Unlike political columnists, physicians study the effects of things they do. We then adjust based on the findings. What we do about the opioid epidemic is called “harm reduction” because it reduces harm. Insisting on sobriety before providing aid does not.

Well I guess it would be nice to have the SCOTUS weigh in on whether its legal for a President to starve citizens. Kind of an important legal question I’d like to see answered. But why bother doing your job if you have the option to avoid pissing off the dictator? apple.news/AkkR3jpxWQ_K...

Patti Smith’s Horses came out 50 years ago today and tonight I had the extreme privilege of seeing her and the original band play the entire album for us in Seattle. I am still awestruck. Rock and roll saves souls.

It’s not that they appear to be caving. It’s that they might be caving without discipline, unity, or messaging. Historically, this is where the Old Democrats always snatch defeat out of a free win. 1/

Good god I am tired of major media telling us Democrats can’t win unless they “move to the center.” I am no ideologue but there is obviously a progressive constituency that has little representation, so how about shut up and let people vote how they want? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/o...

It would be great if sub shops could provide free subs for one day in November.
It would be a wonderful way to supplement the loss of SNAP, honor the spirit of Thanksgiving and protest Trump's unnecessary ICE agents.

Agree completely. It’s the Reagan Poison (“Government *is* the problem”) in the well that brought us, eventually, to where we are today. Capitalism is not the enemy. It’s capitalism that isn’t subject to the will of the people.
Rewatching Zohran's victory speech bit by bit and it's hard not to be emotional about it - it's an appeal to hope and courage but also to the fundamental idea of living in society, together. Feels like we've been starved, often deliberately, of that kind of thinking

Daylight savings times was concocted by the radical left and people think Donald Trump is too weak to do anything about it, that’s what they’re saying. Other world leaders are *laughing* at you Mr. President.

Penalty kicks decide nothing. It’s literally tossing a coin after 90+ minutes. A good tournament structure should seek to minimize PKs. The current MLS Cup maximizes opportunities for decisions made by coin flip. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
