I just need someone to tell me that everything is going to be okay and then give me $150,000.

My entire department is swooning over the AI tools to help them write notes faster, but I want nothing to do with it because of exactly is kind of insanity. I’d have to proof read every single thing it wrote so I might as well do it myself.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Kid 1: *farts loudly right next to me* “I didn’t fart.”

Not sure what’s going on here, but feels like a metaphor for my work week

technically the first photon torpedo

The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

Kid #1 is into the “The Bad Guys” movies lately…and I am not comfortable with how attracted I am to her.

Idea: Every institution has an email referee. If someone does an email “foul” (example: responding to an email with a question that was clearly answered in the original email) you forward the thread confidentially to the ref who adjudicates the foul. Everyone’s foul count is displayed publicly.

Parenting is just constantly asking, “Why is this wet?”

i think monday should fucking kill itself

Business idea: Service that will immediately connect you via audio or video call with an HCW in your same specialty because you need someone to rant to and comparable expertise is required to understand the rant. You pay $10-20 per call you place, discount if you sign up to be a listener.

The reality that we just randomly decided a lot of people should die for no reason with no goal. Celebrate how successfully they are lighting money and lives on fire for the glory of mammon and Cthulhu

So cute lol!

The regime has killed three US citizens that we know of. They’ve killed countless immigrants in the camps. Now they’ve killed a refugee named Nurul Amin Shah Alam. He was blind, disabled and didn’t speak English. They abandoned him outside and he froze to death.

sleepmaxxing and pillowmogging

This, basically:

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

The harm this will cause is incalculable. The ramifications go far beyond the infections that could be prevented. One example - a vaccine against EBV could potentially prevent multiple sclerosis.

All my flibberties gibbetted

Trying really hard not to go through an entire sleeve of Girl Scout cookies while trying to finish up my notes from today.

Can you imagine how much good this can do in terms of both 1) enriching and beautifying the world around us and 2) stabilizing the lives of individual artists??

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

Schumer: ball’s in your court Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

I feel like I could do a whole ethnographic observation study on people who take lots of pictures of slides at conferences.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Proposal: Instead of saving the exciting clinical trial results for the last day of conferences to try and get people to stay for the whole meeting, they should present them at the beginning of the conference so we can talk about them while we’re together!!

my favorite color herring is red. or is it??

one obama era hire, one trump 1st term hire, both served thru biden's run. fully trained for years. kind of a massive flaw in the argument that dems can restrain and retrain the gestapo and reform it.

Sigh. Kid 1’s motion sickness started much younger than mine did, and so I have feared that he would start having migraines at a similarly younger age. Very unhappy to say I was right.

Your regularly scheduled reminder anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease are two very different things and you should not order MAG antibodies when you're worried about MOGAD/demyelinating disease. Thank you.

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not. Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends. We are angry, feral, and tired. Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

If it were to design a troop in a lab to make me cry with how much I wanted to support them, this is basically what you’d come up with. Please join me in ordering ALL THE COOKIES!!!

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

I would follow him to hell and back.

ICE & CBP have killed several people over the last year and the only names to enter the popular consciousness are the names of the white Americans they have killed. We need to attend to what structures that, both externally & internally. And the same outraged cops? Defended the killers amongst them

This is free to use. Abolish, dismantle, and prosecute ICE.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

What I want to hear from Dems: condemnations of what's happening, vows to punish the perpetrators, clear steps for what they'll do to end this if they regain the majority in the House and/or Senate.

Immigrants are good, actually Sincerely, an immigrant

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

As we work to combat the Right-wing smear campaigns against Renee Good and Alex Pretti, I hope we'll also think of the countless others--disproportionately people marginalized by racism--who have been vilified to justify state violence and abuse, and who haven't had legions come to their defense.

The most important public health story right now in America is that the Trump administration is executing people in the streets, it is kidnapping people of all ages, including 2-year-olds, it is torturing them, & it is putting them in concentration camps where many have been killed or “disappeared”

It’s funny how the supposed “right to bear arms” suddenly has lots of caveats and restrictions. Maybe the only right it was really about was the right for people with a racist right wing ideology to intimidate others.

Is banh mi the best sandwich? I say yes. Discuss.

Kid 2 is currently demanding “both” She either cannot or will not elaborate
