Excellent brief discussion on what to consider before we share content. It’s important to me to share what is accurate and relevant. I don’t want to be part of the misinformation or disinformation group.

All of Micheal Cohen’s writing is excellent but this one takes it up a notch. He clearly paints the picture the effects of incarceration allowing others to have a glimpse how it changes a person. This is very personal writing-raw, and painful.

@drjengunter.bsky.social once again provides a biting, clear, and accurate view of an important issue. There is nothing pro-life about the GOP. Democrats do NOT need to run a “pro-life” candidate ever. Ezra Klein needs to rethink his position.

I enjoyed this analysis. I find the discussion on collective blame to be an excellent reminder for us all to avoid that trap. The review of McCarthyism and Salem Witch hunts provide the perfect examples.

I needed this today. The section about the total student population vs those who were in attendance is enlightening. It was less than 10% of the student population-CK didn’t speak for a generation & doesn’t represent what the majority of young adults believe.

Lesson 2 is important for many quality metrics, not just BB therapy post MI. Lesson 4 was fascinating. I inherited patients from retired providers on beta blockade for their HTN. I haven’t changed the meds because their BP in the office is good. I will change now.
