Say OH

Finally, something that isn't apocalyptically depressing to write about. 

I have been testing this theory for a number of years.  I know it works. 

It just won an IgNobel prize for Medicine.

Can Sex Improve Nasal Function?—An Exploration of the Link Between Sex and Nasal Function

Nasal breathing improved significantly after sexual intercourse with climax to the same degree as after application of nasal decongestant for up to 60 minutes.

It also works backwards, if you clean and lubricate your mouth and sinuses, sex improves.  Seriously.

(on a tangent- I'm guessing this could be a trigger for hominins evolving hidden ovulation and constant sexual availability.   Bipedalism has messed up our upper respiratory system.)

Anyhow- the behavioral consequences of ignoring this phenomenon are endless. Entire medico-psycho-pharma-prison industries are built on nasal and sexual dysfunction.

And yet is is ridiculed.

This may be only thing Freud got right.

Sepsis and Cognitive Dissonance

Household name antidepressants may be helping some patients survive COVID-19.

Knowing that “cytokine storms” are associated with severe cases of Covid-19, Reiersen contacted her colleague Eric Lenze about doing a study together. The pair conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine if early use of the antidepressant fluvoxamine by Covid-19 patients could reduce severe outcomes. The researchers found that clinical deterioration occurred in 0 of 80 patients in the fluvoxamine and in 6 of 72 in the placebo group.

Now, studies in at least three countries — France, the United States, and Germany — support the idea that certain antidepressants can be an effective early treatment for Covid-19.

Ahhh  memories ...

Greetings from the Goddess Nemesis

I'm guessing he's been told he needs to have that long-infested parotid gland removed.  Looks like it's about to burst.   Seriously, I don't even have to highlight it for you.   Covid probably fucked it all up.  He looks quite ill.

He knows exactly what he's going to look like.   He's the one freaking out.

Bingo

Well how about that, I do have Kristallnacht on my card.

State of the Insanity

 The president's berserkergang broke into the seat of Congress while it was in session, urinated on the floors, and wiped feces on the walls.    Not to mention killing a police officer and attempting to find and lynch the vice president.

As I said before, when you are septic you are capable of anything.

This is the ultimate reason we need universal health and dental care:  To stop insanity.  To prevent terrorism.
