the LLMs can be defeated by POETRY, its only fair the ai can be defeated by ART

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Jarred Patak sauce is like using Ragu/Prego. GET OVER IT AND EAT. I cook and bake a lot. Sometimes you just want dinner on the table and butter sauce or spaghetti sauce from a jar is better than nothing. Sometimes you buy presliced bread. Sometimes you can make it from scratch.

Staggering jump in average diesel prices over the last 168 hours: Texas ⬆️98c/gal New Mexico ⬆️91c/gal North Carolina ⬆️89c/gal Arizona ⬆️89c/gal Tennessee ⬆️87c/gal Mississippi ⬆️87c/gal Georgia ⬆️85c/gal West Virginia ⬆️82c/gal Florida ⬆️80c/gal Louisiana ⬆️80c/gal

I don’t know if this was prearranged with the school—the fact that Prasad was forced out previously is suggestive. But either way, he shouldn’t be back at UCSF. Nor should he work in government.

why are taters the only thing we’ve totted

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty EM doctor: I don’t care which one of you but one of you needs to admit the cup.

FIFTY CENTS IN ONE WEEK. This is 9/11 and Gulf War numbers. But worse because I’m the one paying for gas. (9/11 was med school in a city, Gulf War was elementary)

I love my Mini Cooper. It doesn’t even come up to the windows of this monstrosity.

How to win in November

Feel like parenting was sold to me as more time joyfully throwing leaves at one another & in the air, and less time planning, purchasing, prepping, cooking, & cleaning up at least three meals per day every single day.

Son16: I really like this song *plays song* Me or Husband: that samples this other song *plays other song* Son16: that’s my favorite song by that artist We’ve done this many times. Sometimes he already knows which song is sampled.

Looks like Lou Holtz's dream came true

The African crested rat (Lophiomys imhausi) is a rabbit-sized rodent with patterned coat. They have no natural predators which puzzled scientists because they don't display obvious deterrents to large African predators. That's when studies found they were packing enough poison to kill an elephant.

Even the FOX NEWS medical contributor is calling out this bullshit.

The first rule of science club is: TELL EVERYONE ABOUT SCIENCE CLUB! There's safety in numbers.

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

Dr. Casey Means defended her credentials to be the next surgeon general during last week’s hearing. We reviewed the medical experience of all doctors who held the post in past 50 years. www.healthbeat.org/2026/03/04/c... #publichealth #medSky #IDsky #episky

Have you ever asked a PhD what their PhD was about and asked one additional question? They light up like little kids on their birthday full of cake.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

One of my fav recurring posts. Twice a year.

My poor med student. Every patient he picked up was more confusing than the next that I was actually happy for him to see sepsis/neutropenic fever and no one should be happy about sepsis/neutropenic fever.

I think it is absolutely scandalous that in just one year of an HHS under the leadership RFK.Jr the US has lost its Measles elimination status and is now on track to do same for perinatally acquired Hepatitis B. These are huge public health wins that took years to accomplish.

nature is so beautiful

My new work hair clip

funding USAID (an agency which Trump and Musk illegally destroyed) cost each individual American taxpayer about $64 annually while saving millions of lives around the world. instead, we've got:

What if I moved to Maine and ran for Senator? My upside: liberal (actual) who listens and hates Nazis. My downside: I hate the cold and would whine about that.* *will tolerate mocking of this fact for votes and handmade sweaters/mittens/hats/socks

And so now it begins. The rollback of all gender affirming care for adults as well as minors. This was always the plan.

This disappeared. But I won’t let it

I went to an elementary school on a US soil military base. So all of them?

US people: we would like to do the right thing US institutions: oh, no, we cannot permit that

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

Some of my favorite MDs were in military before/during/after med school/residency.

Pretty sure not all Dems.

This all goes back to a core question of "Do we as humans owe anything to other humans?" Democrats are firmly in the "yes" category. Republicans are firmly in the "no" category. I cannot explain this any more clearly.

Has no one in this administration been to the grocery store recently? Like a regular one?

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Vance is LYING. "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1) signed by Trump on 4 July 2025, introduced major Medicaid funding cuts – est. at ~ billion to over billion over a decade, significantly threatening financial stability of rural hospitals – linked to potential closures of over 300 rural hospitals.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

This is the not-so-hidden secret of our university. Just *one* history survey section I teach generates 3x my salary for the university. And I can teach 9 classes a year!

I've always wanted to do an anthology called BIG DAMN EXPLOSIONS where the only requirement for the stories is that they must have a big damn explosion in them. I think we could get an interesting range of stories with that.

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back. It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.
