Combining my interests in medicine and math, this is a bonkers tale about predatory journals. @pccmdoc.bsky.social - I totally thought of your warnings on the subject as I read it. @retractionwatch.com

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

today the fascists killed a nurse who did good work for the people in his care

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Solid list and no arguments about Bjork's Post being #1. Definitely missing Fugazi's Red Medicine, Superchunk's Here Where The Strings Come In, and Unwound's The Future of What @pastemagazine.bsky.social

Former U.Va. President Details Justice Department Pressure That Led to Ouster www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account. 'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said." Welp www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Americans will live with the consequences of senators who decided to let an anti-vaccine crank become one of the most powerful people in government.

Lovely essay by @caseyepsteingross.bsky.social ‬of @pastemagazine.bsky.social on a top 10 all-timer for me My friend Jo and I played a show with Charles in Brooklyn in 2013 and after being over-served, I tried to make the case to him that this album is my generation's Revolver.

The five albums that have had the biggest influence on my life (in no particular order) R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me Bob Mould - Workbook Fugazi - Repeater The Wrens - The Meadowlands

With 'Kreative Kontrol' reaching 1,000 episodes this week, we talked to host @vishkhanna.bsky.social — and his frequent guests Ian MacKaye, U.S. Girls, and @cadenceweapon.bsky.social — about what makes the music and culture podcast so indispensable

Can't argue too much with this list

“What the Justice Department did was very similar to what President Eisenhower did,” Mr. Gardner said, comparing the Trump administration’s actions to the 1957 WH decision to dispatch troops to Little Rock, Ark., to enforce the USSC’s school desegregation decision, Brown v. Bd of Education. WTF?
