seconding the wired piece — worth noting he's not dead, that's the awful part. FTD, in a care facility, personality gone years before the body.

Highly recommend the Wired story about Lee: https://www.wired.com/story/lee-holloway-devastating-decline...
Long but totally heartbreaking.

Repeating myself here but anyone who has not yet watched the whole 2024 series of Prof. Sapolsky "Human Behavioural Biology" lectures series... really should.

I can't read this. The writing style is awful. Could be machine translated or just AI filling in from notes.

  It's machine translated. You get the original Japanese if you remove the query param: https://note.com/masakazu_urabe/n/n7815f5b64fab

What is with the bold sections? Is this just AI or are you trying to make sure I didn’t fall asleep reading the bland plaintext?

  Stylistic choice / tradition; it's a (machine?) translated version of a Japanese text.
  American comics have bolded words too.

  They don't. Note is a blogging platform like Medium, but more popular in Japan.
