Sir Patrick Stewart joins Dolly and Tim as lost legends. We are allowed to be good to each other, you know? So maybe we can put some more effort into doing good - in their memory.

Consult-Liaison Psychiatry Life: Perpetually confused by colleagues who seem to think I do not consider primary psychiatric disorders in my differential. I swear, y'all, I'd be down to agree with you if the problem wasn't delirium. But... It's delirium. #psychsky #medsky #psychiatry #rant

They told us millennials the future was going to be like this but instead we just got priced out of home ownership and global warming 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

On behalf of daughters with abusive mothers of some form or flavor, I'd like to extend a hearty public "Fuck you" to Vivek Ramaswamy. 😊

Let's stop saying the AI "went rogue." AI does unanticipated things when given reckless tasks *by its corporations,* and companies should be held liable like any other biz doing ill-advised experiments. AI lacks agency. Their companies are trying to trick you. @edzitron.com knows what's up.

Goddamn I love good concert energy. If you have a chance to see Arrows in Action, don't sleep on it. These guys have that presence 🔥 #poppunk

I had a dream that the world as we know it was ending and falling apart, all the gasoline was about to go into shortage, and most people still just got up and went to work the next day. Hm.

Anybody remember the Hatch Act? Anybody? Oh, nevermind...

I find it oddly fitting that the president is calling AI "SI," which in my field is Suicidal Ideation. We are killing ourselves with the technocracy, alright. #medsky #psychsky

Seeing Fox News sign off on this joint media statement is a welcome shock. "The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting." Keep going. Don't stop.

Imagine the society we could have if we invested as many resources in Human Intelligence as we have in Artificial Intelligence. Here for the HI-boosters among us. #AI #resist

Hot take: We shouldn't be in a place where we must ponder the question, "What is the cause of the obvious neurological deficits in this sitting member of congress?" But what do I know? I'm just a brain doctor who thinks our leaders should be capable of a clock-draw. #medsky

Better Offline monologue: I run through the nonsensical, pro-AI lab scare campaign driven by a former researcher, how the media keeps falling for grifts, and how dangerous AI is already in the wrong hands - those of Anthropic and OpenAI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

One of the priorities of forthcoming administrations should be clarifying which law enforcement branch arrests the president. If my local PD can detain me for graffiti, someone should be in charge of slapping cuffs on the president for blatant bribery and demolishing public buildings.

I taught a trans health primer to my residents for the first time since the 2024 election, and I was not prepared for how anxious I felt. It's not a reason to stop. If anything, it's a reason to continue. But man, I had no idea the public assault on queer identity had gotten to me like that.

Only a true genius would effectively start enacting sanctions on his own country. Really gonna savor my bottle of Empress Gin. Crown Royal folks, they're coming for you.

US slaps import ban on Canadian alcohol and other goods

It is the latest escalation in a trade war between the two countries, and comes as Canadian retaliatory tariffs on US goods come into force.

I wish everyone knew they could get their audiobooks through their indie bookstore!

I can thank Lex of the Past for registering my little self-pubbed novel with the copyright office, so I can now collect more from Anthropic than it ever made on KDP. Protect your work. LLM's are built on theft. #writingcommunity

Dolly & Tim may "just" be celebrities, but there is something powerful in the way artists can profoundly impact millions of people - and they can choose to do so with class, dignity, and respect for others. What a gift to leave a legacy of lifting up those who felt outcast or misunderstood.

Tim Curry, too? Why are all the wrong 80-year-olds dying?

Man, Dolly Parton is such a stark contrast to the Great Orange Big Mac Disposal. Born the same year but clearly not cut from the same cloth.

Al Green fighting for us even though he won't be re-elected.

My rage against the Technocracy might be turning me into a Linux user. Zorin makes the computer go faster, y'all. So. Much. Faster.

Hospitals and units around the country keep closing, and the news seems to be slow to keep up with all of it. 2027 is looking dark for healthcare. Oregon lost one of its three geriatric psychiatry units in the state this month (Hillsboro MC), and journalists are nowhere to be found. @oregonian.com
