Things I actually said today: when you become a hospital manager RFK visits you in the night and gives you a brain worm to tell you that all that matters is “when is this patient discharging?”

screnshot of CNN interview with Rahm Emmanuel. You can scan a QR code "for Full interview with Rahm Emanuel"

They're calling it the least scanned QR code of all time

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

It helps me to realize that at this point, Trump sounds as dementia-ridden as any nursing home patient I’ve ever cared for.
Is it terrifying for a dementia patient to have the nuclear codes? Yes.
Is a dementia patient capable of the kind of 3d chess/kayfabe attributed to Trump? Absolutely not.

The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush.

Skibidi toilet is gen Alpha’s version of the Terry Gilliam animated bits in Monty Python and it’s kind of great, actually.

Epic needs to allow reaction gifs in chats. Imagine the beautiful chaos.

TFW you’re a nurse and you find your co-worker’s posts about how Fauci should be prosecuted.

When I am queen of the world, the author of the fucking Secret will have her entire estate seized and used to pay the medical expenses of people who thought they could manifest cancer away.

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

Whoa there yogurt!

The organization that oversees Philly’s budget is the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, or PICA. If the organization has a severe budget shortfall, is it possibly because they eat through money? 🥁

I found one of your other snarky posts about the “murdered by hospice” group on a mutuals’ timeline and felt so seen, don’t mind if I slide in here. (Am RN case manager. Made my parents give me their advance directives after my first case with a family fighting over extubation).

Sure sex is great, but have you ever seen the loopholes you you pointed out while acting as a union rep lead to actual good policy?

Truly one of the most important things I’ve had to feel out working in a hospital for the first time is which doctors are ok to swear around or joke with and which ones have sticks up their asses about professionalism and hierarchy.

Me in the national security team group chat.

Even on day today I had a case with the gnarliest, one in a million odds EMR fuckup I’ve ever seen.

Best of metafilter right here.

Severe absence of enthusiasm or dryly incredulous documentation are their own form of satisfying! I once saw documentation that a patient “needs to achieve a sane and stable cardiac regimen” and almost gasped because that’s damn near writing “what the fuck did these other doctors do?”

I love it when a doctor I like shit talks about one I do not and it confirms all my biases. One of my faves just today referred to another provider who did not understand my clear instructions as “kind of dim” and I’m gonna coast on that petty bitch energy through the weekend.

I’m peripherally acquainted with some folks in the rationalist/EA world and thought I knew just how weird it got. I had NO IDEA how deeply they were huffing their own farts until @iwriteok.bsky.social’s episode today. God damn. I am in awe.

I hope all the comments on the post were like, wtf have you done please don’t put that in your mouth.

screenshot that reads Elon Musk almost needed SFPD wellness check after ‘breakdown,’ getting booed at Dave Chappelle show ‘He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset’ that Twitter employees feared he would hurt himself, the author of a new book says about the billionaire

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.
