Throughly enjoyed Alex Garland’s #CivilWar (& certainly more than critics and online reviewers) Kirsten Dunst, Jessie Plemons in novelty sunglasses being evil, two Suicide records, and a real Last Days of Hitler vibe at the end. Good stuff

Musk is a venture capitalist, not a scientist. VCs invest in young companies solving big problems, grow them, & exit with huge profits. The US won’t see growth, yet Musk will profit. America didn’t ask for his investment, and will get despotism as their share of the deal. PS The book below is good

“Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes,” Timothy W. Ryback writes in a step-by-step account:

RCP elections coming up Recently, the College has been aimless & adrift; I resigned from the editorial board of one of its journals in protest. I'm confident that @drlkvaughan.bsky.social for CVP and @drasifqasim.bsky.social for PRCP will right its course #TimeForChange www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-med...

I wrote a thread about #NHS productivity from my pov of 20yrs clinical experience & no policy knowledge I linked to stuff from the ONS & FT, but when it came down to it: - clinicians are the productivity "talent" - Tom Cruise never had to be the leading man, key grip, & gaffer on any of his movies

So is the forthcoming decline of America going to be most similar to an ancient civilisation vanishing like the Mayans or Easter Island, or the regression of an empire like the Austro-Hungarians or the USSR? Either way it’s going to be fascinating to see what happens

Pet peeve (that on xshitter would have provoked a pile on): Resident doctors should not be referring to themselves in notes by their initials ie WR JS where it's IMT1 John Smith doing the ward round I certainly never refer to myself in the notes as TO or equivalent

Just watched American Hustle. Nice movie So apart from The Godfather, its own part 2, Casino & Goodfellas what are the best #mafia movies? I like Carlito's Way, The Untouchables (cos they came out when I was impressionably young) & Gomorrah You?

I am currently reviewing a paper which makes some extravagant and illogical claims about digital twins. However, I don't want to dismiss the paper because of this. Is there a serious critical analysis of the potential of DTs that can be recommended?

A problem I foresee with the use of LLMs & AI scribes in medicine (yes, I realise it's a frivolous one) is how verbose and therefore boring and heart sinky they are to read. No one wants to wade through pointless adjectives and adverbs and clunky sentences to get to the referral reason/diagnosis etc
