I started to ask ChatGPT about my blind spots. And then I remembered I have actual friends I can trust to be honest with me.

Aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin don’t treat measles (it’s a virus- it doesn’t respond to antibiotics).

For the head of HHS to be messaging this in the middle of an outbreak that has killed two children is… despicable.

The retro anything was best when you had no real responsibility, all disposable income, and people who were still gifting you things.

Nostalgia for retro video games seems to be strongest for those played during childhood – in particular, for the games console that was popular when players were 10 years old. https://t.co/aaPZ55BSuP

The primary historical lesson of the entire 20th century for Americans is:

Vote Democrat

America would rather have suicide by white man than success by Black woman.

Crashing the other guy’s press conference is about as WWE you can get, short of showing up with a steel folding chair.

A colleague asked to grab coffee, and I gave them some stipulations about how we might make that a covid-safer activity and they were so kind and responsive to my recommendations. Just sharing to say it is possible! 1/3

It’s hard for many people to see the importance of what CDC does because when it succeeds, there isn’t an outbreak. Your neighbor doesn’t overdose. Your cousin stops smoking or your child doesn’t start. Your grandmother doesn’t develop cancer.

Cuts to this work would put us all at greater risk.

This is not true.

U.S. students today test considerably better than they did 50 years ago, *even factoring in* the big post-2020 dip caused by the pandemic depriving many kids of a whole in-person school year. https://t.co/CoxkJPQ3lA

Really doesn’t take a detective to uncover that Republicans are enacting Project 2025 – just last night they began the process of dismantling the Department of Education.

Everything points to them trying to misuse the Comstock Act to ban abortion nationwide, even in states where it’s legal.

Today, I’m re-introducing a bill to stop them.

I'm confused about the 'Canada as 51st state' thing because, if they succeeded, they'd be adding 40million new citizens who overwhelmingly hate Trump and hate MAGA, flipping the House and Senate. Right?
