RIP to one of the best local celebrities

The famous P-22 mountain lion known as the "Hollywood Cat" has been euthanized Saturday morning due to a number of serious injuries and chronic health problems.

Fingers crossed he gets to live out the rest of his life in a big cat sanctuary or a zoo. Like a lot of people in Southern California, I'll be sad if they have to euthanize him.

[Santa Monica Mtns @SantaMonicaMtns]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (@CaliforniaDFW) and National Park Service have successfully tranquilized the mountain lion known as P-22 and transported him to a wild animal care facility for a full health evaluation. Learn more: https://t.co/4mFhzFcJhe

There is NO one size fits all dietary approach to weight mgmt. I had a patient who improved their weight on a low carb diet & I had a patient who actually gained weight on a low carb diet. You gotta do what’s best for your patient & preaching dietary dogma isn’t it! #MedTwitter

Has anyone else been seeing a lot of articles recently that quote RDs and the RDs are saying things that make you go, "WTF?" #RDchat

Why does floss have an expiration date? Isn't it just string with wax? Does the wax go bad?

[Christine @C_the_RD]

I got the urge this morning to clean out my medicine/first aid drawer.

ALL of my cold/cough medications and cough drops are at least a year past expiration date.

I'll keep wearing my masks.

There's two companies that seem like they're always at RD/food events trying to recruit brand ambassadors and giving out samples, and everyone raves about them...

...and I just feel out of place because I have not liked any of their products.

When the president comes out as anti fascist and pro democracy and you feel attacked… Perhaps you need to do some introspection

This is the way it should be. Posting the pay for the position saves everybody time. https://t.co/8jbzAIEYfy

It's inexcusable that some people are still getting COVID from visiting healthcare facilities and medical offices. These organizations have all the resources and knowledge needed to make these spaces safe and accessible for everyone.

A team of researchers rendered PFAS molecules harmless by mixing them with two inexpensive compounds at a low boil. In a matter of hours, the PFAS molecules fell apart. https://t.co/HA8K6t762M

I just learned that "snalting" is a word and it is an awesome word.

[Mojave Desert Land Trust @MojaveDesertLT]

Their diet of desert plants is high in sodium. Chuckwallas have glands behind their nose that retain excess salt. Lizards don’t sweat, so these salts are periodically expelled from their system by sneezing it out in a function known officially as “snalting”.
