Wow!

7 hip replacements instead of the usual 4-5

This HUGE difference is mostly efficiency -
"cleaning the room, making sure everything is set up with all the instruments ready."

This ortho team in Nova Scotia lights the path.

🙏 Zelensky: Russia attacked a passenger train in the Kharkiv region. In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be viewed as terrorism.

In particular, there were more than 200 people on that train. And there were 18 people in the car that was hit. 4 people died…

Good morning. U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for a status hearing in Chicago's Broadview conspiracy case against six Operation Midway Blitz protesters.

Four Democrats are among them, including Kat Abughazaleh.
Federal prosecutors in Chicago have responded to this defense motion in the Broadview conspiracy case, offering perhaps the most detail yet about the allegations:

Good to see more research into the neurological issues seen in ##MyalgicEncephalomyelitis.

Interesting that there is a difference between LC and ME.

To be fair, public health policy everywhere is at odds with our understanding of COVID's long-term harm.

Studies offer insights into the health risks and burdens faced by people who have had COVID infections. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has narrowed COVID vaccine recommendations and cut research.

Just in case you think I’m just talking hot air by myself…

During 2020 -22, several doctors that worked in Bangladesh asked me…

“Why are you (doctors in rich countries) not doing more to control this?”

It was unfathomable at the time, that we would choose to be sick.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Alberta’s flu season is the deadliest in years, yet the UCP is doubling down on anti-expert rhetoric. While doctors state clearly that higher vaccine uptake would save lives, the government is calling that "false" to cover for their failing health policy. Spin kills. #AbLeg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

This is not normally required.

But when the so-called Premier of Alberta has targeted the justice system as biased, and shows a complete lack of understanding of our system, this is a strong message.

We have an autocratic "government" that does not abide by the rule of law.
