100%. As an older Gen Xer I feel lucky to have lived through an incredible period for theatrical moviegoing. Incredible breadth and depth of subject matter and seriousness, available to everyone at the same price in every major city.
It’s incredibly sad to see it dying.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.
AAP: ‘Stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims’ about vaccines, autism
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website to include false claims linking vaccines and autism, prompting a swift rebuke from the AAP and other medical experts.

It gets lost in the larger crimes, but we should not ignore the incalculable amount of needless low-grade misery and suffering RFK Jr. and MAHA have brought into the world. I have so many patients now who are too suspicious to take anti-nausea or pain medication. Miserable for no reason.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

Is it kinda annoying when you find out doctors are also coders, or start playing a piano beautifully, or finish a novel? Sure.
