If Suozzi makes you sick, consider tossing a few bucks at his primary opponent, @votewelch.bsky.social .

You cannot make a centrist argument on issues of human rights or human dignity. Stop trying to argue with these people as if they ever make arguments in good faith. They do not. Here's a good example. He was always wrong, but unwilling to acknowledge that fact.

I've spent 16 years engaging the public about medical history. I am genuinely passionate about what I do. But now, all my hard work is being stolen and repackaged into a soulless app. The internet has turned all of us into products. I am genuinely scared for the future. /End

My kids watched me cast my vote today — for myself — but really for them and every child in South Carolina. As a pediatrician and a mom, I’ve spent my career fighting for kids. Now I’m asking South Carolinians to trust me to take that fight to the Senate.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is vaccine-preventable If you're over 50, or younger than 50 and have risk factors like COPD, asthma, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, or if you smoke, like Kyle Busch, get the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Available at most pharmacies and covered by most insurance plans

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

In the past year I’ve read > 100 books & if I could recommend only one it would be After Shock by the truly tremendous @ranaawdish.bsky.social Preorder from your favorite indie bookseller today to help put her on those bestseller lists where she belongs. literatibookstore.com/book/9781250...

"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

once again… this is antiscientific nonsense

RIP Sonny Rollins, the Colossus who reinvented the saxophone at least twice, who tapped the subconscious realm to realize the most brazen, beautiful riffs ever conceived, who embodied a spirit of total integrity & discipline, playing for hours under the bridge, consecrated to pure mastery of the art

Reviewers in two groups were given identical resumes for Emily Clarke and James Clarke and told they had used AI. Emily's was 2x as likely to raise doubts about competence. "She can't even write a CV herself." But James "just needed a bit of help." fortune.com/2026/05/10/i...

Casual misogyny is so exhausting. And now this incident is being celebrated with t-shirts on sale outside of Wrigley. A fan yelled a vacuous jeer at him and PCA responded with a common sexual threat. Woman have to make themselves so small to avoid making a guy angry. It's exhausting.

My latest is wondering if Pete Crow-Armstrong should have received a harsher punishment than a $5,000 fine after an altercation with a White Sox fan during the Crosstown Classic. www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs...

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 Right now your pediatrician is happy to help. All you have to do is call. Social media crowd-sourced “medical advice” Is never a good idea. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

So there are a couple of professors over on the other place arguing we shouldn’t worry about AI’s fake citations bc it’s impossible to read all the things you cite anyway. Very interesting choice to willingly out yourself as cheating at your job—and pretend that behavior is normal!

Just your regular reminder that routine administration of Vitamin K to newborns literally saves hundreds of lives every year in the US alone.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Really looking forward to moderating this discussion! Please join.

Nathan MacKinnon picks the top corner with the extra attacker, it's tied

Who are these ghouls talking to?

Look, even this level of idiocy is not reason to panic. It just reemphasizes the point here:

Prepare yourselves for the Hantavirus… …episode I’m releasing tomorrow. It’s good. You’ll learn lots.

Over 150,000 mothers across the U.S. will spend today incarcerated and separated from their children. Families deserve to stay together.

HT Clare McNaught, first woman president of @rcsed.bsky.social for alerting me to this bit of wisdom from Erica Kreismann (LinkedIn). Women- or anyone with a high degree of conscientiousness, I reckon- don't have imposter syndrome, they have an overcorrection problem. And it leads to #burnout.

Amazing how many #AndesVirus experts appeared overnight — many likely had never heard of it a week ago. Outbreaks are humbling. It’s important to be honest about what we know, what we don’t know, and to remain humble. Working in outbreaks has taught me that repeatedly.

Incidentally, much of the HHS focus on gutting “DEI” grants in science was in part a reaction to the success of social epidemiology research by women who demonstrated unequivocally that social determinants are far and away the biggest drivers of health. It really was capitalism and racism all along.

Holy fuck, I adore every single person who protested against the vile fuckmuppets who lobbied against the medevacs for Seattle Children’s Hospital! THEY ARENN’T FLYING IN & OUT OF THERE FOR SHITS + GIGGLES, YOU ROTTEN FUCKING PORK CHOPS! Holy fuck how evil do you have to be to go against that!? 1/

Listen to Dr. Smith. She was telling us to avoid cruise ships in 2019 even before COVID. www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...

As an ob-gyn, you’re a force for health in your community. When you speak up to defend access to abortion care and mifepristone, you make a difference. Start with our guidance on medication abortion and the evidence affirming mifepristone’s safety: https://bit.ly/4eBLMm4 #ActionWithACOG

BIG: PeaceHealth listened to community leaders and providers and reversed the decision to outsource emergency department staffing. This is a significant win for the Lane County community who relies on PeaceHealth for critical health care.

An infant boy died of Covid-19 pneumonia on March 23, 2020 He had no chronic diseases. 😡

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

Got a newsletter from one of the food banks I support and they had a story about the new food pantry they have set up at the local community college because so many students are food insecure. Food banks are such incredible resources in our communities. Support your food banks however you can!

Okay, so a few things 🧵 1. There is in vitro evidence that ivermectin can inhibit importins (proteins that import things into the nucleus). However, hantaviruses, like Andes virus, do not have a phase of their replication cycle that requires them to go to the nucleus. ictv.global/report/chapt...

The worst thing about MD grifters like Mary Talley Bowden is they spew what anyone who has taken a #biochemistry class can immediately identify as bullshit and puts science-y words in there and get millions of people to do at best ineffective and at worst actively harmful things to their bodies

We knew Vit K was effective in preventing bleeding more than 60 years ago In 1961, the American Academy of Pediatrics began recommending all newborns receive a vitamin K injection as part of routine newborn care In 2026, if we allow kids to bleed and die, this is beyond shameful

This week I got to witness a demo of acoustic fire suppression in Concord, CA. Experts I spoke with still have a lot of questions. Read my latest for @arstechnica.com : arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Here’s how South Carolina beat back a measles outbreak: “Measles vaccinations were the most effective single containment tool”

UNMASKING MAHA, M.D. Approximately 2000 American children have died of covid-19 and about 20% of those who are sickened suffer long covid. But she doesn't like vaccines and masks. Please stay the f*ck away from cancer patients.
