NBD just got to meet @redistrict.bsky.social in real life. I’ve seen enough!

He’s wrong about the gender gap…Claudia Goldin won the Economics “Nobel” showing that the gender pay gap persists despite correction for hours worked (actually we already knew that and her work is much more interesting). Thank you @profgalloway.com for pushing back a bit on DEI in private companies!

Claudia Goldin ’67 wins Nobel Prize in Economics | Cornell Chronicle Goldin’s research has revealed the reasons for gender gaps in labor force participation and earnings. She is the third woman to win the economics Nobel, and the first to win it individually rather tha...

Listening to Sam Harris on @profgalloway.com ‘s podcast mentioning that the gender wage gap disappears when controlled for hours worked…for a guy paid to think out loud, you’d think he’d heard of work done by Nobel Laureate Claudia Goldin disproving this very thing! news.cornell.edu/stories/2023...

Excited to visit Senator Wyden’s office in Washington, DC, to discuss the importance of supporting physicians and patients! #LEGCON25

You forgot to mention she resigned in protest in January after you killed her cartoon about your plutocrat owner.

Heard there’s a doc caucus rally on the Capitol steps on Wednesday??

Generally completely agree that it’s super accurate! But they killed me with their AWFUL depiction of an anesthesiologist in ep 12. My colleagues and I love this show and that one hurt

I was so excited to see anesthesia represented in this show bc they’ve done everything so well and then they GUTTED me with their rep of an anesthesiologist. Great episode but that fucking hurt. All the other specialties are shown as at least competent. Off topic but yeah can’t stop thinking abt it

Was so excited to see anesthesia represented in a show that so far has done everything right. Absolutely gutted that they chose this otherwise INCREDIBLE episode to slam anesthesia. Maybe no one else noticed, but fuck that one hurt.

Off topic but truly gutted by the depiction of an anesthesiologist in this ep. My anesthesia colleagues and I love this show for its accuracy and it was depressing to see anes once again denigrated. I was so excited to see anes be treated w/ the respect the show has shown other specialties.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

The scary part: that I don’t feel like I can trust anything coming out of the CDC

Thank god that our legacy media isn’t yet entirely captured (side eye @washingtonpost.com [yes I know the newsroom is—so far—independent and doing great work, but can you blame me?])

Meanwhile, they heap opprobrium on our trans friends who are just trying to “play by society’s basic rules.” Turnabout is fair play?

Just because you “sincerely believe” that being gay will get you a ticket straight to hell or that a woman’s place is in the home doesn’t automatically justify that belief! Newsflash: some of these beliefs ARE abhorrent and deserve opprobrium

Republican Refers to Sarah McBride, Transgender Congress Member, as a Man Representative Keith Self of Texas insisted on calling Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, “Mr. McBride,” and adjourned the session when challenged about it.

I applaud Representative McBride for responding by misgendering the Chair and moving on. While the Democrat who stood up for her was definitely in the right, I wonder if she would have preferred to register her small act of displeasure and continue with business.

Ok this is great

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Well. I held on when Bezos pulled the endorsement. “The journalists shouldn’t suffer for this.” But now @karaswisher.bsky.social says the journalists are fleeing the sinking ship so I feel less bad about this. I had hoped Bezos could have used some of his billions to buy a spine.

Nothing runs like a Deere

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

“If you can keep it” looking increasingly unlikely.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Trump Considers Paving Grass at White House Rose Garden to Match Mar-a-Lago The president has been discussing plans to rip up the grass in one of the White House’s most iconic locations and put in a hard surface to serve as a patio like the one at his Florida home and club.

Besides this just being another sign of us being in the dumbest, darkest timeline, a “patio” would be even more miserable for journalists et al for summer announcements than the grass. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...

lol nope.

Welfare for me but not for thee.

@tinakotek.bsky.social you up?
