What Is REM Behavior Disorder? REM behavior disorder is a parasomnia that is associated with sleep behaviors that occur out of REM sleep. In this state, the muscles are usually paralyzed so that dream enactment cannot occur. In some individuals, it becomes possible to act out the content of dreams as muscles are no longer adequately relaxed in REM. This is usually achieved at the level of the brainstem, but changes may lead to a failure to interrupt the signals between the sleeping brain and body....

Just six weeks ago, Biden went all-in on the issue as he delivered a fiery speech in Georgia pushing for the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. He even scrapped his view of the 60-vote filibuster to hurry the process along because the “threat to democracy is so grave.” But activists told Newsweek that’s not what they heard Tuesday as Biden devoted little of his 62-minute, 6,500-word address to voting rights....

It’s a sport that traffics in the destruction of human brains and bodies. It’s a sport that, at minimum, is eager to blame its problems on the politics of its players. It’s a sport run by an iron-fisted doofus. It’s a sport that, at least anecdotally, is in the middle of a lull in quality of play. The NFL has got a lot of problems. A lottttt of problems....

What inspired your album Velvet? I wanted it to be a love letter to the music I heard growing up. My parents had an amazing vinyl collection and so there was a lot of music from the ’70s and the early ’80s. That was the music that made me want to be a musician. How do you think music can be a force for social change? People need to summon the pride that they have in themselves and in the groups that they identify with and to fight for their rights, to be heard and to be part of the equation....

Polling and news analysis site FiveThirtyEight’s average of recent polls for the Nevada Senate contest gives Cortez Masto a 4....

The House Intelligence Committee chairman said Trump’s “incompetence” was absolute in a Monday night tweet responding to the president’s remarks at a White House coronavirus press conference. “There is no ‘reopening’ without a plan to get the virus under control and keep it that way,” the California Democrat tweeted. “Trump’s false claims of absolute power are alarming, of course. But his failure to scale up testing is unforgiveable and deadly....

Even before he contracted AIDS, Ashe, by far the outstanding black player in his traditionally lily-white sport, invited not merely admiration but contemplation. In his 1969 book “Levels of the Game,” John McPhee contrasted Clark Graebner’s game (“stiff, compact Republican tennis,” Ashe told McPhee) with Ashe’s (which had “the lackadaisical, haphazard mannerisms of a liberal,” Graebner said). So much for style revealing the inner man. In “Days of Grace,” Ashe says that although he’s a Democratic Party supporter he voted for Bush in 1988; he takes a Sowellian black conservative line on affirmative action and felt “racial embarrassment” when Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson revealed their sexual gluttony....
