I’m curious why Casey Means actually quit in *year 5* of ENT residency. Like I get burning out and leaving medicine to own a bakery or something, but the stated reason is bc she wanted to treat the “root cause” of disease? What? ENT gotta be top 10 in specialties that cure disease. It’s surgery.

This one goes in my quote book: "And I'm like, what do you mean, you 'do your own research'? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?"

FACT CHECK: TRUE

Probably hospital employees understand this. I just did the latest required education online. The audio and closed captions don’t work. It’s a known problem for at least 10 years. Passed! Sigh.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will end a mortgage rescue plan that has saved many veterans from needlessly losing their homes, the move could strand thousands of others who need help.

Just learned that the entire division of blood disorders at the CDC was put on administrative leave or terminated effective immediately. The people who figured out HIV was infecting people through the blood supply. What could possibly go wrong?

Sadism never exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by sociopathy/psychopathy (ASPD). ALWAYS.

🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Due process is at the very heart of the legal system. Without due process we have nothing. I pray that Judge Boasberg's actions will be upheld.

Camping is fun, except I don’t care for the bugs and prefer to be inside. Ate bacon, chewed my favorite antler, made a friend.

JB’s Shrimp Shack, Brunswick GA. Solid, unpretentious southern coastal goodness.

Same thing the big German companies did in the 1930’s. As Liz Cheney so memorably said, someday Trump will be gone but their dishonor will remain.

It’s time to get angry.

As Trump slashes programs for regular folks (because “wE’rE BroKe”) he is insisting on spending billions on a crypto strategic reserve which will only help enrich himself and his oligarch donors. A heist in broad daylight.
