Automnemophobia
Here's an interesting fact about the stock market: when people invest, they aren't reacting to today's economy, but to a future economy eighteen months from now. The biggest benefit of Bad Buddhism is distance. Like when the people in my life- friends, family members, lovers-let me down, why let that bother me? Here's an interesting fact about me: whenever the stock market closes in the red, my brain always repeats the same motions. Here's something I probably shouldn't tell you about J: he once went to the emergency room to remove a pilonidal cyst.

Out of the ring: boxing and long-term brain damage
Charles Bernick at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas (NV, USA) is lead researcher of the “Professional Fighters Brain Health Study”, which measures the effects of long-term head trauma in combat sports. Using MRI, the Study sought to identity the so-called breaking point, when continued repetitive blows to the head lead to measurable cognitive impairment. The results from the study show that Fight Exposure Score—based on duration and intensity of fights—was associated with lower brain volumes, notably in the thalamus and caudate, and speed of processing slowed with decreased thalamic volumes and with increasing fight exposure.

At the 2025 midterm elections, Rodrigo Duterte, the former president, was elected mayor of Davao City despite having been arrested by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged crimes against humanity and sent to The Hague for trial just months earlier. His eldest son, Paolo, was re-elected to the House of Representatives, and his youngest son, Sebastian, became Davao City's vice mayor. During their campaigns, Duterte's children projected themselves as upholding their father's propensity for violence. Sebastian Duterte talked tough on drug users and criminals, declaring in Mar 2024, \"If you don't leave [Davao], I will kill you.\" Within a week of this threat, seven drug suspects were killed. (Between 12,000 and 30,000 people were killed in Duterte's drug war from July 2016 to Mar 2019.) CCTV video showing Paolo Duterte assaulting a businessman shortly before midterms had echoes of his sister, Vice President Sara Duterte, assaulting a court sheriff in front of cameras in 2011. Duterte's strategy of leveraging violence as a political tool continues to endure, with many pro-Duterte candidates mimicking his tough-on-crime, \"violent populist\" persona. But how has the political discourse on Duterte's drug war changed?
