Data Ive been waiting on for 3 years was presented today by a brilliant medical student. It’s rare I leap from my chair with joy but it was that good. Those moments make it all worth it.

This part may take time. Like hundred pound puzzle pieces.

I've never heard a more accurate description of what June 14th, 2026 will be in DC on what is supposed to be the People's lawn. And the description of the fucker doing it are spot on. Long Live the Obama's🧡🔥💜 Have an evening, y'all! I have lace bobbin to learn. #SheShed #FDT

I motion we refer to the Trump administration as the screwworm administration going forward.

First stones in. That big one is where the smoker will live. They sent me a pic and told me to not walk on them till fully set. But it’s okay if the dogs do.

The stone has arrived.

Hot tip. If a patient is oriented and talking to you, they are not in status, and they do not need a STAT routine eeg at 3AM. Being on call is a test of patience which gets harder to regulate as sleep deprivation increases.

You know when you open a patients chart and you see that they have a long history of doctor shopping. Yeah. That.

Baby beets with local goat cheese, red onion, fennel (from the kitchen garden) on butter lettuce. Sticky rice with truffle hot sauce, the last of the chicken schnitzel. Lemon squeeze over it all.

A walk between storms. Rained on my way home from work. Cleared up for a humid wet walk through the wet grass. And there’s some monster storm coming tonight. Alas. June. At least the pups got some pond time in.

The first pour is done. And it’s first rain storm.

Pouring.

Hey susan what happened?

I think the way to deal with Maine is to be complimentary of Collins years of service to Maine, and point out it has been years, she’s earned retirement, time to go. The people of Maine like her. Going negative won’t work well. Thanking her and encouraging her to take a break. Might work.

Has anyone pointed out to the “USA F*** Yeah” maga White House crowd that mixed martial arts are, imported, immigrant, DEI?

Apparently, Iran shot down the US Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz last night while the US commander-in-chief was busy sleeping at the Knicks game.

Should get the concrete pour tomorrow!

Back on call so a late walk. 2 inches of rain today. The trails were flooded. Beautiful golden hour. So many fireflies and curious deer.

In 2000 computers weren’t universal. California is bigger. Simply solved by hiring more people to do the work. Just telling the maga they are wrong doesn’t work. They have no shame. And that approach has proven, not good, we got Trump 2.0.

Catering? No. Removing levers for them to push doubt? Yes. Every vote can be counted and it doesn’t have to take 3 weeks. It can be done. Illinois does it.

Nothing says “USA! USA!“ like packing food pantry items for panicked neighbors who don’t know what the fuck is going on with SNAP benefits into 🎆 AMERICA 250! 🎆 branded grocery bags.

😆😆😆

This is why the slowness is a problem. He will do this every day for two weeks and we know repetition makes the maga believe anything. It’s dangerous. California needs to figure out how to do this faster.

How to ward off the curse coming for the Knicks in game 3 of the finals. #nba #finals #nyc #witch #summerhouse and don’t let a single Knick take a pic with him! Just ask Saquon Barkley what that does to your stats.

The chowder heads are going to use the California vote being a slow turn as justification for shenanigans to n the midterm. Stupid and also dangerous and also, California, get your shit together girl. It’s 2026. Count your damn votes like a normal state.

Hello smoked spatchcocked zatar brined turkey.

I had a turkey in the deep freeze that I got for free last year. Thawed and brined it in zatar, salt and apple cider vinegar. Spatchcocked it and smoking it on the Traeger. Making a gravy with the backbone, neck and bits.

Bravo to Hunter Biden. Well done. I like this informed swagger.

Wow! Many have been overcome by drugs Some perish and some come back stronger... Love is healing...

💥 In Donetsk region, birds are building nests from drone fiber optics.

And the people of Indiana will get the bill, and they seem happy about it? F-em is right. Start a new franchise at Soldier field. The Chicago middle fingers.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Summer boules. Makes me feel fine. #breadsky

I’ve been craving chicken schnitzel all week but was too busy to make it. Sourdough breadcrumbs. Eggy potato salad. Horseradish mustard. Fresh squeezed lemon. So good.

Some call it sleeping. I call it rehearsing.

Herb kitchen garden planted. Rosemary, sorrel, thyme (English, French, elfin, magic carpet and spicey orange), sage (berggarten, golden, tricolor), fennel, parsley, basil, oregano (Greek, sweet), spearmint, nasturtium, lavender (French, certified), cherry tomatoes, zinnia, petunia.

My favorite local bakery makes an item they call a butter cube. Croissant dough baked in a Pullman pan. I love them.

someone on Twitter once posted a breakdown showing how many gay men died of AIDS in various districts of Florida, overlaid with how many votes Gore lost those districts by in 2000, and I've genuinely never been okay since. there literally would have been no George W. if those men were still with us

At least you have the DOW

We live in a world where the same people who said Kamala Harris supports genocide say that Graham Platner is the future of the progressive left and I am disgusted by all of you.

A day of administrivia and countless small annoying tasks. So a late pond walk. They were happy.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Quiet piggy.

Thanks to our fiscal stability, we're now making investments in Illinois to set us up for the largest amount of economic growth in state history. Our GDP surpassed $1.2 trillion last year — and we're now attracting companies experiencing double-digit annual growth rates.

Oh look -- the Secretary of Energy is lying

David Hogg found this guy and promoted him as a “liberal version” of a maga. Looks like he nailed it. He’s super maga. Who knows if he’s liberal. No voting record to check. Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/u...

If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.
