I’m so sorry to her, but I really do have to whisper “If your Naomi be Klein/Then you’re doing just fine” under my breath every single time to make sure I’ve got the right one.

patient in her 50s? asked me about creatine and then started asking me more general questions about sports nutrition and workout routines (which I apparently know the answer to now) Her: "I just want the same butt I had in my 20s!" Her son (colored hair, dozens of piercings): *ready to die*

not an expert, but I believe using "smart glasses" while working at an Alberta pharmacy would require you to submit a PIA to OIPC, as it is "a practice, program, project or service [that] involves the development or use of innovative technology" to collect patient data www.alberta.ca/system/files...

The strongest El Niño in 150 years? That’s not hype, it’s the actual median forecast right now for the developing event later this year. It could rival — or even surpass — the legendary 1877 El Niño, the strongest on record, which was linked to widespread drought, monsoon failure, and food crises 1/

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

AI creativity is that which can say, “I studied 10,000 French Academic paintings and here is the most statistically typical result.” Human creativity is that which can say, “I studied 10,000 French Academic paintings and now I’m so sick of it, I’m gonna go invent Impressionism.”

I am also thigmotactic

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

BrandoSando: "So. He's very good at fighting, and he's a wealthy nobleman." Me: "Okay," Branderson: "And he ends up in an arranged courtship with the strangest woman he's ever met." Me: "Okay," BranSan: "But get this. He finds the strangeness endearing." Me: "Oh my god. He finds it endearing."

I’ve said this before, but the fact that an AI with perfect information can figure things out doesn’t really help in a field where the primary difficulty is understanding what you don’t know.

AI charted that our patient was pregnant when anyone with common sense would realize she'd had a miscarriage months ago 😬

I understand that the economy is bad right now. I know a new bedframe likely isn't doable. I hope I can get some things to make my current bed safer, though, and they're on my wishlist. venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$CAugustMcMu... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

Levi was procrastinating bedtime by playing Cover Your Assets incredibly slowly, but fortunately I am halfway through the Wax and Wayne series so I simply engaged in some misdirection and pocketed a good 90% of the remaining deck

I just think if they sell it at Albertsons in Montana I should be able to find it at the grocery store in Calgary

I also think that in the same way I own a hybrid car but ALSO take the train or use my e-bike when possible, it's entirely possible to eat more plant-based protein and also the occasional steak, but people react to this information like believing it would require them to become vegan overnight

August is having a flare and needs to purchase more medical supplies than usual right now. Anything helps!

getting absolutely nerfed by ADHD today, this is The Worst

you think the devil can come inside your house but only if your daughter has an ouija board? made of cardboard? by the same people who make candyland? that's his fucking eldritch scheme? evil older than the world relies on a board game? like chutes and ladders? good lord

I’m very much of a mind that I want all ”smart” things gone from my home. Give me a dumb tv. A stupid speaker and idiot watch.

The Wheels on the Bus is NOT about a school bus. School busses do not have babies going wah wah wah nor mamas going shh shh shh. We need to stop showing yellow school busses in media surrounding this public transportation anthem. I'm looking at you, Ms. Rachel.

economists seem especially susceptible to a kind of Dunning-Kruger effect regarding other fields. they're just like "aha, bet you guys never tried STATISTICS" and then do the wrong statistics

truck vs lambiurgshdini is fantastic content because it easily demonstrates the central issue at hand but instead of something tragic like "death of an average-sized 9 year old" it's a victimless crime

community pharmacy is wild because back-to-back I can have a patient walk up to the counter convinced I can give him an OTC for BP 220/140 (no? go to the ER???) and then have another patient walk up who doesn't believe my recommendation of Pepcid for classic heartburn symptoms

I don’t understand the desire to spend a bunch of money on private insurance paid to an insurance company for mediocre drug coverage, to avoid paying taxes to cover better pharmacare. It makes no sense - drug plan costs will not stay as-is in the context of high cost drugs. That’s not how it works.

Opponents of pharmacare like to pretend that we’re in the 1990s where drugs were expensive but prices were more manageable. We’re not there anymore. Many new drugs cost tens of thousands of dollars and will put a huge financial strain on private payers (including employers paying for insurance).

We are getting ever so close.

Me: jokes about soaking are boring and overdone my FYP, proving me wrong:

An infuriating thing: the men who pushed for mass infection instead of mass vaccination—Bhattacharya & RFK Jr—now run the health system & KILLED the actual technology (mRNA vaccines) that would end the next pandemic rapidly. So they’ve made it MORE likely we’ll need lengthy NPIs in the next pandemic

The horror!! A Canadian selling fake maple syrup!!

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Recently, the accrediting body for U.S. medical schools quietly published updated standards that no longer explicitly require med schools to teach about health equity. In my piece, I argue that this rollback harms us all & that medical schools have an obligation to keep teaching this content.

now that the discourse has passed I just need to say that the most upsetting part of the Kristi Noem's husband thing TO ME PERSONALLY is he did not orient the balloon bumps even remotely in the location or direction of nipples

regular PSA that if you have conjunctivitis your optometrist can usually get you in on short notice, and according to one study they are about TWICE as good at diagnosing the cause of conjunctivitis as doctors or pharmacists (which makes sense because they can look in your eyes better)

I had a patient who doesn't speak English at all and I was trying to explain her coverage was terminated (she is very sick and needs some very expensive meds!). She came back with all the letters and emails from her benefits so I went through them with her and I want to explode the UPC with my brain

I'm the only non-Arabic-speaking white person at this pharmacy and the chain just released some new pamphlet with someone who looks a LOT like me and let me tell you "oh sure, alll white guys look alike" jokes are killing it with my coworkers

I like it when people ask me a question and after a detailed consultation they go "oh, I don't want to take pills for it" like. okay well you asked your question at the Taking Pills For It Centre

This is eugenics. I am one of the people they want to "clean up." I have long-term health issues that cause me to need expensive medications and occasionally procedures to maintain a baseline. I am disabled, and don't "work" in a way they recognize. RFK Jr wants me dead.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
