Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.
wonderful reminder of the funniest dynamic of the mayoral race, where sliwa clearly liked mamdani and was delighted to see him humiliate cuomo also, more politicians should do this! get your flu shots!
Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · 4d ago"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...
The fact that it took players hiring a lawyer to be able to anonymously ask the President of Arizona State to suspend the hockey coach is so ridiculous. One of their teammates will never live a normal life again after a practice that never should have happened. The coach needs to be fired!
How this guy still has a job is beyond me. The players should not be the ones who need to ask. Where’s the AD? The university admin? www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Most people’s Garmins tell them they’re slacking…my watch apparently is delusional. (For the record my fastest 5K ever was about 17 min, last time I broke 19 was 2010)
1/ I had one of those moments in clinic today that completely stopped me in my tracks. One of my follow-up patients came in with a new caregiver. The caregiver looked at me and said: “Do you remember me?” I didn’t.
I know there’s some nerds on here that would enjoy this as much as I am

I don’t have access to any patient-specific details. But as an infectious disease specialist I can say with 100% certainty: having measles was bad for them. Can’t believe this needs to be said 🤦🏻♂️
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."

![When I saw the first headline about her demise, it mentioned that she was eighty, and it staggered me to think that she was the same age as Donald Trump, because she was utterly profoundly magnificently opposite to him in every way. Born into extreme poverty in rural Tennessee, she made her own way with massive talent and ambition that seems never to have been decoupled from kindness and principle. Born into great wealth, he was helped along into late middle age by his father and then by his inheritance from that racist real estate tycoon father. He learned a particular kind of ruthless unscrupulousness from Fred Trump and from Joe McCarthy's righthand man, Roy Cohn, as he stumbled, failed, scammed, lied, litigated, and got picked up again and again by Fred.
No matter how rich Donald Trump is he will never have enough because the poverty isn't material, it's emotional and spiritual. In exactly the same way, Parton demonstrates that she had inexhaustible spiritual and emotional riches even as a kid growing up in a one-room shack. That's evident in her huge hit "Coat of Many Colors," about wearing, because of the family's poverty, mended, patched, patchwork clothes her mother sewed:
My coat of many colors that my mama made for me
Made only from rags but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors my mama made for me
She describes how other children mocked her but "And, oh, I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich/ And I told them of the love my mama sewed in every stitch." Love might be the very essence of the difference between the two of them. The Partons were so poor that they lived in a one-room shack without running water or electricity. Her parents paid the doctor who attended her birth with a sack of cornmeal.

5.) Be kind, particularly in peer review. Academia is hard and kindness goes a long way. Your job in a peer review is not to sound smarter than the authors, but to collaborate on a contribution to science. Lead with kindness.
