This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

More evidence for COVID destroying the workforce and economy.

My leg feels like a DVT is forming. The last two days in a hospital bed for bleeding didn't help. Maybe the universe is telling me my time is up. If I anticoagulate, I bleed, if I don't, I get a DVT. Catch-22.

I don't think that the "Freedom Fuel" nonsense will help this situation at all. We are about to enter the FO phase of the Epstein File Distraction War. www.cnn.com/2026/07/09/w...

Most of the world would probably back them on this plan.

This is so incredibly stupid. There are 240 million motorists in the US. thehill.com/policy/energ...

This asshole really set me off. You know I'm mad when I drop a F bomb. They are really rare from me. x.com/i/status/207...

Two days of my life gone, a bunch of money, and still no answers post procedure. 😢😓😭

While Texans celebrated July 4, Senate candidate Ken Paxton was seen walking the streets of London with his alleged mistress. Just like Graham Platner, he should never become a U.S. senator.

Every accusation by Republicans is a confession.

Someone from nutrition services brought me my clear liquid lunch. She was wearing a hijab so I greeted her with as-salamu alaykum. I think she was surprised to hear that from this white Scandinavian male. I could see the smile on her face under her mask. That made my day.

Could cognitive impairment from COVID impact design decisions on a building retrofit that makes it unsafe? I hadn't thought about this until today either. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Infection prevention is working on getting a HEPA filter for my room and there is a masking sign on my door.

My noc nurse was surprised when I told her my IV was starting to infiltrate, particularly because I caught it so early and told her. Do most people not know what that is?

Ugh... ambulance needed by someone with necrotizing pancreatitis, obviously much more important. On hold again.

Antivaxxers are the dumbest people on the planet. www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

Ambulance scheduled to get me in just over 90 minutes.

It obviously hasn't stopped yet but on the upside I have convinced two nurses and an EMT to start wearing respiratory protection again.

I've had big concerns about water supply and power generation along the Colorado, but this is a new scenario to me. coloradosun.com/2026/07/06/s...

Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Trump bought around $500,000 worth of shares in Abbott stock last year. His DOJ just dropped a years-long criminal investigation into Abbott for potential deadly misconduct. Everything is for sale.

Found my billfold. In the ER waiting sitting on chux. People are probably wondering about my blood soaked clothes and spatters on my legs.

My bathroom looks like a crime scene. I was going to go to the ER but can't find my billfold/insurance card. I hate our completely dysfunctional healthcare. I'm so tired of everything that sitting here and exsanguinating seems like a reasonable option.

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/u... an ominous trend: graduate admissions are down 15 percent from last year, on top of an 11 percent decrease from the previous year we are destroying our seed corn

1-2 I spent much of the afternoon adding additional wastewater data to various states. Unfortunately, there wasn't some available for some state. I would have preferred to find the raw data, but I simply embedded.

That big smoke spectacular in DC last night was such a stupid event. The fireworks were barely visible through it all and the AQI is still horrible this morning.

More evidence of how dumb the MAGA crowds are. "A group of more than 100 people near the stage refused to leave." www.yahoo.com/news/weather...

I left DC last fall in part due to the military on the streets only to return home to MSP and the ICE murders. My next contract was in NJ and I wound up only about 30 minutes from Delaney Hall. Hopefully I can have a little peace in MSP before leaving for my next contract.

In this remarkable image of white supremicists on a subway train in Washington I see cowards afraid to show their faces and a strong woman who shouldn't have to put up with this shit. (Photo: Cheney Orr - Reuters)

And no criticism I make of Ioaniddis will ever be as nasty and false as his *repeated* claim frontline docs killed patients via intubations. Get the facts…

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

6 years ago, Atlas cheered the mass infection of unvaccinated youth for herd immunity. Today, he wants to destroy the NIH. See the connection?

new metaphor just dropped

It looks like FL is once again going to win the next COVID surge race, right on cue as I expected, partly due to their fool of a surgeon general. This is ED visits. This usually lags cases by about 3 weeks. I suspect this will be the worst wave we have seen in a couple of years.

I wonder how many fingers will be lost and fires started this weekend, particularly with all recent heat.
