Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up.

Never. Talk. To. Cops.

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
