One of my favourite records! My sister had a copy and I first listened to it when I was 11 years old. I've owned a copy ever since then (including the copy I stole from my sister).

I finally picked this one up: Keith Jarrett's The Koln Concert. Man, I should have picked this up a long time ago. Over an hour of improvisational jazz piano. Masterful.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

My final patient today was a 4y old getting her routine vaccines (MMR-V and DTaP-Polio boosters). The relief for her parents that she’s better protected from #measles and her sweetness, sitting on her mum’s lap, warm my heart.

Have a peaceful, healthy weekend, friends & colleagues.

Shabbat Shalom

Diet outperforms microbial transplant to drive microbiome recovery in mice - Nature

Experiments in mouse models show that proper recovery of the intestinal microbiota following depletion, with or without faecal microbiota transplant therapy, is dependent on syntrophic interactions that occur only with specific dietary interventions.
