If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

I probably took my first good breath all day after reading his post from earlier this morning. Shut the fuck up about the TACO thing; don’t goad the person who may fall asleep and chin slam the nuke button he was hovering over.

Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

Come on then, and remove him.

Microsoft, to its billions of customers: You must use this product to be hired or promoted. It is the future. We are spending billions per day, choking the rest of the economy. You cannot avoid it. You cannot uninstall it. It is risky. Do not rely on it for anything important. It is a toy.

China’s CGTN: US-Israeli attack destroys synagogue in center of Tehran

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Glia gang, this is for you! In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC). 🧠📈 http://microns-explorer.org

The case of the 62 year old grandma who was arrested last Oct. at an Alabama No Kings Rally heads to trial on April 15. The ASL interpreter was violently arrested for wearing a penis costume she bought at a local Spirit Halloween store. She was originally... 🧵1/3 theintercept.com/2026/04/03/p...

"The New York Times has 53 million followers, and yet its tweets often produce only a few hundred likes, retweets, and replies even when they reveal urgent, breaking news" The UK govt has been slow to understand how futile its efforts to reach people are, for the time/people capacity it puts in

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum under the Trump administration has deleted its teaching materials about links between Nazi racism and the Jim Crow laws: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

After Trump took office last year, the US Holocaust Museum quietly removed educational material about American racism from its website and canceled a workshop on the "fragility of democracy," @iriesentner.bsky.social reports. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

"I shouldn't have to pay for YOUR kids"..."I shouldn't have to pay for YOUR elders" but here we are...in a society

Oncologists...how are we feeling about this framing? Quibbles: 1. Cancer /is/ primarily a disease of aging. 2. A little surprised to see cancer referred to as "a disease" when it is many diseases. 3. Most cancers are becoming less common in young people with colon and breast being big exceptions.

Yes im 21

We really are entering a golden age of scams

Republicans in the House and Senate: impeach and convict and remove this deranged man. You have blood on your hands already and you are about to have a lot more. Trump is destroying this country and he’s not stopping there. You cowards. You worthless power-hungry cowards.

"My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it."

New data again reminds us of how frequently children 5 and younger visit the emergency department each year for injury or poisoning from cleaning products. As a pediatric emergency medicine doctor and a mom, here are my top 3 tips- #parenting #toddlermomlife #toddlers

Since humans are en route back to Lunar space for the first time in decades, I've been thinking about our celestial companion a lot. So many of us photograph it, and often. A thread of some lunar pics (mine, and others) 1. Me from backyard. Middle image is using a R100 grating spectrum filter.

So this Walter Reed thing started with the Krassensteins. You need to stop letting yourself be tricked by the Krassensteins. That's humiliating

After Hib vaccinations began, the # of infections fell to <50/yr. Many drs. who’ve trained in past 40 yrs have never seen a case. Now parents unfamiliar w/the highly contagious & fast-moving infection are skipping Hib shots for their kids. % of babies w/full Hib series: 2019 (78.8%), 2021 (77.6%)🛟

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

Wow, they changed the headline to be *worse*.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #largebirdsinflight so here's a bunch of American White Pelicans that flew over my head in Oregon.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

it‘s actually worse

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

Today I'm at the Environmental Health Australia WA State Conference Did you know that with every 1°C increase in temperature, there's an 8.8% increase in foodborne Salmonellosis cases? #publichealth #IDEpi

Stunning Phil. Reminds me of Thor's Helmet nebula.

I’m gonna make this really simple Hospitals on strike = good Strikes on hospital = bad

The goats are learning to use tools 😬

For those that don’t know (welcome!) gloves impede dexterity, which increases the possibility of damaging a book FAR more than handling with clean dry hands. Gloves ARE still used for some materials (photographs, metal objects, items made of hazardous materials, etc.)

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

This could be a game changer!! Diarrhea is global health's least sexy challenge, but it remains a top killer of children. E.coli is present in 98% of water sources in Guatemala, for example, and systematic water purification is incredibly challenging for low-resourced contexts.

New paper in PNAS! When the mind wanders, it often drifts to the body. We call this "body-wandering". These thoughts are often negative, but are associated with reduced ADHD & depression symptoms, driven by a distinct interoceptive-allostatic brain signature. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2520822123
