Great class this evening, from what I recall through the heatstroke. The building was 900°, look at how flush my face is! Good thing it’s cool outside. “Spring semester”
Please note the pop tart choice in the vending machine. Frosted strawberry, the one to rule them all.

This POS grown ass #maga clown tried to assault a teenager and got his ass beaten. This movement and these people are a sickness, a cancer to our country.

You're afraid right now. But there is safety in numbers. Get together with friends, colleagues. We have the power, it is now bundled up in potential energy--time to make it kinetic by moving together! H/T @anildash.com
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

One of the things that Epstein files showed was that the rich and powerful look at the rest of us as their playthings and are insulated from consequences like feudal lords. If that doesn't awake you to the fact this is class warfare I don't know what will.

I find myself on the wrong side of the counter, without wine and cooking dinner. I do get these yummy almonds as a snack though.

If you read my book on collision sports, TBI, & ethics, you'll note that the technological imperative, the notion that we can substantially reduce risk thru improved tech, is part of the #ManufactureOfDoubt.

A query for #HistMed colleagues: is anyone aware of good histories of ALS? I know Barron Lerner's chapter on Lou Gehrig in his book When Illness Goes Public (2006), but can't think of anything else.

So the question here is mis-specified. There is no "alternative" research funding in any way that would make American biomedical research whole for researchers to seek out. 1/ www.statnews.com/2026/02/03/p... via @statnews.com
We asked whether principal investigators have plans in place for how research can continue without them
Researchers must be mindful of unexpected events that may leave them incapacitated or unable to lead their research projects or labs.
