I thought he’d have forgotten this completely by now after he was so upset about the UN escalator.

My autocorrect has some interesting opinions about what I was up to this afternoon

Mets: Please cease Metsing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Well, looks like “we’ll replace the couch when we move” is now off the table

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy. - They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism - Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway It's very different from the press conference. Pass it on.

So much of the hate toward cities seems to come from this veneration of suburbs - “Real America.” They can’t fathom anyone wanting a life where they don’t drive everywhere door to door and everyone stays inside.

Why doesn’t the UN have something like the Oscars and start playing the move-along music when a speech runs long?

Love that the *Republican* candidate is threatening to out the wealthy donors making shady offers 🤣

From an #OBGYN grad school classmate who is the most brilliant person I have ever met in my life and should be Surgeon General or HHS Secretary right now if we were a sane country

I like 4/5 if they’re facing the direction the train is going, but I avoid them if I have to ride backwards (or I’ll sit sideways in 5).

The EHR I use has embedded AI features, including an assistant in the reporting module. If I wasn’t already avoiding it due to fear of water shortages, this would scare me off for good

I almost missed Fat Bear Week!

Last night I was too mad at RFK to be online so I did these instead

Moral dilemma: we canceled Hulu Plus, but the billing cycle is such that we’ll still have it through the end of the month. Since they already have the money can I watch one more Only Murders in the Building?

The physicians in the room for this press conference stood by and let the non-physicians present rambling soliloquies of factually incorrect information. I think this is the thing I’m angriest about.

You’ve tried them all, but have you tried them all AT ONCE?

Posting this perfect AP headline and then I’m done with the internet apnews.com/live/donald-...

This MAGA/MAHA/Trump/RFK Jr/Dr Oz/Dr Bhattacharya press conference right now is quite possibly the worst press conference—from the viewpoints of medicine, public health, & medical ethics—that I’ve ever seen. These men are so shameless & deeply irresponsible. Wherever happened to science & evidence?

Just scanning through this thread made me ill. Pseudoscience and stigma and conspiracy theories, oh my.

If I get raptured tomorrow people better not be able to hunt me down in the great beyond to deal with drug questions

Currently, the strongest study we have that examined this is by Ahlqvist et al (2024), a study of 2.5 MILLION children...its a prospectively controlled study and adjusted for confounders (environment, genetic). It showed no association between acetaminophen in pregnancy & autism

Bluesky, just here to say I appreciate you when things are otherwise no laughing matter

True Stories of My Past: Me: “this weird thing happened” IT: “it’s not possible, you must be misunderstanding” Me: “here’s a screenshot!” IT: “… you found an obscure glitch that has to be escalated to the vendor”

Glad to see a bold and decisive move that isn’t focus grouped to death

As a Bills fan I’m giving myself a pass to support the Patriots today because fuck Aaron Rodgers. 💉

“Train Americans” only takes a couple weeks, right? No blip in operations at all while we get unemployed new grad business majors up to software engineering speed?

We’re getting the Republican budget with a few nominal concessions. Fun times.

What’s everybody’s rapture outfit?!

See My Vest

In dentistry news, pretty sure I already lost the temporary filling 🤪

… uh, my Democratic senator happens to be… Chuck Schumer

I have a smart, wily orange tabby. He was trained by a reformed feral and can recognize the sound of the cheese drawer from anywhere in the apartment.

Thousands of unemployed white American specialist doctors ready to start work immediately, here’s your chance!

Say you preordered a new book to support a writer, read and enjoyed it. However you don’t really have space to keep a lot of books at home. Is taking it to a secondhand bookstore okay? (Writer wouldn’t benefit from the resale, but they also don’t benefit from it sitting in my apt…)

I feel like “simultaneously completely ridiculous and deadly serious” is everything right now.

This is some BMJ Christmas Issue level artistry and I love it

Wait, are we getting Charlie Kirk Day off? Maybe I can wrangle a dentist appointment that day?

ASHP made a point to announce that a hospital pharmacist (the person quoted) was now part of ACIP. … read the room, or read the #PharmSky feed maybe?

Aaaand just broke a chunk off a tooth. I guess “emergency dentist” is as good a reason as any to leave work early on a Friday…

“Safe and effective” isn’t a narrative. It’s based on review of data by FDA professionals with the medical expertise to judge its quality and applicability. This is not the war on drugs anyone wanted

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! 🏴‍☠️

How the shit is there a mosquito in here?

I don’t fear death for myself. I stress on behalf of the people who do.

The gif of Jian-Yang from Silicon Valley greeting his fridge with “hello, my cold friend” has gone missing at the worst possible time

Nothing like getting woken up by a headache.

Whew. 15 min break. Let's recap: > CDC officials learned of Covid vaccine recommendation change via X post > RFK Jr. can't show scientific evidence for changing childhood vax schedule > RFK Jr. gets no briefing from agency public health experts > CDC officials "very nervous" about new ACIP

Susan Monarez says RFK Jr. told her to commit to decisions in advance, without reviewing evidence and to dismiss vaccine experts.

What does this mean for people who already paid cash? Do they contact their individual plans about reimbursement?
