Seven years ago today I was taking Al Gore's Climate Reality Leadership course.
In the real world, here are the results of that natural experiment. We don’t have to wonder.

There are rumors that it was a private event attended by a top general. In years past, this would be the plot of a Tom Clancy NOVEL. Today, it's seems totally like what the melon felon would do to justify his "big beautiful ballroom." abcnews.com/Internationa...

So much of a career in emergency medicine can be summed up with the statement: "We're not kink-shaming, we're kink-asking, why?" And how. But mostly, why.
Saw this image of COVID on another platform and sat and stared again. This is why I hate the right-wing media, "influencers," and grifters who have been causing so much more disease and death.
I recently described this timeline as being in the movie Idiocracy. I was wrong. It's an equal mix of that and a sitcom. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I was looking at the radar to plan my day. I saw an alert box near me and wanted to see the advisory. 🤦
From a nursing group I'm in. People won't get vaccines which have been rigorously tested, but they will take unregulated supplements and peptides. We are truly living in the movie Idiocracy
77 hypocrites and criminals in church leadership roles that I easily found in July. Tell me how trans people, drag queens, and immigrants are the problem again. This was far worse than I expected. On the website, zoom out to see other parts of the world sites.google.com/view/religio...
This week has me feeling like I did in 2020. I really don't want to relive all this again. I can't be the only one. I'm so worn out by the mass stupidity.
Today I learned that there is an upper post limit on Twitter if you don't pay for premium. Seems that Musk doesn't want people to defend science and prevent disease.
Here you go antivaxxers and Fauci haters. I made something accurate you can post.
1-2 As I was updating state data, I noticed the percentage of ED visits due to COVID was beginning to climb in a large number of states.

Quick commentary on these stupid things. I swear there are no Republicans that can form an original thought on their own. Further, aren't they the ones who were always bitching about "participation trophies?" reason.com/2014/08/19/5...

I'm willing to bet that after this week a lot of HCWs are going to have had it with unappreciative, science illiterate fools and leave the field soon. I don't blame them.

I took this at Travis AFB when I was part of the team running the mass quarantine of the evacuees from China. We put ourselves at risk when we didn't know what we were dealing with. Too all of the Republicans today, a sincere fuck you. It takes a lot for me to be this angry.
Senator John McCain warned us about Rand Paul when he said, “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”
The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
