Looks like I’m not the first person to notice AI logos are cheesy-ass slop Or… cheesy ass-slop? velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

Another PSA from a Board Certified medical professional: It’s never a good idea to take medical advice from someone who can’t even SPELL the thing they’re advising you against #medsky #provaccine #hhs

Only those victimized by clinical research will understand

Plot Point: OXYGEN Your evil genius could incapacitate (or kill) your characters without them realizing it by lowering the oxygen (ie increasing the nitrogen) concentration in a room Dial it down: they pass out Dial it all the way down: game over #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #gamedev #booksky

3yo: look, i drew a picture! It’s me and mommy and 6yo Me: oh, where am I? 3yo: you’re sleeping #nightshift

Based on how the sequel turned out, my hopes are low for the prequel But will I buy it? Oh yes! #boondocksaints #booksky #filmsky collider.com/boondock-sai...

In another asinine move, HHS is removing the ability for undocumented immigrants to access primary care at many community health centers …even if they have insurance This will force people to go to the most EXPENSIVE place possible to get their care — the ER www.visaverge.com/news/hhs-off...

Every morning around 6am when I’m driving home from a night shift, there’s an old, bearded man picking up litter on his daily walk before the rest of the city is awake. He doesn’t have a title It’s not a line on his resumé He’s just out there making the world a better place. Be that man.

Hey look! Now there is objective evidence that PRIVATE EQUITY IS LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE PE Hospitals: 18% cut in ED and 16% cut in ICU spending > 13% increase in DEATH Efficiency comes at the expense of resiliency Healthcare should NEVER be for profit hms.harvard.edu/news/deaths-... #medsky

If you think Tylenol is bad for kids, wait until I tell you about assault rifles

PSA from a Board Certified medical professional: It’s never a good idea to take medical advice from someone who can’t pronounce the thing they’re advising you against #medsky

I ran a code on a 2 month old last night. I hereby request that anyone on RFK’s vaccine panel should be required to have experienced the visceral reality of resuscitating a lifeless infant before they take away access to lifesaving vaccines. #medsky #provaccines #mmr #vaccinate #hhs

Plot Point: MULTIPLE VICTIMS Imagine the emotional impact and moral injury of your character if they’re first on scene to a mass casualty accident Who do you care for first? Who gets transported? Who lives? Who dies? Tons of drama and internal conflict #writing #scriptsky #gamedev #booksky

Avocado Avocado Where are you? Where are you? In my guacamole In my guacamole Yum, yum, yum Yum, yum, yum!

Doing the laundry today and realized Weird Al has missed a golden opportunity to do a Cranberries cover for “Zombie” Laundry Laundry Laundry-eh-eh

If I COULD be a super hero, I would be Captain America If I WAS a superhero, I would be Star Lord, a ridiculous/energetic goofball who breaks out into random dance-offs and talks to trees and raccoons Yup. I’m Star Lord

Got a date night with the wifey Grown-up emo me got to pretend to be college emo me for the first time since the pandemic #emo #dashboardconfessional

Plot Point: Alive WITHOUT a Pulse An LVAD is a device to constantly pump blood for people with end stage heart failure This means if your character is knocked unconscious and someone looks for a pulse, they might mistake them for dead Oh the possibilities #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #booksky

The CT scanner in my single-coverage ED is down tonight. My God have mercy on my patients. #emsky #medsky

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

Beyond yelling to the void, do what you can to volunteer in your community to enact some positive change This is how we can all help make the world a better place

It’s obvious which political party actually reads comic books and which one just watches Marvel movies on streaming My dudes, having read over 700 Captain America comics, can confirm Cap is woke as &$%# #marvel #comics #captainamerica

Quick Shot: LASERS In a make believe world, you make the rules…but it’s up to you if you’d like the rules to be believable Magical realism vs straight up magic Are your lasers electrical? Plasma? Thermal? How does your “stun setting” physiologically work? #writing #filmsky #scriptsky #gamedev

Words of Wisdom If the patient looks fine, they’re having a STEMI If they look like they’re having a STEMI, they’re having a dissection #emsky #medsky #ems #medicine

Quick Shot: TACTICAL MEDICINE🧵 Writers, here are some considerations for casualty care in a tactical environment This is a longer 🧵 - sadly, this also applies to real life active shooter/terrorist situations Might be a good 🧵 to tag for later #writing #gamedev #scriptsky #booksky #filmsky

Quick Shot: EMERGENCY INTUBATION Unlike for a scheduled knee replacement, in an emergency your characters won’t be fasting and their life is teetering in the balance This makes an intubation more difficult/messier, and it might require an emergency crichothyrotomy #writing #scriptsky #gamedev

I’m late to every party (probably because I’m not invited), but finally got around to watching SINNERS Did not know what to expect going in, but they need to make more movies like this.

I’ve been up since 3am Why? Because my 6yo has been up since 3am Why? Because we’re in LA, and she looked out the window at the orange glow from all the city lights and she’s been convinced it’s morning since 3am

Just finished some edits on the second draft of the screenplay. If anyone else with military experience wants to weigh in on the content, happy to take the feedback. #5amwritersclub #scriptsky #writing

I went for a bike ride today and ignored the internet so I have no clue what exploded in the world today 11/10 highly recommended.

Finished the gauntlet. 12 night shifts in 14 days Here’s to a night off #medsky

My medical OPINION: Trump might have had a stroke last week He was admitted, got a slug of a clot busting medication, and his symptoms happened to improve The mark on his hand was bruising from the med The facial droop is recrudescence of his stroke symptoms ? Just opinion #medsky #stroke

I’m devastated that this child died of a preventable illness and did not have any agency in their fate I didn’t go to law school, but I wonder if parents can be held liable for manslaughter, and if a DA was willing to prosecute whether it would have any effect on vaccine rates Vaccines save lives

Quick Shot: MED SCHOOL Medical is like high school - small class size - everybody knows everybody - end of term/block parties - studying and stress Unlike Grey’s Anatomy, residencies are too small for real drama. But med school is the perfect size for storytelling #writing #scriptsky #booksky

12th shift in 14 days coming up tonight Don’t send me your thoughts and prayers. Send your legislators to keep any more gunshot wounds out of my ER. Second amendment needs amending. #medsky #gunviolence #secondamendment #colddeadhands

WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED WELL REGULATED

Bad Trope: IMPOSSIBLE STAB WOUNDS - It’s REALLY hard to stab through bone - A stab wound to the neck won’t make your character silently drip thick dark blood from their mouth - A stab wound under the jaw would suck, but it won’t insta-kill your character #writing #scriptsky #gamedev #booksky

Quick Shot: FLATLINE Creatives, here’s your monthly reminder that YOU CAN’T SHOCK A FLATLINE But you can….. …. …. ….RELEASE THE &@%#ING EPSTEIN FILES

Just came home from my 11th shift in 13 days, and my wife and kids had fresh cookies waiting for me when I got home 😊 #medsky

Coming home from my 9th shift in 11 days to find a thick trail of ants leading directly to a pile of my dog’s vomit Winning

My 77yo patient tonight: “I made an appointment at the pharmacy to get a covid shot, i got there but then they didnt have it. Then I went to another pharmacy and they told me it would be $200. Who has that kind of money? What if you’re a family with 3 kids, that’s $1,000!” She gets it RFK #medsky

Writing friends, what do you do with the ideas floating around in your head that are: A) not your genre? 2) not your medium? iii) not your current or 5 upcoming WIPs? #writing #scriptsky

In 16 years I’ve seen 2 cases of syphilis In 16 weeks I’ve seen 4 Based on my highly scientific anecdata, I suggest making good choices

For those who lament ANY gun control as unconstitutional and would rather see kids get shot at school than give up your glock: YOU CAN AMMEND THE %#$&ING CONSTITUTION

It’s Friday night. You know what that means. Eighth shift in nine days!

Quick Shot: SNAKE BITES🧵 - Don’t “suck” out the venom - Don’t apply a tourniquet - Snakes have small fangs, so the bite wound might not even be noticeable - No, baby snakes are not more dangerous T Rule: testosterone + tequila + tanktop = high risk #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #booksky #gamedev

Holy crap, this is my favorite research study of all time ever Cardiac arrest survival rates in the 24th century: a retrospective review of star trek tng/ds9/voy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #startrek #resuscitation #cpr

Bad Trope: CPR Every single depiction of chest compressions looks like someone is trying to flatten out some playdough pancakes for a toddler, not, you know, compress a lifeless heart between a dead person's spine and sternum to restore blood flow. #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #booksky #gamedev

Hot Take: K-Pop Demon Hunters is really just Disney’s SEEING RED x BUFFY the VAMPIRE SLAYER Once more, with feeling #buffy #kpop
