#ElonMusk, the world's richest person, who oversees #Neuralink & spent >$250M to help elect #Trump, has been leading the effort to cut govt workers w/ #DOGE. Thousands have been cut.

The #FDA firings last week included about 20 people in its office of #neurological & #physical #MedicalDevices several of whom worked on Neuralink…. It is not known if all of the fired workers reviewing Neuralink have received the return offer.

Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years

I went for a walk while the sun was very bright and I ended up with blind spots. But the blind spots didn’t go away. They grew and grew until I realized I could only see half a person walking toward me on the path. Then the blind spots turned into a high intensity halogen strobe light show of a brightness that I haven’t experienced in about twenty years. It’s mostly gone now, thank goodness. Around 2000, I was afflicted with this across about 75% of my vision 24/7. It is utterly debilitating. Sure glad this one acted more like a migraine warning than my usual chronic scintillating scotoma. #migraine #neurological #ScintillatingScotoma #vision #InvisibleDisability reviewofoptometry.com/article/
