I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

Leading with compassion and honesty is insanely difficult. Taking risk while accepting accountability requires strength that is genuinely soul destroying. But it’s the only way. It is the only way. Find your strength. You will get things wrong and you will pay for it. But you will keep trying. 👊❤️

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

What’s wild is that only a few years ago, “prediction markets” had a whole different name and you used to have to go to Reno or Atlantic City to participate, otherwise it was a crime. Now we can’t even regulate them.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

I have so much to teach and so little time. On average, a person sneezes in their sleep 46 times each night. The woolly mammoth was still alive when the Taj Mahal was built. If you live in London, there is a 60% chance that you are related to Winston Churchill.

“Netflix’s competitors have been turning away from the binge-drop model in favor of more or less weekly schedules, because they’ve realized — or relearned — that the time when a show’s not on the air is as important to building its audience as the time when viewers are actually watching.”

Watching TV Used to Feel Like Hanging With Your Friends. Then Something Happened That Changed Everything.

Something disturbing is happening to the streaming giant’s ratings. It has only itself to blame.
