Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to enroll in ICE.

Wondering why there's such a fuss about pushing some #vaccine recommendations to "shared clinical decision making"? The term is being conflated with "informed consent," suggesting it's about empowering parents. This isn't that; good take here. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/shared-dec...

The government of the United States has illegally invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader.

We need to all turn out in opposition to this egregious failure of our government, and stop it.

I agree. Also, at my hospital our coders will nag us three months later if we select diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis without also including the ICD10 code for either alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence. As if they’re confused about whether the alcoholic cirrhosis was caused by alcohol.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Congratulations on not reading the article.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Since mayors don’t have running mates, this is an exciting innovation; have eleventy jillion votes.

Oh shit!

I don’t know how to adequately express how this makes me feel, so I’m gonna do a thread here of jokes that only a human, specifically the human that I am, with the brain I have and the life I’ve lived could have written. Here we go!

This story was compassionate, well written, thoroughly researched, and free of dogma, the best thing I’ve read in a newspaper in some time.

Q Who, when Q hauls the Enterprise D way way far out, and they meet the Borg for the first time.

Twitter *was* good for that five or ten years ago, but now maybe nothing is?

Practicing in rural New Mexico, a previously healthy patient who suddenly needs an ICU, and has thrombocytopenia as only finding on workup, would make me think of hantavirus, except they need intubation and then ECMO, not pressors.

Thank you for all that you do.

There’s two political spectra in this country: public opinion and elite opinion. Political terminology, like “centrist” or “progressive,” is defined in DC by reference to elite opinion, which is much more economically conservative than popular opinion is.

We bought a real molcajete, thinking the ones on the shelves right now are cheaper than the tariffed ones will be in a few weeks.

TSP, the federal equivalent of 401k, doesn’t give me that option. I pulled out of US equities and into a three way split of the TSP index funds for treasuries, corporate bonds, and foreign stocks. Here’s hoping that holds up.

Hey thanks! I’d read “The Marching Morons” as a kid, seen Idiocracy, and understood that both were pretty unsavory and eugenicist, but it’s very nice to have this concise essay laying out what’s wrong with them.

Me too! Good luck with whatever’s coming next.

🚨 Jimmy Carter now eligible for congressional leadership position

The Monster at the End of this Explanation of Benefits

1. Dems had no contingency plan for Biden dropping out.

2. Should politicians earn people's votes by improving their lives? No: elections are won by correct messaging.

3. Not only must Harris never be criticized, but it's almost disrespectful to say her name; "the vice president" is preferred.

Thoughts?

Good questions, which the authors ought to have answered, or at least cited the answers to, in the introduction or methods section.

That’s terrible. I’m sorry that happened to him.
