Rural white people: Give us jobs!
Gov: Stopped immigration, here you go.
White people: Not that kind, and not at that pay!
Black people: 😒 https://t.co/8qH9Gircsg
Obsessed with this guy on the US men's gymnastics team who's only job is pommel horse, so he just sits there until he's activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years.
@kari_jerge@arghavan_salles @Obimomknobi @GhostofGarvey@marcus_noland No compensation, unfortunately. JH and the Feds have deep pockets and the courts on the side. Her living children are on Medicaid/Medicare...and just got that through the ACA. Shameful.
I am begging people to understand that almost every test on the planet has something called "false positives," which means a risk that a result of the test is WRONG. A WRONG result can lead to necessary fear, worry, and at worst, unnecessary INVASIVE procedures or even unnecessary surgery. The chance of someone getting a false positive goes down when the person is at a higher risk of having an actual problem (ie. A specific SYMPTOM). This is called a higher "pretest probability." This is why doctors don't recommend everyone get every test all the time.

I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.
I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.
I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.
Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!
We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.
NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

As a cancer specialist, I find this level of journalism absolutely appalling. It’s hard to know where to begin, when the lack of understanding of how cancer might affect people is this poor. I’m more than happy to speak to @AllisonPearson to explain why this is so bad
A pastor of a Texas megachurch who was Trump’s spiritual advisor confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior” with a 12 year old when he was in his early 20s https://t.co/0lqcIrUlrQ
On this day in 1921, Bessie Coleman received her pilot's license becoming the first black licensed pilot.
Women and people of color had no training opportunities in the US so she learnt French and moved to Paris to earn her license.

Medical student orthopedic rotations are in full swing. This week in the operating room,. I asked a few questions about basic anatomy, and unfortunately, the student didn’t get most of them correct.
After the case, the student asked, “What can I do to improve?” I emphasized the importance of knowing anatomy and preparing for cases. The student, looking puzzled, asked again, “Yeah, but really, what do I need to do to improve as a medical student?”
I believe we need to focus on the basics when teaching medical students. It’s hard to teach orthopedic surgery without a solid understanding of anatomy. When teaching medical students interested in orthopedics, I try to focus on instilling a strong foundation in anatomy, encouraging thorough preparation for each case, and fostering a mindset of continuous learning and curiosity.
Curious what do you stress to medical students on orthopaedic rotations?
Did you know the original playboy club costume was designed by Zelda Wynn Valdes, a black designer. She also opened the first ever black-owned boutique in manhattan in 1948.
She began to develop her skills by studying through her grandmother and working for her uncle’s tailoring business. She made clothes for her dolls and eventually made her grandmother a dress.
Her grandmother was so impressed, despite doubting Valdes could construct an outfit to fit her tall frame. Her grandmother was buried in the same dress Zelda made for her.
Valdes’ first job was at a fancy boutique where she had to try very hard to prove she was capable. Over time her good works were recognized and wanted by those who doubted her as a young black woman.
Valdes moved to New York and opened her boutique, Chez Zelda, on Broadway and 158th Street. She then moved the store to midtown Manhattan on West 57th Street.
Valdes attracted many celebrities such as Some of her clients included other notable black women of her era, including Marian Anderson, Dorothy Dandridge, Sarah Vaughn, Josephine Baker, Joyce Bryant, Ella Fitzgerald and Mae West.
In 1949, Valdes became president of the New York Chapter of NAFAD, the National Association of Fashion and Accessory Designers, a coalition of black designers that was founded by Mary McLeod Bethune.
At the age of 65, Valdes was hired by Arthur Mitchell to design outfits for the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
Later, Valdes was commissioned by Hugh Hefner to design the first Playboy Bunny outfit.
At 83 years old, Valdes closed her business to retire from fashion.”I just had a God-given talent for making people beautiful,” Zelda said during a 1994 interview with The New York Times.
Zelda Wynn Valdes died at the age of 96 in 2001.
