Many Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s accounting for years, but they have never gained much traction – until now. Today, the Financial Times has released a new report pointing to a $1.4 billion gap in assets.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I just want to say that 1) “Everything is Tuberculosis” is a great read and highly recommended especially as we stand at the precipice of a potential new, terrible age for TB but also 2) did anyone else notice that the book Jacket is an AFB stain with TB?? #MedSky

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

RSV and Influenza are running rampant and they cause severe disease and even death in very small infants. I have seen Influenza cause myocarditis and heart failure in healthy teens. The flu vaccine reduces your chances of serious illness and death.

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births. Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies. This will kill people.

This will hurt kids and families so severely, that I’m terrified of what this will result in for my and my colleagues’ patients And as someone brand new to this world of pediatrics I’m sort of at a loss for how we can advocate for our patients. #PedSky

A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.

This is a fascinating article, and a reminder that TB is caused by impoverishment as much as it's caused by bacteria.

Hey, so… deep sigh C’mere. You know you don’t have to like the new Superman trailer. You don’t even have to see the movie if you don’t want to. But don’t try to stomp out joy when it buds for others. (Psst: that makes you the bad guy.)

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

When talking about climate change I’ve started to incorporate a quick physical explanation on the basics before getting into it, like “CO2, a molecule that absorbs heat like a black t-shirt,…” or “carbon dioxide, which is opaque to infrared light,…”

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public. 101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

The National Labor Relations Act guarantees the right of private sector employees to organize. Billionaires and corporations are just brazenly using a compromised judiciary to attempt to legislate from the bench and overturn democratic institutions.

I need to vent for just a second. I know RFK Jr would be bad for health for thousands of reasons. But I am unusually pissed by people who are saying "He is going to finally clean up the nutrition in our food & our schools!" Michele Obama already did that and they gave her hell about it for YEARS

I remember reusing N95s and wearing trash bags as PPE. I remember a refrigerated truck sitting in the hospital parking lot as a makeshift morgue because ours was overflowing. But I mostly remember the public downplaying and ignoring COVID, because Trump did.

People who talk about how Bluesky is tiny compared to Threads have not spent time on them both. That’s like saying a suburb of Dallas has more people than Minneapolis. Maybe, but they’re not the same thing!

My only comment here is that his point that Laura resigning at the same time Trump and his ilk can say anything, no matter how loathesome, is a good one.

People who oppose dental fluoridation are literally wrong. It is not toxic. The US removes more fluoride from water than it adds. We need to stop pretending there is another side to this topic. There are the facts and there are uninformed conspiracy nuts who choose not to believe scientific evidence

Hello new friends! Have a look at Messier 13. Visible to the naked eye, if the sky is dark enough. Edmund Halley spotted it in 1714 and wrote “This is but a little Patch, but it shews it self to the naked Eye, when the Sky is serene and the Moon absent.” Which, same. Image: ESA/Hubble, NASA
