we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Remarkable moment yesterday, where @sanders.senate.gov grilled the current NIG Director on the continued nonsense linking vaccines to autism

He either forgot his talking points or couldn’t live with the moral injury any longer because he said the truth: there isn’t a link.

What an awesome story!

How a Little Village farm is reviving prairie land in Chicago: buff.ly/Oca8lpX

While being celebrated, Derrick Rose gave back to the city that raised him • The TRiiBE After a week of giving back to the fans and youth, Derrick Rose will be honored by the Chicago Bulls, who plan to retire his jersey next season.

Derrick Rose has had one helluva retirement rollout in Chicago this week.

He gave out flowers to thousands of fans at Rose’s Flower Shop, launched a new garden pollination initiative in his native Englewood and played his last basketball game with his son at Simeon.

Lots of other pollinators though, so I am happy!

Love it! I seem to be in a corridor that doesn’t get any, or just don’t have the right mix of native plants.

S/F ratio is very simple to use and at a surprisingly high level predicts when a patient with sickle cell is likely to go to the ICU due to ACS.

Labor of love here, with so much with to do, but very glad to have it out in the world to discuss!

In sickle cell we have moved more towards calling it “transformative therapy” which I think patients and their families respond really well to.

Today is #WorldSickleCellDiseaseDay.

Sickle cell disease affects millions, but too many still face delayed diagnosis and limited access to care. Today, ASH raises awareness and invites you to be part of the progress. 🧵👇

I am sure there is more . . . Feedback, ideas?

Most importantly no provider would ignore pain.

I think we would be able to help patients get individualized care that for their lifestyle - with some taking the risks of gene therapy for a cure and others having a full range of oral and IV therapies to manage symptoms.

I think if that had happened we would be able to better prognosticate many different complications.

I spent some time thinking about what it would mean to have had a full complement of support and funding for sickle cell for many decades.

It’s gorgeous!

Two purple flowers hang from a green vine intertwined on a black fence.

Took a leap of faith and planted the native wisteria frutescens in my tiny little semi shaded garden in Chicago. So far it seems happy! And the huge purple flowers make me happy.

Thank you for sharing. I will send these out to our fellows!

What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. It affects us all.

Nobody can later say they weren't warned, again and again.

Wow, that’s awesome!

Violin worth $10,000 stolen on CTA train in the Loop Authorities say a man stole a custom-made violin about 9 p.m. Friday night on a Blue Line train near 117 W. Lake St. No one is in custody.

Shocking: Yet another headline about violins on the CTA. It's time for the transit agency to bring back train conductors!

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

MAHA is a fraud. Lead is a neurotoxin and they are abandoning children being poisoned

Trump seeks to end climate research at premier U.S. climate agency White House aims to end NOAA’s research office; NASA also targeted

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

@caseybmulligan.bsky.social how is the economy today? Is your work paying off?

I am all for universal healthcare. But, let’s be honest about what it is and make it fair for everyone :)

And, interestingly, I recently learned that some states get $3x more per RVU than a lot of us blue states. So we aren’t just less represented but we are also paying for their medical care.
