RIP Jimmy Carter. You were a truly good man. I hope we see your like in the Oval again someday.

And fwiw - #unnecessaryCare has to be the cruelest bon mot ever uttered, right? [yes, I know what it means - this is stark relief]
I sincerely hope I never reach the point where I consider caring to be needless, for surely that will be the end of my personal humanity.

Original quoted video is like saying Israel is saving Palestinians from choking by starving them to death. Unconscionable.
Health insurance is an utterly pointless industry. Full. Stop.
"Unnecessary care" yeah all those people going to the doctor for funsies
United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

What if everyone used headphones at the airport instead of talking on speakerphone/facetime/watching videos at full blast in public?

How can they even stand to do it? Absolute pollution

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.

Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

As an emergency physician from day 1 of the pandemic, who was offered a COVID vaccine the first week it was available, I had watched young, healthy people die in alarming ways, but I was worried about sticking this stuff into my arm that was approved under an emergency authorization. 1/
Today’s class session in my introductory public health class is going to be entirely devoted to an overview of how vaccines work and how they are researched and regulated. I believe it is my responsibility as a public health professor to share this information and be available to discuss questions.

SUCH a relief to know we'll still be getting the occasional "women with great hair feeling gothic houses" threads over here
Time now for my occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

For 30 years gothic romance, with its iconic covers, was a staple of the publishing industry. Then it just seemed to vanish.

Let's look back at the gothic genre and try to uncover its dark, forbidding secret...

Ok let’s talk about #remoteWork for a second. Many, many office jobs don’t have to be in-person. Just because you don’t want to learn new ways to lead doesn’t mean your folks should have to commute in. Don’t relegate your biz to the dustbin of history. Evolve. Figure it out.

Hey, I know journalism probably has some nuance in it, but what part of “cop kills baby” is difficult to compose in the headline? If you aren’t infuriated by the death of an infant, then your humanity is vacated. See also: Gaza. End transmission. apnews.com/article/poli...
