I'll be very interested to see where #India ends up siding in all this, because Indian foreign policy is this: (On one side, very cozy with Russia and vast majority of their military is Russian-made weapons- on other, kinda democracy with long border with China who could invade, so...)

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

Unfortunately we are stuck with JD Vance on this planet for a long time most likely because he's 40 yo and he'll be around in public life for decades. Fortunately, he's deeply unlikeable by a large majority of both parties and will never get the kind of cult of personality of FOTUS so...

I was watching a very interesting #InternalMedicine #GrandRounds while you were all watching our country make a fool of itself vis a vis Ukraine I guess. Thank god for medicine, I guess. (For all the BS sometimes, I do love my job and love IM).

Most ridiculous garbage I've ever seen from CDC - blame Asia (how many people in an outbreak in west Texas, New Mexico, and Kentucky...are Asian?) - focusing on Vitamin A for treatment (toxic in high doses) - burying fact that vaccination mainstay of prevention instead of being front and center

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Damn, caught some of the game, nail biter throughout but nice deep 3 pointer to close it out #GoBlue. Still nervous we are so dependent on sheer luck with mediocre teams but oh well

So after: - deleting ~50,000 e-mails and saving remaining ~10,000 ahead of 2 year retention/deletion policy tomorrow - attending ~15 hours of Faculty leadership meetings this month dealing with the fallout of **everything** I'm taking the night off. Time to binge Netflix Ripley (finally)

So I’m seeing that Ohio State University is not only not holding a teach in but is disbanding its DEI office, while the University of OKLAHOMA is showing some signs of resistance? Wow.

This idiot is soon going to ask my uncles, one in late 70s, one in 90s who were both federal civil/nuclear engineers to return to work because he fired all federal engineers who are 20s, smart, eager, out of college. Though they are cognitively able to do the work still, they will politely decline.

Sobering data about physician mortality. My mom fought her way out of poverty to become a physician dying at 47 yo of a rare blood cancer. “Black female physicians had higher mortality rates than all other physician subgroups and White female individuals in non–health care occupations.”
