It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

So hey. I'm reading through some of the public comments, and there aren't that many, tbh.. And some of them are in *support* of repealing regulations/making everyone choke on their big-truck air. Your voice *definitely* matters here.

Help Save Library Materials from Being Restricted The Ohio House of Representatives and Senate have passed the state’s biannual budget. And if you follow the news, you may have heard that the legislature is proposing cuts to the Public Library Fund —...

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

I had lunch at 10am today. My body is apparently needing to fuel probably the 314 mychart messages I responded to over the course of the past few weeks.

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

When the MOCA Peds question doesn’t even follow the guideline it references ☹️

Yes that is exactly true. They actually are pretty profitable for the owners even when they have losing season after losing season.

It’s exasperating. They have a beautiful park and sports crazy fan base and the owners just don’t care.

The Pirates never try to have a winning season on purpose.

Medical tech hasn’t solved that I have to write a letter to fax to a pharmacy to discontinue a patient’s medication instead of being able to send an electronic discontinue order. So maybe we could work on stuff like that before deciding that AI is the next big thing in medicine.

on this date eight years ago, Tom Holland wowed Zendaya on Lip Sync Battle with his cultural critique of impervious surface stormwater runoff.

Ok Pittsburgh, is it North Side or The North Side?

Tired of this respiratory season. Home with a sick child again only to go in this afternoon to see patients to accrue more work I won’t have the time to chart on or have time to follow up labs on. And also covering a colleague’s inbox. And on call. 🫠

I don’t think I’ve paid for a bank account in my entire life, even when I was living paycheck to paycheck. Or loan payment to loan payment as the case may be.

They were not good questions. 😒

Whew this was a rough quarter.

I’m unsure if this is serious or in jest but either way the answer is no
