Gutting Alzheimer's research. First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru... See also... newrepublic.com/article/1917... See also... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This comes up sometimes Do fully vaccinated healthcare workers need a mask with measles patients? YES. Health workers should wear a fit tested N95 respirator with suspected or known measles patients (or for 2 hours after the patient left a room) www.cdc.gov/infection-co...

We’ve become a global attention economy wherein eyeballs are the currency.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Thoughtful thread. There really are some head scratcher ‘norms’ out there wrt IVF’s

the echo/ECG pendulum has swung in a weird way I’m seeing patients with multiple echo/POCUS exams & zero ECGs any ICU patient with a heart should get an admit ECG will be trying to emphasize ECGs a bit to balance this out (IMHO the apex skill is bedside integration of POCUS + ECG + CXR) #EMIMCC

To everyone's surprise, it turns out that attaching a money-sucking machine to a hospital system makes it worse.

Watched The Last Word - Lawrence O’Donnell got a fascinating and smart as hell final Presidential interview of Joe Biden. My expectations were limited but it was like sitting around the dinner table asking all the stuff you’d actually want to talk about. Joe Biden has so much depth. O’Donnell too.

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:

Oralè Resister LA Fires: who you going to call? Mexico! #MexicanFireBusters Mexican pilots, Mexican FireFighting Helicopters and Mexican Firefighters on the ground. All here to help Angelinos Save lives and homes. Thank you Mexico! #LAFire #MexicoHelpsLA

"After this week we’ll likely see a rise in defensively designed homes. This is an interesting example of one of the few houses in LA that survived the fires thanks to smart passive design choices (and some luck)." H/T Josh Rincon

Those tanker planes dropping water in LA are Canadian and being flown by Canadian pilots with balls bigger than Terrorist Trumps diapers. 🫄🍊 💩 ✈️ 🫡 🇨🇦

An interesting study of gaps between “healthspan” (yrs of healthy life) & “lifespan” across the globe. Takeaway: the US has amongst the largest gaps, despite relatively low lifespan. And women in the US have even bigger gaps. 🛟🩺🧪😷 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Fascinating to see the internal conflict between profit and public health discussed so cogently on CNBC At least they came up with some noon-odious conclusions Heya. Thanks for the post Alyssa MacKenzie 💜‬ ‪@alyssamackenzie.bsky.social‬

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

The elephant in the middle of the room is that MAGA is an anti-education movement. Muscular, belligerent mediocrity is the MAGA brand. Tell Vivek the call is coming from inside the house. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Riveting and substantive discussion between two big thinkers. Each w the rare gift of boiling down complex observations to create real conversation. Put it on as background for a long listen as you do a daily task.

Lololol

Well that’s fascinating. A new variable enters the climate conversation.

Great little thread.

Wow. Amazing how Buddhist poets over 2000 years ago perfectly anticipated social media

How is he proclaimed by some the smartest dude in the world when he consistently fucks up glp1 agonists with glp1 inhibitors. Those two things are NOT the same and he is referring to glp1 AGONISTS

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

So when can we talk about all the CEOs wanting security while simultaneously ER nurses continue to get assaulted daily
