Got confused there for a moment. J-Will is not who I think you're referring to.

Jalen Williams is JDub.
Jaylin Williams is J-Will

Oklahoma City Thunder watching this...

I wanted that shoe after this play #ThunderUp

One more and we're back in the NBA Finals! Way to go guys! It's so fun watching this team grow up before our eyes. Huge win tonight. #ThunderUp #NBASky

I abhor medical society meetings in the Philippines.

It's always unnecessarily long and winding.

A complete waste of time.

Narratives are pushed by the bitter sector of sports called "sore losers."

If you want your team to win, then that team has to be better.

Whining about baseless stuff like "SGA free throw merchant" is a symptom of social media stupidity creeping into sports.

#ThunderUp

I celebrate the wins of Kiko and Bam.

Still, I remain skeptical about this "pink ripple." In some respects, the Marcos machinery worked to our advantage. It's not hard to see what sort of alliances may come just to prevent another Duterte from rising to the presidency. #PhElections

Looking at all the barriers for health workers — in serving patients, teaching, doing research, providing for a family — it's no wonder being in the Philippines can be quite tiring.

Kuching is such an amazing place.

There is a method to the madness that is #PrimaryCare. Sure, we cover the same issues perennially...but it is in doing so that we gain insight, or use the time to build relationships and trust with our #patients, at their pace. #neverdull #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

Quite symptomatic of a sick, self-centered society.

Nothing here says that they won't vote for another wretched lying egotistical maniac who fits their 'us vs. them' world view.

In the Philippines, we call the same kind of people three letters: DDS.

There's a respected physician in the Philippines who posted a long essay expressing support to Duterte.

That person's justification?

Because Duterte is exactly what the Filipino people want.

What?

I think socmed algorithms are really powerful motivators to posting shit opinions in public.

Yup. Been looking at this map since he first said that he'll go after Canada and Greenland.

Geography matters.

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember.

This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

They should all be counting their days in office.

Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested last night and sent to the Hague.

We still have a long way to go before we can truly heal as a nation. The damage that his regime caused to our democracy is still evident.

Too many blind followers
Too many blind believers
Too many fooled by his false bravado.

If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.

Americans, don't let your citizens fall for the lethargy that many who have lived in decades of suffocating impunity and paralyzing poverty have grown used to.

This is the correct way to save your country. Reclaim reality on the ground and force people away from their phones.

I have a Mastercard. So I guess no spending that day even for me, here in the Philippines.

Anything that I can to help the world avoid f***ing WW3.

I was 12 years old.
You cannot erase history.
You cannot make us forget.

A consequential "nonsense" that this drunk said?

Marcos Sr. is a hero.

It's a lie, swallowed hook line and sinker by Filipinos who spend much time watching YT videos and following influencers

Marcos Jr. was then elected

Soc med dismembered our chance to heal from being the sick man of Asia

Then it led to the reversal of everything the 1986 EDSA revolution stood for.

It became a curse to be "yellow," the color that symbolized liberal values.

The Filipino people were fooled by Duterte's easy, grandiose, "relatable" solution.

Everybody had a drunk father-figure spouting nonsense.

The story is more interesting when fleshed out. We had our own "Obama" who lasted 2010-2016.

We all know what happened in 2016 worldwide, right?

In the Philippines, Duterte was elected in a flurry of outrage trolling, false information, and reactionary forces riding anti-establishment sentiments.

39 years ago, the Philippines kicked out Ferdinand Marcos Sr., a dictator, in what was dubbed as a 'bloodless revolution.'

2025 we are still at the mercy of Dutertismo and Marcos Jr.'s campaign to rehabilitate their name.

We're called the soc med capital of the world. Look where it got us.

One of the unexpected (?) effects of the US's far right turn is that it threw into sharp relief what it means to elect such a government, especially for Germany.

It also makes the center-right look good with Merz saying stuff sane people would expect to hear from sane politicians.

Let's see.

Almost all, I think? There is always something related to palliative care being shown. Since it's an ER drama, the most striking are the episodes with depictions of end-of-life care and the difficult conversations that often precede it.

Palliative care values and methods often take a backseat in medical dramas.

I appreciate The Pitt for being wonderful in depicting what we do for patients.

Never underestimate a man who senses his own time coming.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”
