Very cool look at how doctors build solutions to improve care.

I imagine that John’s return will see him simply staring directly into the camera, not saying a word. Perhaps a face or neck twitch here and there. I worry that 2026 may have already broken him. I hope I am wrong.

Someday, historians will look back and marvel at how stupidly easy it was for one demented sociopath to take the world's most powerful democratic country by the throat and burn everything in or around it to the ground while we all just sat around and watched.

Bruce Arthur: Donald Trump’s reaction to Rob Reiner’s death is vile, even for him The U.S. president's social media post hits a celestial level of narcissism, and is another implicit call to political violence.

One reason Rob Reiner’s death was so shocking is that he was a living embodiment of a gentle, righteous, kind humanity. Trump’s reaction, meanwhile, was an embodiment of his inhumanity, vile as it is. We all get to choose which one we would want to be. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

Rob Reiner’s response to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Compare this to Trump’s vile post about the deaths of Rob and his wife, Michele.
