Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

The reason why older generations burnt the shit out of their meat and boiled the shit out of their vegetables, was your kid died if you didn't. Medium rare steaks and roasted Brussels sprouts are a side effect of an intact food safety infrastructure

I think a lot about how COVID-19 was sold as an "individual responsibility," an approach which got over a million people killed but that the culture still accepted. Following that P.R. success, they're eager to say every illness is your fault.

He’s gone. Infection also found in abdomen after amputation of leg. Day 4 of missed sepsis dx. I rage catered dinner for his family when they got back from saying goodbye. My BFF is now a widow at 50 yo. 😔

The “male loneliness epidemic” is self-imposed & deserved. Your feelings are not valid. They’re rooted in self-hatred & misogyny because you’re a wuss who needed validation from toxic predators because you never learned how to handle rejection or you don’t care that women are human beings.

Britain wakes up every day, aims the gun at its feet and pulls the trigger. Just a prolonged exercise in meanspiritedness and self-harm.

Good news! Despite dying on the table for 3 mins my friend has pulled through debridement stage 1 (of 2) surgery. Is on full life support to give failing organs a chance to recover equilibrium. 48 hours of induced coma before a second debridement attempt. No VAC machine dressing available as yet.

Fast forward to midnight…. My friend is in multi organ failure and their only chance is a lower limb amputation - but only if their failed heart survives the op (and the surgeons decide to take the chance) #FUCKSEPSIS

I can’t believe how an entire acute ward’s worth of Doctors and nurses missed sepsis in my friend today. They recognised his cellulitis (& thank gawd started him on IV Flucloxacillin) but failed to spot other Sepsis symptoms. It took an Orthopod on second viewing to act to send to ICU…

Does the last Pope get to come off the bench now? Ratzinger is still alive? (But perhaps dementia has set in?)
