Bedside clinical skills have been diminished by an overreliance on technology. A new Review Article presents educational strategies for reinvigorating the bedside encounter and shows how much can be learned from it. Learn more: nej.md/4nUirnP #MedSky #MedEd

TIL: "neurophobia": the phenomenon among medical students (and, presumably, trained physicians) in which there is a fear of the neural sciences and clinical neurology as it applies to clinical care. As in: shun the neuro patient. 🧪 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"As a result of these barriers, morning rounds, traditionally a bastion of bedside teaching, have migrated to the hallway, with less than 20% of rounding time spent with actual patients"

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

"Mathematically, it might seem like I spend a disproportionate amount of my time making the world a significantly less safe and less empathetic place, but are you counting all the hours I spend sleeping?"

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Texas A&M doctoral student, green card holder released after months in immigration detention By Julián Aguilar "Kim’s case was dropped after government prosecutors failed to produce court-ordered document." Kim is part of a university research team developing a vaccine to treat Lyme disease.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

This is how predators work. In the initial emails, he thinks he can still fuck her, and describes her willingness as: * listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation * didn't object when he commented on her outfit * let him whine about his marriage.

3 pieces to get to know me

please block anyone who contradicts Elizabeth Spiers with something along the lines of "actually, the south is permanently electorally irredeemable because it is a racist hellscape and every white there, to this very day, is the second coming of George Wallace." disinfo op shit. wrecker shit.

Talking to a circumcision expert

unintentionally revealing that he’s not in or even aware of any networks who are at this moment doing exactly what he claims no one is doing because he’s not doing it

I’ve now aged out of this but navigating the pestering attention of older men in my field—which varied from manipulative flattery when they were trying to sleep with you to contemptuous retaliation when they realized they couldn’t—was an exhausting and demoralizing tax of my early professional life.

@secretaboutbox.bsky.social I know we aren't moots but I'm sure a lot of people would chat if you asked. I would too

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

9/🧵 What does this mean for Democratic strategy? All those debates about choosing between identity politics and economic populism? False premise. Young working-class voters with low racial resentment aren't choosing. They're ready for Medicare for All AND Black Lives Matter. Lean into the tide.

6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

as your shaman/financial advisor I suggest you invest in the wood chipper market

there are REASONS it's not hard to show certain wine moms some radical zines and have us ready to turn into dragons breathing to burn it all down. Like oh, word? We didn't HAVE to be treated as cruelly as the 90s treated us? And our DAUGHTERS don't have to be?? 🐲🔥

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans. by Megyn Kelly

Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation: longcovid.scripps.edu/locitt-t/?ut...

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

I wonder what America would look like if both parties had possessed the moral integrity to take a hard line against segregation and antiblackness and left disgruntled racists politically homeless instead of integrating hatred into a party platform.

“Following the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol in Charlotte Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at First Ward Park in the afternoon and marched through uptown, delivering a clear message to federal agents: ‘Get out’...” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go. Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas? Trump's gotta go.

I'm sure Charlotte would have something to spin.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

"A citizens group in Ontario, California is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving federal immigration agents. They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..." abc7.com/post/ontario...

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

they can come into the tent when they admit they were wrong and change their views we all joke about Woke Bill Kristol but he is for the most part the perfect example - he has, legitimately, become much more progressive you can’t bring in people who are mad he’s not delivering on horrible shit

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Charlotte - buy gift cards for Manolo’s bakery, which is having to close temporarily because 🧊 is terrorizing his customers. Voted best cake shop in USAToday - the gift cards might help keep him afloat until you can pick up your cake. #ncpol manolosbakery.com

Charlotte, NC just happens to be a rapidly growing Democratic city that, with its population growth, could tip the swingish state of North Carolina into Democratic territory.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind

Maybe allowing betting on everything everywhere with a nation filled with broke brained lunatics who can't handle money was not a good idea.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

I'm so, so sorry to hear Alice Wong (@sfdirewolf.bsky.social) has passed. She was a wonderful person, a revelatory speaker, and very kind to me personally. The disability community and all her friends will miss her deeply. May her memory be a blessing.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
