A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

I'm so ready for spring. This started as light snow, morphed into sleet, & now switching to freezing rain. Ugh!!!

Yep. Lost at least 2 really good coworkers this afternoon simply because they had been with us less than a year. Sucks.

So today,... Two extremely qualified coworkers, who happened to be employed by 'us' for less than 1 year, but who had done their jobs well, were informed by email at about 2:30 on Friday afternoon that they were being 'let go' for cause. I'm going to miss working with them both.

Got my annual influenza vaccination mid September. Got COVID (a very mild case) at the end of September. Got my COVID booster mid January this year. Have had annual Flu vaccinations every year since 1996. Ask me when was the last bad case of flu I had. Thinking about a shingles vaccine.

I'm way too old (probably) at this point to participate effectively, but make med-school free & I just might take that path. I love the idea of being a GP for an underserved population.

A sad moment from my workday yesterday. A long term coworker & friend who happens to be gay recently became our group's supervisor. He spent part of his day going around the building removing diversity & equity signage. He felt he was being erased. I honestly didn't have a useful response.

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

Some of the cognitive dissonance on "X" this morning is simultaneously confusing and astounding. Especially some of the rhetoric on DEI stuff.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Nicely done.
