Heard Roman Reigns being referred to as “OTC” and had to chuckle. #WWE #medsky #FamMed

According to a recent NCHS report, from 2021-23 data showed 9.3% of people >2yo in US were anemic. More sobering was that 15% of Hispanic, 15.9% of Asian, and 31.4% (1 in 3?!) of Black women were anemic. Truly shocking numbers. #medsky #FamMed

Cleveland sports belong to NE OH and need broad $ support so owners can’t blackmail fans. Potential for a better airport makes this proposal even more intersting. Opinions?

The power and flexibility of the @obsidian.md web clipper is making me rethink my Evernote setup. I’m most often clipping while reading on iOS and Evernote reliance on the share sheet is barbaric compared to this. Customizable hotkey? Templates? AI summary hooks? Yes, yes, and yes. So well done.

Came for the knowledge to help prevent my patients from developing diabetes. Staying for the catchy trial name. MeMeMe? This is next level. (Via @medicine.stitches.today) #medsky #FamMed

Went down a rabbit hole trying to find a definitive answer RE: best practice for deprescribing PPIs in patients with uncomplicated GERD. Surprised there's no high quality evidence. Found this article from an AAFP review in case others were interested. #medsky #FamMed

I am legitimately surprised that the iOS reduce motion cues accessibility feature has been this effective. I can actually read as a passenger in the car and not get super nauseated for the first time in my life. I’m putting this testimonial out there for others out there who easily get carsick.

So Beats gives neat little stickers with product purchases, but Apple stopped? What gives?

Jameis Winston is the perfect Browns QB. I’d compare him to a slot machine. Most people know they don’t pay out and are a waste of money. Buuut, they sure are exciting when they hit and it’s bound to happen to someone, so we keep pulling the lever. #NFL #Browns

There are few greater litmus tests for loyalty than being a Cleveland Browns fan. If someone admits to being a Browns fan you know they will be there for you in the trenches when bombs are dropping. Hold on to their friendship, they will believe in you when no reasonable person should. #nfl #browns

The Age of Apple Intelligence begins. The machine nails it. Wife is buying something expensive ✅ The house needs waffles ✅ A kid is sick ✅ - I get this message 2-3 days a week. 😂

This is crazy impressive. Kevin Noki built a working FlatMac prototype from Frogdesign. I love that there are people out there talented enough to create builds like this. Hats off to this designer. #3Dprinting

Every new folding phone review makes me think Apple will release a folding iPad Mini device first. Simply more compelling with today's tech - less sacrifices w/camera, battery, and thinness. Would be curious to hear thoughts from @atp.fm and @viticci.macstories.net

This is eye opening. I knew it was not uncommon, but this is a staggering number with many quality of life implications. It’s a big reason why I order a CBC when a woman reports heavy or longer cycles.

Interested in hearing how everyone on Bluesky juggles their presence on other social networks. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to balance a presence on Mastodon and Threads as well as this fine place. #socialmedia

Came for wit and pithy takes, staying for the momentum/excitement and discourse that harkens back to 2006-2007 when we didn’t know what we were doing, but were having fun.
