Whoa. I really thought this inhumane sack would outlive us all.
Good luck to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in tomorrow's NYC election!

Good luck to California in tomorrow's redistricting vote! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

This is so true. It's also true for our behavioral health professionals. They struggle day in and day out.

Who takes care of the people who care for us? Why do we expect superhuman resilience from these people?
Moral distress should NOT be seen as an occupational hazard of practicing medicine.
California!

Special election day is this Tuesday for Prop 50! That's 2 days from today.

Vote YES.

Fuck Trumpism.
I don't like being sick on Halloween. This is not fun. I demand my money back. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
Does the TV doctor not know the definition of the word "insurance"?

Also, I will just say that the new CMS communications and materials are lackluster, IMHO.

But, what do I know? "I am just a [local government worker], Jim, not a [federal regulator]." โœจ

Got tired of all the negativity all around.
Went rogue at work this morning. Getting good engagement and fun reactions ๐Ÿ˜

White rabbit has been rescued and is now safe. If anyone in the Simi Valley area is missing a white rabbit with red eyes that is litter trained, let me know.

But, really, anyone missing a rabbit in 93065?

Lots of passive aggressive things happening in the women's bathroom this morning. ๐ŸŽช
Gotta love it when the spouse's J-RPG pulls out an obscure vocabulary word. Today's gem?

*Obsequiously.*

Used in a sentence: "MAGA heeds Trump's words obsequiously."

It's Halloween season: an excuse to misuse makeup like I'm 5.
Love this tracker from UPenn. My favorite is the expense breakdown. USDA Farm Service spending is up 788.7% YTD. Farmers can STFU. TIPS interest is up almost 200% over the past 90 days, understandably. Wild data. Great charts. Props to econ/fin nerds. ๐Ÿ‘

And, now, the project will cost more, too. Up by a smidge of a few dozen millions in just a couple of days.

I am so shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Aha, so, the new WH ballroom project has already grown in size from a capacity of 650 to 999 people, and the construction hasn't received all the approvals...

Just you wait. We'll end up with an ugly ass, half-built Trump Tower as the East Wing.

I attended yesterday's LexisNexis Protege webinar. All I could think about as I watched Protege draft legal eagle documents was just how the Spreadsheet was supposed to revolutionise work and how much paper pushing we still do. AI is a glorified Spreadsheet iteration, not the cotton gin, people.

I just have to say that I am exceptionally proud of Moldova's strides toward EU membership.

And, I also realized that my passport expired. ๐Ÿ˜‚
My least favorite part of grief is that it just doesn't end. Time does not heal like people say - it's a myth. I just go on and play pretend like the gaping hole isn't there.
