Pediatric Psychologist at a hospital and medical school Early-Onset Psychosis There are several clinicians named Pete Bachman. I could be any of them. None of my posts are medical advice. These are my own views, whoever I am.

The Bills have seized the mandate of heaven. Our time is now, no table shall be left standing.
This is a real: Pope Leo XIV was gifted a Buffalo Bills jersey.

The Diocese of Buffalo said Bishop Fisher met with the Pope on Monday to discuss the ongoing bankruptcy filing, among other issues.

Pope Leo was said to have "expressed his gratitude for this symbol of hometown pride." #billsmafia

Sharks absolutely get cancer, and people claiming otherwise are pseudoscientific grifters preying on the desperate.

Even if sharks did not get cancer, eating shark would not cure your cancer any more than eating LeBron James would make you better at basketball.
What I’ve learned from Bluesky is that the Blue Jays are history’s greatest heroes.
Interesting thing (I think) for
Bills fans: the song Shout was debuted in 1959 by the Isley Brothers.
Should I identify with Bluey’s dad this much?

My quote of the day

How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

I wish them safe flying and a safe return

This is the way.

Children don't get a say in who their parents/caregivers are, or how the choices made by the adults in their lives affect them.
adding a special prayer tonight for the children of parents who take medical advice from the current US President or Secretary of Health and Human Services

Just thinking: I am a double-boarded physician-scientist at @uclahealth.org, but I grew up in poverty. Gov't provided the welfare & foodstamps that aided my refugee family. Gov't grants subsidized my education.

I am only where I am today bc of the #America that was. And it makes me want to cry.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

- ICE is hiring more health care providers to work in its detention centers to fight a surge in deaths.

- Bird flu has infected dozens of poultry flocks

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.

At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.
