The moment occurred at 12:34am and took him 15 hours 21 minutes to complete the race.

After more surgery and more crazy antiobiotics - seriously, those antibiotics were really rough and my guts still have trouble recovering from them - it looks like I may finally be rid of the MSRA in my residual phalanges. All remaining fingers crossed...

I went see my surgeon today to check on the wound, and I mentioned that, while it seemed to get better, the joints in my foot felt more "frozen" than usual. I mean they're not normally terribly nimble because of lack of use, but now they feel worse, and I was concerned the staph infection might be attacking the joints.

"Well, the good thing is, they don't really matter" he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Those joints are useless now. They don't help you walk."

But that's just not true! I don't have much length left, but they do help some for walking.

Also, I explained to him that, even if something is functionally useless, it doesn't mean you don't mind losing it. There is such a thing a sense of loss, and I wouldn't want whatever is still moving in my feet to stop moving, even if it doesn't impact my walking.

"Really?" he said, "I had no idea!"

The guy is supposed to be an orthopedic specialist. What the hell... Something tells me he spent too much time studying surgical techniques and not enough time wondering how the patient lives with their body...

But hey, at least he admits it when he doesn't know. That's rare enough in MDs. Also, I've had a couple brewskies with the guy and I know he's cool. So although he can be kind of infuriating at times, I'll stick with him.

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

Trump isn't "stumped": he understood the question perfectly and he's playing dumb. And then he turns to being demeaning and patronizing.

God I would slap that fucker's face so hard if I had the chance. I bet the French would like to slap his face even harder. What a terrible human being...

Dozens of companies and individual billionaires are lining up to pay for President Donald Trump’s 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom, the administration revealed Thursday.

The donors include tech giants whose leaders have dined with Trump during his second administration, including Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta Platforms.

[And unsurprisingly, those companies removed negative reviews of the demolition company tearing down the East Wing.]

Highlights:

• A night out at a rock concert changed everything for Tommy Hurrell, who made a life-altering decision after years of health struggles.
• The 20-year-old was attending a Supergrass concert with his father when he decided to amputate his leg.
• Post-surgery, Hurrell shared his journey of adjusting to life as an amputee and to “redefine his disability” on social media.
