Yes, banning the mention of a ban... Not so much 'irony’ as ’beating subtext to death with a brick in broad daylight’. Alanis Morissette, where are you when you've never been more needed? apnews.com/article/cens...

Sounds like good television. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well, this isn't ramping up at all well. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jesus, right in the neck. This may impact his career as a speaker, I'd imagine, poor schmuck. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This headline, *chef's kiss*. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

@joho.bsky.social gets censored for criticising the MAHA movement. Talk about a dick move. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good fucking god. I suppose people need their 'Leibensraum', right? Just with a nice touch of Trumpian glitz. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Another presidency, another viral outbreak. Is-- the world trying to tell us something? Kidding. Mostly. Thankfully we won't have to deal with mosquitos unless global warming happens because someone reignites a "drill baby drill" attitude! Ha! Ha! ...fuck youtu.be/vNQ-4G_M7c0?...

Not sure what's worse, that this is pretty much what we think happened, or that I'm getting so increasingly nonplussed by this tripe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To be honest, from my times in Cusco, Inca Cola has been my preferred soft drink if a tonic and lime is unavailable. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Not remotely a fan of this format, but the clamps after one guy admits to being a fascist?! What in the everliving hell?! youtu.be/2S-WJN3L5eo?...

Mitochondrial donation for mitochondrial diseases. Bloody nifty stuff. #MedSky www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

We certainly do *not* profit off of it; stocking and re-stocking vaccines is costly to clinics. Half the time I have to send the prescription to the pharmacy because insurance wouldn't even reimburse the administration fees.

It’s me. Source unknown. #Booksky #Booklover #Reader

Grrrrr... Frustrating and entirely expected. youtu.be/02t11T2aetM?...

Good God, the dumbening gets worse every day, it would seem. www.newsweek.com/louisiana-pi...

I mean, yeah.

Ah, finally, culinary culture for our age.

I don't know how much American you can get.

Future findings that I predict: "...review establishes that TDS is primarily related to fluoride consumption, vaccination, and the teratogenic effects of the woke mind virus, the latter of which the CDC has been given a mandate to focus on exclusively" #MedSky davidson.house.gov/2025/5/rep-w...

If the Canadian PM really wanted to get under Donald's skin, he'd set up vaccination clinics at the border. I would absolutely love to see it.

The stock market is the cat's paw of the 1%; you want real data about how screwed we are? Pay attention to the ports.

This is the kind of horrible dreck you hear before "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" shoots up on the Best Sellers List because people think it's non-fiction. Gottenyu. Who are we if we know nothing of history? angrywhitemen.org/2025/05/07/e...

As a Medicaid provider, I hate that so many of my patients are at risk of losing coverage because the party they likely voted for is keen to slash and burn like there's no tomorrow. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Reminder: America focused on being great in no small part because it made the world around it great as well. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

And hey! We're doing away with NIOSH on top of all this. Madré de Díos, the next crossover pandemic is going to catch us with our trousers down and won't stop until it's reached our tonsils. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Okay, for the crazy betting industry, I'll give 2:1 on Brucellosis epidemic, 4:1 on Listeriosis, and 25:1 on bovine tuberculosis re-emerging. #IDSky #Medsky

At the risk of getting my hackles raised because "Darwinian" has become synonymous with "survival of the fittest", I might point out that a certain first-term president survived COVID because we subjected him to every experimental treatment under the sun. #MedSky #IDSky

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

The new tap for Surgeon General didn't complete her residency (to her credit, stopped in her final year), thinks that medical error/medication is one of the top causes of death in the USA (it's not), and thinks that chronic disease is all caused by metabolic disease. Oy gevalt. #MedSky

Holy Hell. The new HHS org chart is insane. Ryan White Fund gone, taking chunks out of Indian Health Services, rural health funding?! #Medsky #IDSky ffis.org/wp-content/u...

So even if we take DOGE's 'cost saving' at face value (don't, obviously), that's 160 billion saved, with probably 135 billion in taxpayer costs per this estimate. So, for all the havok, 25 billion, is what DOGE's chaos has caused us. Maybe. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dog...

So, TV plotline: JD Vance is an energy vampire who bored Pope Francis to death. #WhatWeDoInTheShadows #PopeFrancis

Humour is, as ever, our stalwart weapon in the face of the appalling darkness ahead. Hear hear, satirists, humourists, and you with the courage and temerity to laugh at the overwhelming-- It reminds others how not to be afraid. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Please, those of you who can vote, urge others to do likewise. Mike Johnson is no friend to the needy. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Or, again, you can be reminded that the Wakefield study was flawed, horrible, unethical, and is still the driving force behind woeful stupidity. #IDSky #MedSky

Possibly one of the best obituaries, posted 2 days late. #History

Absolute necessities. #Books #Booksky

PSA testing being the mammography for men, will be interesting to see if this can rival that particular 30-second-finger-up-the-butt that repels most men when most women are willing to endure annual Oreo-breast-squishing that is way less comfy. #MedSky www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is on point, the rampant destruction of the American optimism in favour of oligarchy. Oh, and racism, plenty of that, too. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never forget. #History

I mean, yes.

Excellent advice #Medsky #Pediatrics #IDSky

Bloody disgrace that caused an exceptional scientist out. #MedSky #IDSky

The Brits are savage 🔥

Bloody well-said. Now drop this stupid goddamned Brexit nonsense and smarten up. #TheGuardian #TheObserver #EU #Brexit

This is exactly the problem.

This is the problem: the stunning incompetence and complete lack of consequence for it. Everyone wants to emulate a shameless leader, and the end result is straight autocracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yes but how can we engage meaningfully with this information, like making sure that their phone numbers are given to every telemarketer ever?
