@grok medically speaking, how likely is this to be actual fentanyl exposure versus the officer having a panic attack due to thinking she'd been exposed?

Grok v @grok
Medically, it's far more likely a panic attack from perceived exposure than actual fentanyl toxicity.
Experts (e.g., Dr. Ryan Marino, ACMT) confirm no verified overdoses from casual skin contact or inhalation-fentanyl doesn't absorb that way quickly. Symptoms like sudden collapse match anxiety, not opioid effects (drowsiness, slowed breathing). Narcan helps but isn't needed here.

Came on Bluesky to confirm if others felt the earthquake in New York City since I no longer can rely on our post-DOGE defunded government institutions for accurate information.

ah yes stop and frisk, which was ruled unconstitutional and thus not "perfectly legal," would have for sure prevented the nevada resident from bringing his south carolina manufactured ar-15 into manhattan and the senator from louisiana is for sure in a position to decide for the residents of nyc

I don’t know why in the post Covid era year of our lord 2025 that people do not wear KN95 masks in festival porta potties. It makes it an actually tolerable experience.

The crazy thing about Ozzy Osbourne is that he was the Prince of Darkness and a progenitor of heavy metal but also a wholesome family man on a reality TV show where he couldn’t work a DVD player like every other boomer.

A creek with atomic waste from WWII is linked to increased cancer risk A new study in JAMA shows how proximity to Coldwater Creek, where nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project was improperly stored, affected cancer rates over the decades.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this raceβ€”not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Anyone who knows the history of Jews in Christian Europe AND the history of Jews in the Islamic world knows that Jews were always safer in cities governed by Muslims.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building

The carnivore diet has to be the biggest grift of the decade. A handful of attractive social media influencers w/ dubious credentials in nutrition who are very obviously paid by the meat/dairy industry or selling their own supplements convinced thousands of people that vegetables are bad for you.

This Holocaust Remembrance Day I am thinking of my great great uncle Shlomo, an autistic boy who was shot dead at his front door by the Nazis.

Genocide is the logical conclusion of the dehumanization of disabled and neurodivergent people. Have we learned nothing?

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies?

Yes, we can.

The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts:

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer.

Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

Henry VIII was one of the biggest misogynists in history but nobody talks about him that way. Six wives this, Church of England that. Yeah, he divorced or beheaded four of his wives for not bearing sons! Elon Musk gets called "world's most divorced man" but that title belongs to Henry VIII.
