Thank you - I'll do this for journal club in November, and also go over what we ACTUALLY do.

Counterpoint: Saying it at all means he shouldn't have a platform larger than a streetcorner. Perhaps he could say it to their faces.

Bradford-Hill criteria - I'm always suspicious of associations found in observational studies when there's no plausible biochemical mechanism.

Yo. Democrats. Remember how Obama showed you a new way to bring hope to your base and get them to vote in droves? Here's the (new) new way. Get with the program or get out of politics (this is not a demand, but a prediction).

I think that's my favorite series because Sam Vimes feels like Terry scanned my personality and said "that'll do". Witches probably second for me (headology being half of what I do now)...oh dang it I need a Terry discussion group

In Thud! where Vimes is trapped under Koom Valley with the Summoning Dark and still manages to read "Where's My Cow" to young Sam...I'm an ER doc who missed a lot of kid's stuff and felt this in my bones. But Carcer is amazing, the elves are great villains, the witches are perfect, etc etc

We teach medical students not to speak in jargon now, and to adapt their patient discussions to the patient's level of medical literacy. It's not that difficult.

These terms will continue to be used in academic writing (because they are useful), and the right will continue to demonize that. Pretending the Democrats are the problem here is similar to blaming a mailbox because a drunk high school kid hit it with a bat.

Yup. Farmers and artisans that built their own tools. Soldiers with trapdoor breechblock rifles, and mud, and dysentery. Surgeons without anesthetic, or antiseptic. The barbarians are tearing down the city walls, but the city will rise again.

Newsom Signs California Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Republicans

This is called 'counterpunching' and it is the only thing a bully responds to.

I'm glad he lost the primary. I'd vote for Mamdani in the general. But if it was between Cuomo and Silwa? I'd hold my nose. That's how I feel about Newsom. Fight like a dog to keep him from winning the primary. Between him and Vance/Cruz/Miller etc? I'd hold my nose.
