The entire country of Portugal ran on renewable energy for six days in a row.

I would love to try these!

What if you could walk way faster without trying any harder? Moonwalkers basically put an electric moving sidewalk right under your feet. WIRED's Brent Rose has some questions: Are they real? Are they safe? And are they actually any good?

This #HolocaustMemorialDay, we ask you to #RememberTheirWords, the words of the victims of the Holocaust.


January 27 is designated by the United Nations General Assembly as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Since 2005, the UN and its member states mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and to honor the millions of victims.


Great list @aysrick!

Happy New Year!


Scary thread!

3 patients in last 2 weeks all with significant short term memory issues including forgetting where they are going while driving. No prior dementia. None brought up COVID infection until asked. All three have been infected within past 4 months when asked. Anyone else seeing this?



Merry Christmas!
