A break in the rain afforded me a brief window of time to get outside for a walk just now. Reader, it was so windy and gusty I lost my balance a few times. And I’m WAAAAY north of this. Wild weather.

I don’t care how many times I’ve seen A Christmas Story, I’m still gonna laugh at all my favorite parts. Cinematic genius, this movie is. 10/10 every year forever.

Today I saw a freeway overpass sign that said “Scrooge is in the White House” and for a second I was all “HELL YEAH HE IS” and then I remembered that Scrooge comes round at end and does the right thing and I got sad because that’s just never gonna happen with Dump. Merry Christmas. 😞

Just…holy moly, wow. And not in a good way.

if they had just shown it on 60 Minutes nobody would have seen it

It’s the most hideous time of then year! I bought this sweater in 2016 for my sister’s birthday beer crawl and I’ve worn it once a year every year since then, even during the pandemic when everything was on Zoom. Best fashun ROI ever.

Holy moly. Just incredible. Will watch after the gym tonight. ALLISON FTW.

Yeah, no. 🙄 The thing that sucks is that some lazy ass child will eventually argue with their teacher that Seattle Francisco and Aldaquaque are real cities and present this map as evidence.

“Siri, what’s the definition of equipoise?” Not asking for any particular reason…

My parents did this a mere three months before my mom unexpectedly passed. The fact that my father didn’t have to make ANY decisions during those first few weeks was worth every ounce of face-your-own-demise discomfort they experienced when choosing and paying for their end of life wishes.

I’m serious, San Ramon. Knock it off. You can’t keep doing this.

Strong contender for short thread of the year. 🤣🤣🤣

San Ramon, we’re gonna need you to cool it, tonight. That’s waaay more than enough outta you. In Alameda, we’ve felt three.

#1 movie when you were ten is how your 2026 etc etc… Since this is one of my favorite movies of all time, I suppose it’ll do.

Even Mark Cuban knew better than to name his pharmacy after himself. JFC. I’m running out of ways to describe how much I fucking hate this guy.

Wait, this isn’t satire. Aren’t y’all supposed to be satire?! 😣

My officemate asked if she could play some Christmas music. “As long as it’s not that tawdry Santa Baby song, sure” I’m not exactly a Grinch, but I’m not a huge fan of Christmas music. Reader, all it took was a Frank Sinatra song for her to shut it off. 🤣🤣🤣 Amazing.

Ohhhhh no. Epic facepalm.

Oh, holy ever-loving shit.

So we can all agree that when the Epstein files come out, anything making Trump look bad will have been redacted and/or removed, right-wingers will treat questioning this as a crazy conspiracy theory, and mainstream media will push the "Trump did nothing wrong" angle, right?

Trump tonight: Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me

Read this. Then read it again.

Wembanyama. That’s it. That’s the post. (And I don’t even like the NBA, but the man is just insane!)

Photographic evidence that vile racism and willful ignorance will rot you from the inside out in record time. Also, whoever did her lips HATES HER. It’s glorious in a Matt Gaetz’s eyebrows kind of way.

I’ve never seen a patient with an undetectable CD4 count. 😦 Guess there’s a first for everything. He was prescribed LA injectable Lenacapavir and Cabotegravir. Interested to see how quickly he turns around.

TIL that “/ff leave” will kick the Fireflies AI note taker bot out of Zoom meetings if you’re not the meeting organizer. Please share tips to get rid of the Otter bot. That one seems a bit more difficult unless you own the meeting.

A friend and I were discussing the loss of #medtwitter over the weekend. It was such a beacon of knowledge and hope during the early days of the pandemic and I learned more than I could have imagined from doctors I will never meet. Truly, an unfathomable loss.

Today’s inane check-in question for our Monday team meeting: “What would your ideal office look like?” The *only* answer here is NO OFFICE AT ALL. People are taking this seriously…”comfy chairs, aromatherapy, inspirational quotes and fun posters, a fish tank, a fridge…” JFC PEOPLE.

The celebrations we'll have when that day comes.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

I had a nasal endoscopy yesterday and afterward the doc (who had a thinning man-bun) reviewed the pics of my nose and throat with me. When he got to the photos of my vocal cords, this motherfucker enthusiastically said, “OK, now here are the money shots!” Reader, Google what vocal cords look like

Just your daily reminder that the occurrence of frequent uncontained measles outbreaks in a country is not a flex, it is a marker of under development and a failed public health system.

GROSS, LinkedIn. 🤮

For the umpteenth time since at least Watergate, there are going to be no actual legal, personal, or professional consequences for the lawless authoritarianism from the GOP. It’s the signal feature of 🇺🇸 politics & why all the awful & illegal things keep happening again & again & again.

I watched it again for the umpteenth time recently and my god, it just gets better with every watch. The Antifa nuns are my favorite. And then Captain…SWOOOOOOON. Such a timeless masterpiece.

I haven’t really looked into it yet, but I can’t believe no one has done a Y-E-Z-T-U-G-O song to rhe tune of Chappell Roan’s Hot To Go! You can call me PrEPed to go! Like, Todrick Hall, are you out there somewhere? Pattie Gonia? SISTER ROMA?! I can’t be the only one to have thought of this!

There isn't a word Rep. Green says about Trump here that isn't true. Trump has piles upon piles of reasons to be impeached and removed, then convicted and punished for his crimes, but what's truly CRIMINAL is that Congress lacks the integrity to even begin the process.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Respectfully, get fucked, you dork.

I saw my doctor today because I’ve been noticing slight increases in my blood pressure and resting heart rate…and weight. I was concerned. She wasn’t. “Look, you exercise more than all of the patients I’ve seen today combined. And you’re nearly 50. Things fluctuate. You’re fine.” WUT. 🤯

I can smell some of my spin class participants from the instructor bike BEFORE class starts. The last thing on earth I want is to sit next to someone sweaty on a long cross country or international flight

1) Impose massive tariffs on China 2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports 3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans 4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase 5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In which your younger gamer friend asks if you’ve ever heard of Dispatch and you mistakenly think they’re referring to the indie bro-rock band and enthusiastically share your favorite songs because DAMN those white boys can harmonize, and they’re all “Yeah, no. I was talking about the game”.

Doctor here. PSA: A reminder that BY FAR, the worst & deadliest cartel in history was.. The Sackler Cartel. Billionaires. Fines, no jail time. Actual narcoterrorists. American citizens.

The research study I am currently working on is based out of Ward 86. Just the most dedicated compassionate team of people ever. Such a heartbreaking loss. Working in healthcare with marginalized communities carries a degree of risk, but this absolutely could have been prevented.

Just getting caught up on the men’s Grand Prix figure skating final and my goodness, how lucky are we to be alive during the time of Ilia Malinin. I look forward to the time when he cleans up his component score and finds a little control and amplitude. He’s already untouchable, though. Good lord.

This 14th amendment thing has me twisted My grandparents came to the US from various parts of what was then considered Russia. I don’t know if they did it “legally”. How far back will Trump’s investigations into birthright citizenship go? Are my parents considered citizen? Am I?
