Terrifying. I was a caregiver for a few years in my early 20s and I’m scared shitless about getting a disease like this when I’m older. They cause so much pain for everyone involved. Thank you researchers & other smart people trying to find a cure.

It’s also called “perseveration”, when the patient asks the same question over and over and over again, despite having asked it just a few moments ago. My dad does this a lot. Sometimes it seems like I’ve just finished the answer when he asks me again.

My dad died from a form of Parkinson’s that was at first misdiagnosed as LBD. It is a horrifying illness to watch unfold, but for Dad, who was a physician, it must have been absolutely terrifying.

DAMMIT. My dad was just diagnosed with “either Parkinsons’s with dementia or LBD, time will tell”, so I’ve been reading up on them all week. Had never heard of LBD previously. Hate hearing how fast it came on for Williams, while he was still so young. What a waste of a wonderful mind.

Seconded. My mother had early-onset Alzheimer’s, and it’s horrific.

It’s like they can’t get over she’s a hot chick and the way they used her showed it.

Why are inner lip tattoos a thing? I know they’ve been around for a while, but I still don’t understand them. They always look like your cousin’s sketchy friend did it for you in his garage.

I remember watching Robin Williams last show and thinking there was something off with him. Reading this explains what I was seeing.

Margot Robbie was very underused.

How absolutely horrible for Robin Williams and his wife. I cannot even begin to imagine. Can we please find a fucking cure for Alzheimer’s and the like already?!

At first glance, I read that as “in which I pet kittens and philosophers”. Sure, it makes *more sense* upon a second read, but the mental image is far less entertaining. Nietzsche curled up & getting scratched under the chin is easily the imaginative highlight of my morning.

He’s the one that cheated on Jennifer.

Yes, you’re now educated enough to make sensible clothing choices that won’t inflame the male sexing urges, you won’t flounce around like a floozy in speakeasies or make flirty, dirty, smutty remarks from your heavily painted soft moist lips. Yes, a smart girl. A decent girl.

My girlfriend from grad school was in the top 5% of our class and was about to be promoted to a Fortune 100 vice-presidency when (we believe) she was killed by her husband.

If Brad yelling at one of the children is “abusive” then what Angie is doing is also abusive, in a worse way.

THIS.

I’m a feminist. I believe in believing women about abuse. I believe Brad Pitt lost his temper on a flight (at least once) and acted in a manner that meets the definition of “abuse.” Pitt and “sources close to him” haven’t been able to muster a denial, which tells me there’s not nothing to see. I believe that Angelina…

Sidepiece? (dismissive but unisex)

If Kelly had privately been arguing with Pugh, then I would agree. But she made it public in hopes that her fans or her family’s fans would harass Pugh.

I am guessing Jolie has caught the recent headlines of all the tabloids. The ones calling her “the ex-wife from hell” and outlining “Jolie’s plan to destroy Brad.” The papers are not being kind to her in any way. And this is her trying to spin control this.
