Flu season is just beginning, but doctors are already on high alert
While flu levels are still low, a strain that's wreaked havoc in the U.K. and Canada is behind most cases so far in the U.S., mostly affecting kids.

So, do you think the Panthers can pull it off??

#KeepPounding @panthersbluesky.bsky.social #NFLsky #FootballSky
The Carolina Panthers (6-5) will face the San Francisco 49ers (7-4) in Levi’s Stadium on Monday Night Football on ESPN (and locally in Charlotte on WBTV-Channel 3). Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. It’ll mark the first time the teams have played since Oct. 9, 2022 — in other words, the first time since former Carolina superstar Christian McCaffrey was traded to San Francisco.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

With #Thanksgiving and holidays around the corner, what will your family table conversation sound like??

Serious question. 🤔

🦃
DJT called a reporter “piggy”. Question is: had you been there next to the President, what would YOU have said? The absolute pinnacle of a male Washington reporter's career would be standing nearby when Trump calls a woman "Piggy," so you can say, "Mr. President, your treatment of a colleague is out of bounds, and I ask you respectfully to apologize to her right now in front of us all with the cameras on." So they yank your card, and you get called back to Des Moines. Des Moine's not so bad, is it? At least you can say yes when your daughter asks, "Were you really the guy who told the president off when he called a woman a pig?" As opposed to, "Dad, my friends are saying you were one of those guys who just stood there and didn't say a word when Trump called a woman a pig." What do you say to that? "Want a new bike?"

Interesting read:

“Only by addressing both institutional and cognitive dimensions of science denial can we hope to promote a more informed public discourse on scientifically salient issues.”

Cutting any one of these areas of funding is like severing an artery. To reduce HIV/AIDS, STD, Hepatitis & TB funding by 63% is suicidal on a societal level.

The best AI won’t replace radiologists — it’ll disappear into the workflow. Quietly anticipating needs, prioritizing cases & letting radiologists focus on what matters most: patients. 📖
