If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

Bad move for a man whose name is so close to malarky.
Makary is blocking a treatment for incurable melanoma bc the multiple trials its undergone were not RCTs.
The drug is intended for patients for whom other cancer therapies have not worked.
An RCT would require a control group to continue to use chemotherapy that previously had not worked for them.

Between 1913-1918, even while incarcerated in Poland and Germany for her activism, Luxemburg collected plants sent to her by friends and found in the prison grounds. With care and expertise, she pressed and annotated close to 400 varieties of leaves and flowers.

Rosa Luxemburg, Botanist. Luxemburg’s Herbarium presents the first-ever translation of the radical icon’s little-known collection of pressed plants, offering a fascinating window into her ecological perspective. Better known for her revolutionary politics, Rosa Luxemburg was also an avid botanist.

Healing requires the pursuit of justice. Just not the right guy for the moment.
Beshear: "If somebody is looking for a Democratic version of Trump, that's not me. My goal is to bring people together, my goal is to heal the country. You can't do that if you're engaged in the same tactics he is. If that's what the American people are looking for, I'm not their guy."

I realize it's ancillary to the horror, but *People magazine*, which is not some lefty publication, thinks this story is newsworthy and interesting to its readers. That seems like a good sign.
