A grassroots movement’s call for Americans not to shop at major chains for 24 hours in an “economic blackout” last week went viral — and now, its organizer is launching a weeklong boycott against Amazon.

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Why “not quite right”? It’s got thick, hyalinized vessels and some compact area with palisading. The cells have gorgeous processes, creating a strikingly “reticular” appearance. And it is TFE3-positive.

By IHC it is diffusely CD34-pos, shows strong nuclear WT1, and contains scattered desmin-pos cells. This is a superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor. Very low grade tumor, often with PRDM10 fusions. Jody Carter, now in Edmonton, wrote this paper. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887307/

#PathSky 79M with a superficial neck mass. Wildly pleomorphic, quite cellular- undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, right? There are basically no mitoses though, the cells have abundant granular-glassy cytoplasm, there is a lot of inflammation, and many bizarre cells have nuclear inclusions.

Some tumor look-a-likes on this Friday:
Chordoid meningioma and chordoma can share similar features of cords of cells in a myxoid background. Chordoma shows diffuse nuclear Brachyury expression whereas chordoid meningioma is positive for SSTR2 helping to differentiate the two 🧠 #pathsky #neuropath

#PathSky 32M with extra-axial, dural-based, frontoparietal mass. Clearly malignant epithelioid cells arranged in cords and nests in a sclerotic background. Looks a lot like a sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and it is strongly MUC4-positive. So, we’re done, right?

Just like Texas rarely sees snow ❄️, every once in a while you will find a primary tumor of the posterior pituitary so keep it in mind during frozen section analysis! Here is a classic example of pituicytoma showing diffuse nuclear positivity for TTF1 #pathsky #neuropath #medsky 🔬 🧠

💰💸 Historian Heather Cox-Richardson called it the greatest data breach in history.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Elon Musk and his team at the "Department of Government Efficiency" (which is NOT an official government department), access to the agency’s federal payments system, which essentially operates as the country’s central bank account.
