A pleasure to have in class.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

Yes, I need to work on a writing assignment for my class, but isn't it more important to email my little sister a detailed survey of the episodes I consider to be the best starter Columbos?

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

If there is one principle that medical and nursing experts hammer in, it's to make sure that after a major health event the patient is allowed to take an extended series of 20-minute work calls.

Yes, I spoke to my Senate colleague Mitch McConnell today at his hospital and he is feeling [Jim-dandy]! He spoke to me for [20] minutes about [Iran] while he [did one-armed push-ups].

So Mitch McConnell, if he is indeed alive, may be completely out of control of his own body as any medical wishes he had are being overridden by powerful Republican men playing politics. What a shame.

Platner's story about not knowing his tattoo was a Nazi tattoo never worked. The correct response to realizing that you had a foul hate symbol on your skin would be to try to claw it off with your fingernails. It would be to make the laser appointment THAT DAY.
