So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban.
“I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.”

I was very sad to learn of the passing of David Mitchell,
a cancer patient who turned his own battle into a fight to make medicines more affordable. Here, @pharmalot.bsky.social gets at why Mitchell was so special.

With political savvy and outrage over drug prices, advocate David Mitchell was ahead of his time
David Mitchell, who helped launch Patients for Affordable Drugs to raise awareness of high drug prices and seek to bring them down, died at age 75.

I bumped into a post from @ashleygwinter.bsky.social when I got an alert about a different post and wanted to make sure her (incredibly scary) medical stuff was improved.
She doesn't seem to be on BlueSky hardly ever, and I'm rarely at the other place. However, thought I'd post this here

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Feeling irritated, yet again in 2025, that the RCT planned by Ken Mukamal was derailed in 2018.
The idea that a trial that would have answered whether ETOH has CV benefits was too biased for not assessing cancer risks missed how we gain knowledge over time.

Officials in other countries are warning about the health hazards of alcohol in any amount. Americans are still told that moderate drinking is safe. What gives?
