My wife was worried as I left for the ER. She had a point. https://t.co/48r6OWYQR3 via @kevinmd

@VGMaps has been integral to nearly all of my video game projects (TASing as Lord Tom) for the past 15 years. Congratulations!

[Krohn, Evil Space Wizard ☄ @NESAtlas]

The amazing @VGMaps is celebrating its 20th anniversary! 🎉🎉🎉

Here's a promo video I made for this special occasion:

@Dragondarch @NESAtlas @TASVideos Cool, I'll check in there in coming days.

[Tom Seufert, MD @RarelyRead]

Off the usual topics, I made a new TAS (tool-assisted speed run) of this obscure-but-great game, using heavy RNG manipulation to skip items and beat the prior best time by almost a minute!

@Dragondarch @NESAtlas @TASVideos Thanks! I've enjoyed your WR and marathon videos of the game as well. Happy to share my item-prediction scripts if any speedrunners want to try and improve the realtime manipulation scheme.

[Tom Seufert, MD @RarelyRead]

To go with it, I made a video with a zoomed-out version of the dungeon, inspired by @NESAtlas but using camera hack scripts and emulator data to show offscreen enemy movements, a game-aesthetic scroll timer, and more.

MA hospitals are bursting during #Omicron. What's different or not with this variant.
“Many, many, more people are getting infected. Although a smaller percentage are getting hospitalized or dying, it's still very significant because it’s so contagious.”

New interactive site charts Covid stats with last year's data overlaid on this year's - easy comparison, controls for seasonal issues. Inspired by 91-Divoc.

I wrote this from the imagined perspective of a patient who died recently from Covid-19 and was brought in as an unknown male. #SuperBowl #Covid @TomBrady @drsanjaygupta @ChrisCuomo

I didn't find this elsewhere, so I made charts with the % beds filled by Covid-19 patients in Massachusetts hospitals using state and other public data. Trends are mixed but overall definitely upward...enjoy! @steveannear @mbebinger @goldbergcarey

This is a short narrative based on a patient I saw who started home after working a shift and wound up in the ED; a sad, thought provoking case. It's told from her perspective amid varying levels of delirium from multiple illnesses. #COVID19 #medicine

Coolest video I've seen in a while...

[Tom Seufert, MD @RarelyRead]

@LipmanTweets Just happened today, I couldn't login for 4 hours. C'mon, DCU, it's not like you sell toilet paper, what's your excuse?!

[Tom Seufert, MD @RarelyRead]

@dbernstein Thanks, @dbernstein! We're doing our best, one day and patient at a time!

"I was about to step out for an evening shift when I caught a small quiver in my wife’s lip as she was saying good-bye. I could tell that she was worried about me; it occurred to me she had a point." Thoughts from the ER, 3 weeks in... https://t.co/fg5dF3EDSA

[Tom Seufert, MD @RarelyRead]

Here's a chart I made with some comments on trends in the number of hospitalizations for COVID-19 in each state, which is finally available in most states. @jburnmurdoch @pbump @ezraklein
