Every time I see an interview with the Secretary of Transportation he’s talking about how terrified he is of the subway
Duffy: "She wants to take people off the road and she's taxing people to do it, raising money for the subway system in New York. But then, to put people in the subway -- the subway is dirty! There's violence. There's criminals. It's not safe ... By the way, I like freedom. Let me drive my car."

I keep checking, but there's no end in sight for the heat wave in India. Reminiscent of the opening scene in "The Ministry for the Future," this is just brutal, deadly heat and humidity.

touches on sports psychology, biomechanics, data collection, pitchers, quarterbacks, Parkinson’s, and more in just under 45 minutes. Great listen.
Today’s PTFO guest, Tom House, is a guy the best quarterbacks and pitchers all know.

He’s the world’s top throwing expert — and clients include Tom Brady, Greg Maddux, Drew Brees, Nolan Ryan, and on.

But that’s just the start of why you should hear his incredible story ⤵️ youtu.be/3v677c0URIg?...

Heat season is here in the global North. I’ve had four #heatrelatedillness patients on two shifts ,all elderly, all on diuretics.
Remember to ask:
Where do you go to avoid the heat? Stay hydrated. Modify activities. Meds make u more vulnerable.

working theory:

the uneasiness I get from watching my toddler navigate physical space is creating a Pavlovian response in my MLB viewing experience when watching players track down high fly balls

“We don’t need more houses if they aren’t in dense cities!” Ok, but I don’t know how to make a bunch of Americans fundamentally different than they are. People really do like their big houses and their yards. They aren’t pretending.

What’s something that’s a banal observation in your field, but which really blows students’ minds the 1st time they encounter it?

I’ll go 1st—when we talk about how technological history gets narrated & I say "no human being has ever lived in a historical period—they’ve only lived in the present"

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
