The only thing that I share with that elite is some of the family's disdain for #TonyTenFlags, aka Tony Abbott.
Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years
Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction
Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.
I made the mistake of trying to spring clean the garden room/my study on a day after I had a full 8h sleep for the first time in >6mo.
Thing is my brain is working well enough to remind me I that I apparently hate absolutely everything and everyone and now I am too pissed off to clean and am just leaving everything like a dusty bomb went off in here.
Gonna go sit with my dog on the sofa and get another early night so that I can get right back to hating everything BRIGHT AND EARLY. #dysfunction
#webIndustry & #AI by @baldur
"Even the #paidjobs when they happen have much lower budgets and are employing fewer people.
This #dysfunction means that the “adjacent but still in the industry” jobs that used to pay for the #passionprojects are fewer and farther between. More and more people have to rely on unrelated day jobs (or spouses) to stay in the industry and the cold hard truth is that most of them will burn out and leave eventually."

Annual ‘winners’ for most egregious #US healthcare profiteering announced
Selling body parts without consent and billing desperate parents $97,599 for air transport among worst examples
The 2024 “winners” of the annual #Shkreli awards, given each year to perpetrators of the most egregious examples of #profiteering and #dysfunction within the healthcare industry, have been released from the #LownInstitute, an independent healthcare #thinktank

The continued #Dysfunction in the #DemocraticParty paired with the #Ruthlessness of the #TrumpublicanParty will continue to drag the US down. Unfortunately for #Americans this #Asymmetry is a #DeathSpiral https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/aoc-loses-house-oversight-committee-vote-gerry-connolly-rcna184581
Seems like we're reaching a point where people are willing to put up with their own family dysfunctions less and less. This is likely why estrangement, for some, is a far more viable option than it ever used to be. The results of the recent presidential election aren't slowing this down either. #family #dysfunction #politics
Media is useless. #TheFourthEstateIsDead, and acts just like the #DemocraticParty, as if #Trump and the #GOP are acting in #GoodFaith. #Poynter behaves similarly. The point of Trump's picks are to #DAMAGE_GOVERNMENT and create #Dysfunction-A #DecapitationStrike
@HistoPol @energisch_ We can hope there will be a fight. The whole point of this #DecapitationStrike is to actively cause #Dysfunction. To damage government in a way people will buy the rhetoric from the right: #GovernmentIsBroken

#Catiline Was Wicked
The Catilinarian Conspiracy of 63 BCE was a symptom of #dysfunction in the late #Roman Republic. It foreshadowed the rise of Roman imperialism.
Instability & Corruption
The conspiracy emerged in a climate of intense rivalry and public corruption that was dominating the political atmosphere of the late #Republic.
Also, it's very easy to lose sight of the principle that it's always a people problem—to treat the problem as an almost material thing, an object, that needs fixing.
I've made this mistake too many times. It's cost me.
As Gerry Weinberg would say, "There's always a problem and it is always a people problem." Believe otherwise at your own risk.
As an engineer AND ESPECIALLY AS A MANAGER, I've encountered this so often.
Be wary. There's often **political** reasons for entrenched patterns like this, particularly when they are dysfunctional. You are likely to piss off someone who has motivated self-interest in keeping things this way.
Attempting to modify these sorts of behaviors risks activating an organization's immune system.
Ask me how I know...

"The truth is what facts are. I like facts. I like things to line up and be clear, and when we are honest and true about things, it helps things to make sense, and it cuts out a lot of the fat that gets in the way and causes for the misunderstandings that I believe lead to violence and... dysfunction, etc." ~ Amanda Seales
Poor #DonOld #TrumpVIrus ....
Although he never makes mistakes (being #perfect and all),
Sir Stable Genius has revised his own use of the term "black jobs".
From the scene of (one of his) #crimes - his own #words - he made it all better.
Terrific. "All the best words". So smart. A stable genius!*.

The #Constitution means whatever the #JohnRoberts court says it means, even when that meaning conflicts w/the basic principles of American #democracy.
It is against this backdrop of institutional #dysfunction & #judicial arrogance that President #Biden, fresh from his decision to leave the campaign trail in favor of his vice president, introduced his three-point package of #SupremeCourt reforms.
The #BloodBrainBarrier, a network of blood vessels and tissues that nurtures and protects the brain from harmful substances circulating in the blood—is disrupted in #AlzheimerDisease. Now, researchers at #MayoClinic and collaborators have uncovered unique #molecular signatures of blood-brain barrier #dysfunction that could point to new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.
