i've been a daily newspaper reader most of my adult life but ditching the post and replacing it with defector, 404 media, the verge, the 51st, washington city paper, the new yorker and a handful of independent writers has been an adequate substitute. bit harder to manage it all, though

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Capitalism can’t even be non exploitative in theory. Thats the whole basis. The whole basis of the system is exploitation.

Report in NEJM describing the first critically ill adolescent with #H5N1 D1.1 (aka #BirdFlu) in North America.

A 13 yo rapidly progressed from mild symptoms to respiratory & renal failure. She survived thanks to IMV + ECMO + CRRT.

Scary stuff.
