Funny. I thought it was morally wrong for Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth more than $800 billion, to eliminate humanitarian aid that will cause 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet to die in the next 4 years.

With less than 24 hours left until Hungarians head to the polls, I figured it is a good moment to take one final look at what Viktor Orbán has achieved in his 16 years of uninterrupted, near absolute reign in Hungary, by comparing Hungary’s performance with that of Romania.🧵

Fucking outrageous. And highly illegal.

"Trump has grifted his entire life. Now he’s just taking it.

The State Department transferred $1.25 billion in foreign aid to Trump’s Board of Peace, pulling $1 billion from international disaster assistance, $200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $50 million from international organizations.

Money that Congress authorized for hurricanes and refugees, moved without a congressional vote, into a fund that Trump created by executive order and controls personally. When reporters asked the State Department about it, a spokesperson said they had nothing to announce at this time.

The Board of Peace has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself chairman for life. No audits. No transparency requirements. No conflict of interest rules.

Countries pay $1 billion into a fund he runs to get a seat at the table. It has transferred nothing to Gaza, disclosed nothing about its spending, and received $1.25 billion of your disaster relief money without a word of explanation.

When he leaves the White House he keeps the fund. That is not a loophole. That is the design."

He’s Not Grifting Anymore. He’s Just Taking It. https://t.co/eYb5g4g9bR

@travelingflying Ireland managed to colonise the West coast of Scotland pretty well. Another moron placed in front of a big microphone.

@Microinteracti1 @Gmanmaximus Not quite true, Trump buried his first wife on a golf-course remember, as a tax-break.

Early cholecystectomy for recurrent versus first-time cholecystitis: nationwide population-based study
➡️https://t.co/PmL1pvRW0K

This population-based cohort study from Sweden found that patients undergoing early cholecystectomy for recurrent cholecystitis had higher rates of complications than those operated on during their first episode. Those with recurrent cholecystitis had increased risks of bile duct injury, intestinal perforation, prolonged surgery, and conversion to an open procedure. The findings support early surgical intervention during the initial episode to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes associated with recurrence.

Hey @grok who is featured in the Epstein files? Is it British cave diver Vern Unsworth or is it Elon Musk?

The science and art of decision-making in surgery
➡️ https://t.co/yIvhEF1pdr

🔪 Surgery is a cornerstone of global healthcare, with the Global Burden of Disease study estimating ~313 million operations every year worldwide.
🧠 This makes surgical decision-making a core skill, shaped by healthcare resources, culture, religion, funding models, and legal frameworks across regions.
👥 Decisions are increasingly complex due to frailty, obesity, multimorbidity, and rising patient expectations, alongside rapid advances in minimally invasive techniques.
⚖️ Surgeon-related factors—training, experience, and individual risk tolerance—also strongly influence choices.
❓ In many surgical “grey areas”, where evidence is limited and uncertainty is high, deciding whether and how to operate is far from straightforward.
