Schumer, Jeffries, get your asses out there and stop talking about “reform”

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

Often the patients are misinformed and think it means we are “giving up” on them, for that reason our palliative care group will use the term “supportive care”. I reference the NEJM paper on metastatic lung cancer with longer and better survival in patients referred to palliative care on diagnosis

My favorite version of the song is Warren G's.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

An NNT of 33 leads to an NTN (number treated needlessly) of 32/33 =0.97 or 97%, an example given in article

Confessions of an Ex-Anti-Vaxxer - Macleans.ca I spent years spouting conspiracy theories about vaccines. Now, as measles rages in my home of Alberta, I’m trying to convince vax-hesitant parents to inoculate their kids.

If vaccines made doctors rich, pediatricians wouldn’t be the lowest-paid in medicine. They chose kids over higher salaries their classmates earn elsewhere.

Important read if you have children & concerns about vaccines. Or just want to know….

It’s a gift article.

When people say, “do your own research,” they generally mean, “google it.” They generally do NOT mean, “conduct an independent, ethical, peer reviewed study.” I would love if we spent more time differentiating between “research as knowledge production” and “research as knowledge consumption.”

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

RFK Jr & his MAGA crew will turn the United States into a vaccine desert

Americans have to wake up to this terrifying reality and push back

🧵👇

📣 TL:DR Incidence stable, prevalence rising, improved survival for ILD & IPF over 10 years.
Numbers much higher than prior reports for ILD & IPF.

I’ve been saying Black folks should stay home. So why did I go to the No Kings protest?

Because our Latino brothers and sisters need us right now. Because I live in the occupied city of LA.

But here’s what I know: when large groups of Black folks protest, we become the target.

I miss the days of going to bed at night and falling asleep, without tossing and turning over the horrific government actions of the day.

I miss the mornings of waking up and looking forward to my coffee and not a new assault on American human rights.

I miss this man.

Martin Kulldorff & @MartinKu...•9/10/23 S.•• "One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler .. In some ways, the U.S. government.. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" - @HRaleighspeaks

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Google searches for information about cancer lead to targeted ads from alternative clinics Alternative cancer clinics spent over an US$15 million on Google ad spaces, generating millions of website visits from people searching for cancer information.

New piece out on research with @marcozenone.bsky.social

"Google is enabling an advertising option that contributes to the harmful spread of inaccurate and damaging cancer misinformation."
