When were you all going to tell me we’re using EKGs to carbon-date our patients???

He got the COVID and flu Vaccines like every 79 year old should this is a good thing.
"Cardiovascular age validated by by ECG and found to be 14 years younger than chronological age" is a nonsensical phrase.
I am an internist this is not something we do or write in medical reports.

What was peak #MedTwitter?

What was the moment of greatest optimism for the idea of social media as a major driver of medial education?

I have my answer, but I'm going to keep my powder dry while I listen for your answers (but since this is BlueSky, I wonder if this will generate much heat)

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.

I actually think it's kind of funny @microsoft.com raised the price on Game Pass, since the XBox is the only one of their products that commands any loyalty. They've successfully alienated people from the one product people actually like.

Ghosts of Yōtei is a B minus of a game. More cutscenes than gameplay, a recycled plot, and repetitive and unsatisfying mini games.

Thank you for this important perspective!

Look, I realize you don't watch the films of the Coen brothers to see movies about the triumph of the human spirit, but holy cow is Burn After Reading mean-spirited.

Good lord. It's like they tore up the lyrics of a Toby Keith song and pulled them out of a hat.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

Sure, sending your military to do battle against your own citizens looks awesome, but is it the best long-term solution from a cost standpoint?

Mike Patton is on the record saying that his lyrics focus more on the shape of words than their meaning, but Midlife Crisis destroys me every time.

“I’m a perfectionist, and perfect is a skinned knee.
You’re perfect, yes it’s true.
But without me, you’re only you.”
