I abhor medical society meetings in the Philippines.
It's always unnecessarily long and winding.
A complete waste of time.

Narratives are pushed by the bitter sector of sports called "sore losers."
If you want your team to win, then that team has to be better.
Whining about baseless stuff like "SGA free throw merchant" is a symptom of social media stupidity creeping into sports.

Tonight was the first time that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander attempted 25+ field goals and 10+ free throws in the same playoff game
Michael Jordan did it 46x
LeBron James did it 27x
Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson did it 20x each
Donovan Mitchell has done it 9 times (3x vs IND)

I celebrate the wins of Kiko and Bam.
Still, I remain skeptical about this "pink ripple." In some respects, the Marcos machinery worked to our advantage. It's not hard to see what sort of alliances may come just to prevent another Duterte from rising to the presidency. #PhElections

Looking at all the barriers for health workers — in serving patients, teaching, doing research, providing for a family — it's no wonder being in the Philippines can be quite tiring.

There is a method to the madness that is #PrimaryCare. Sure, we cover the same issues perennially...but it is in doing so that we gain insight, or use the time to build relationships and trust with our #patients, at their pace. #neverdull #pediatrics #graphicmedicine

Quite symptomatic of a sick, self-centered society.
Nothing here says that they won't vote for another wretched lying egotistical maniac who fits their 'us vs. them' world view.
In the Philippines, we call the same kind of people three letters: DDS.

There's a respected physician in the Philippines who posted a long essay expressing support to Duterte.
That person's justification?
Because Duterte is exactly what the Filipino people want.
What?
I think socmed algorithms are really powerful motivators to posting shit opinions in public.

Yup. Been looking at this map since he first said that he'll go after Canada and Greenland.

Geography matters.
If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.
Russia has its eyes on the Arctic, as global warming continues to ramp up the natural barrier between Russia and the rest of the free world is rapidly disappearing. This has put Russia in the direct path towards war with Canada and Nordic Europe. #ArcticFront 🧵

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember.
This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.
They should all be counting their days in office.

Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested last night and sent to the Hague.
We still have a long way to go before we can truly heal as a nation. The damage that his regime caused to our democracy is still evident.
Too many blind followers
Too many blind believers
Too many fooled by his false bravado.

If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.

Americans, don't let your citizens fall for the lethargy that many who have lived in decades of suffocating impunity and paralyzing poverty have grown used to.
This is the correct way to save your country. Reclaim reality on the ground and force people away from their phones.

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:
Town Hall Participation Form
If you are a constituent of a lawmaker of an upcoming People's Town Hall, submit your information here!

39 years ago, the Philippines kicked out Ferdinand Marcos Sr., a dictator, in what was dubbed as a 'bloodless revolution.'
2025 we are still at the mercy of Dutertismo and Marcos Jr.'s campaign to rehabilitate their name.
We're called the soc med capital of the world. Look where it got us.

One of the unexpected (?) effects of the US's far right turn is that it threw into sharp relief what it means to elect such a government, especially for Germany.
It also makes the center-right look good with Merz saying stuff sane people would expect to hear from sane politicians.
Let's see.

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”
