of 'Bokefuji Kannon' (ぼけ封じ観音), a bodhisattva believed to protect against senility.

    These photos show the statue of Bokefuji Kannon at Imakumano Kannon-ji (今熊野観音寺).

  15. Trump sways and bops to music for 39 minutes in bizarre town hall episode;
    Vice President Kamala Harris has called Trump, 78, unstable and questioned his mental acuity.

  16. Whether ignorant or lying, 45 does not have the grasp of reality needed to be an effective president.

    Trump falsely claims Georgia Governor Kemp had difficulty reaching President Biden while Kemp discusses the conversation he had directly with Biden.

    Being this out of touch with the world, especially in a crisis, is one of the ways trump is not ready to be president.
