Running around the DMV, saving babies and trying to figure out which of the juggling balls will bounce if I drop one.

Man - loving the American Revolution so far… nerding out to Ken Burns docs and reading the backgrounds is how I plan on spending large parts of retirement.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

Neonatal Research Shorts : October 2025
Afifi J, et al. Atropine Versus Placebo for Neonatal Nonemergent Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial. J Pediatr. 2025;286:114719 I had thought this was a settled issue, Neil Finer showed many years ago that atropine alone decreased bradycardias during intubation. But as the authors of this new study point out, there is very little (or no) data about atropine as part of an intubation cocktail in the newborn. I have a bit of a beef with the introduction which suggests that the Kelly and Finer trial mentioned above was limited, as it did not "follow recommended premedication protocols".

Important shoes/airplane question.

Am I allowed to remove shoes to put on the socks I sometime get in a care package for transatlantic flights?

Critical stuff I know with everything else that is going on.

Just read about new H1B $$ requirements. Umm, WTH is this administration doing? Are they really trying to destroy any semblance of healthcare in this country?

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

I heard that Noah Wyle thanked healthcare workers, but his specific quote is even better: “To anybody who's going on shift tonight or coming off shift tonight, thank you for being in that job. This is for you!”

And this shows just how much he gets us. I was really touched.

The wait time for a visa appointment in Colombia, Guatemala, Bangladesh, Nigeria are over 1 year. Among other things, this means people getting notices that they have been accepted to conferences hosted within the same year in the U.S. will not be able to come if they don't have a visa already
Yesterday, the State Dept took yet another anti-immigrant action. It stopped the helpful policy of allowing individuals to apply for visa stamps at any US consular post in the world rather than just in their home country. Effective immediately, that policy is over. travel.state.gov/content/trav...

This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

A little 19th century tomb in Green-Wood Cometary, Brooklyn, made for a child who died aged 15 mos. There is a very worn lamb on the oval pedestal; the carved chair has a tasseled cape draped over it and a baby’s shoe on top. The world before vaccines. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social

Hi. You are not a failure if you have to feed your baby some formula because you don’t produce enough breast milk. Do not listen to the mommy groups that will try to shame you about it.
