english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

In clinical practice, patients with #Bacteremia receiving dalbavancin were younger and more likely to have substance use or housing instability than those in the DOTS trial, but completed therapy with similar low failure rates. ja.ma/4odctAk

I think they got sick because they drank raw milk but go ahead & investigate

My theory is everyone is looking for an outlet for their anger, and data centers are a non-partisan target that's tangible and local. They're also bad, but I suspect that's not the main driver since so are lots of other things we tolerate. 🤷‍♂️

The biohackers subreddit banned all posts about peptides and HRT because peptide companies were spamming + manipulating the sub in order to manipulate Google AI and ChatGPT answers. Very insidious industry that is drastically changing the internet www.404media.co/companies-ar...

AI has an existential crisis most mornings?

@abigailspanberger.com should be listening.

Breaking: the Supreme Courts illusion of legitimacy. They should no ignored (starting with @abigailspanberger.com restoring the VA map) and dramatically overhauled or abolished.

Say what you will about Caligula, but he appointed an *entire* horse to a government position, not just the rear end.

@josephmarcusid.medsky.social any abx you'd avoid on ECMO? I thought CTX or erta but seems ok? share.google/PBQ9FTfnn1dt...

The politicians and pundits understand class solidarity, why can't we?

In this latest @escmid.bsky.social clinical guideline, a panel of 16 multidisciplinary experts provide recommendations for how to evaluate and manage patients with reported antibiotic allergies. www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119...

What about Dapto/Vanc and CTX for Enterococcus tho? 👀 #IDsky

Amp and CTX together for Enterococcus endocarditis... is it real, or just because placebo was deemed unethical? Is there any evidence of CTX having synergy with other therapies (like Vanco or Dapto)? #IDsky

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

Always need to be fiscally responsible right after the giant tax cut and the unnecessary war

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

we don't have a masculinity crisis. we have a patriarchy crisis. patriarchy creates and sustains male unhappiness with its dogmatic, toxic, rigid definition of masculinity which says the worst and most undesirable thing a human can be is female which is how we get insults like "Low-T Talarico"

The political takeaway from 2020 was that there was no sustained willpower to tackle the question of civilian control of the police, and nothing is going to happen on that front until that changes.

One could imagine the state using said police power to invade and shut down the private prison, but that would imply the governor has any control over a rogue police.

New York City is the media capital of the country. Delaney Hall is nine miles from Manhattan. There is zero reason to not have wall to wall coverage of the hunger strike, the horrific conditions and ICE violence. The indie journalists need strength in numbers, and not just during business hours.

"In 1992 New York tried to create a review board for NYPD officers accused of misconduct Thousands of off duty cops responded by smashing car windows, chanting racial slurs, breaking barricades outside of city hall, attacking journalists, pedestrians, and blocking traffic across the Brooklyn Bridge"

this is true for mayors too. between wildcat strikes, manipulating data, and maybe kidnapping your kid, the cops have all the leverage.

I think debating is fun, but purely recreationally with someone who is also doing it recreationally and not, like, trying to score internet points (or push vile theories into the public square). Debate as a way to actually try and change someone's mind? Get outta here!

"This isn't me being gay, it's science" is a bar and I'm going to steal it.

Pigeon pathfinding may depend on IMMUNE CELLS in their LIVERS 😕. Macrophages in the liver break down old red blood cells & in the process accumulate iron compounds like 'ferritin', which is superparamagnetic. These liver immune cells are found in proximity to nerve clusters. Compass cells!

Fastest way to enrage a suburban liberal is to suggest that school funding should be a uniform per-student rate across the state, and completely divorced from property taxes.

And this is only #1...

Kinda crazypants rules. In addition to stops political appointees having veto power, it also blocks using grants to pay for conferences or open access (with limited exceptions), and plenty of other problems re picking who gets excluded. Easily overturned next admin, but how quickly?

Okay, bear with me for a second. Because I've held this theory for a long time. And I kinda feels like this confirms it. The death of Harambe was the tipping point of no return for the unserious right-wing turn of America. 🧵

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

the position here is that being a liberal is itself a heresy and that the only real christianity is whatever happens to be aligned with the republican party

Increasingly brazen defiance by conservative cops of liberal electeds and actual laws over the last 10 years is a very grim omen about how the chaos trump is trying to unleash on our country will play

"No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another" U.S. Const. Art 1, s. 9, cl. 6

Unnoticed by whom?

This entire administration is an exercise in discovering why you need government and then scrambling to assemble an arm while cutting off another leg.

Billionaires are a blight on this country, and trans panic is manufactured fake crap by said billionaires who should stop freaking out about who's playing which teen sport and start paying attention to their own kids again.

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Why is the deadline for registering for subspecialty boards (which takes place in October), in June, right *before* anyone gets an attending paycheck? Such unnecessary financial screwing with medical trainees. #MedSky

[watching someone wash their hands after using the bathroom]: I feel sad for the people who live their lives in fear. I pity them, I worry for their mental health, I even worry for our country

yo

i cant believe tom steyer is the first dem politician (that ive seen) to proudly and forcefully make this correct and obvious counter argument to the bigotry but im glad he did

Now that @idweek.bsky.social abstracts are submitted, I’m working with several trainees on writing their first manuscript 📝 It is a daunting task for a trainee balancing: Clinical duties 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ Research 🔬 🧐 Limited personal time 🏖️ 🏃 🥘 Here is how I break down papers with trainees: #IDSky 1/10

Commenting on other people's transactions is psychopath behavior.

For whom is it home? Or mother? For whom is it NOT home? A home is a private place to be visited only on specific invitation. Who gets to call this their homeland and who doesn't? It is inherently a phrase that implies that our security rests on exclusion.
