Law firms cave, the demands don't stop.

Columbia caves, the demands don't stop.

Paramount enters settlement talks with Trump over a frivolous law suit, Trump still pushes FCC to revoke CBS's broadcast license over 60 Minutes.

Capitulation doesn't save you. You torch your reputation and prove yourself to be a soft target. You willingly give Trump power he could not take.

Fighting back is the only way. And the more who do, the weaker Trump will prove to be.

New York public schools having more spine and strength than multibillion dollar Ivy League institutions… makes perfect sense actually. 💪🏽

Your Match Day reminder that square knots look the same at hospitals of every ranking, and matching *somewhere* is what matters.

The grass is not always greener at your ‘top’ programs, and in the end, both your potential and the basic principles of surgery are still the same.

How much energy and time are you investing in work, and how much energy and time are you investing in your friends and family and community?

One day you will be dead. How would you like to be remembered?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If you’re a “senior Democrat” that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism.

This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.

@danielrubinmd @PulmCrit Even that was a “stop killing your control arm” trial not a “fix your experimental arm” trial…

@MDaware Seems so. I can only get it on https://t.co/BmkYULFQDV now

@aidenatdontmove Improving.

Laws are inflexible and smack of trying to oversimplify a complex topic.

@snakagawa_md @ColumbiaMed @ColumbiaSurgery @ColumbiaPS @vitaltalk @kanwatalk @nyphospital Very well deserved!

@aidenatdontmove Nxe5, I believe. Winning material or checkmating if black is greedy. Once through at full speed, a second time slowly to confirm.

I think. :D

Can you spot the answer? How long did it take you?

If you like what you see, share it around. One reposter this month will receive a free hour of visualization/conceptualization coaching with me!

@aidenatdontmove ...Qb4+ with intention to pick up the bishop on h4 next move. Watched it through twice to pick candidate, then a third time to confirm proposed solution.

[Colin Pesyna @cpesyna]

@aidenatdontmove Wait it’s definitely not mate. Still seems strong though. Will need to think more. Phooey.

[Colin Pesyna @cpesyna]

@aidenatdontmove Qxf7#, about 2 minutes.

I think.

Fat fingered the previous deleted post!

@aidenatdontmove Ng5 is my answer. Took about 10 minutes.

*2600* is living a decade in the future of every other community you care about, weird hobby you enjoy, con you live for, and publication you read from cover to cover. If we can all pull together to save it, it'll be a beacon of hope (and HOPE).

@LankumDublin As always so proud of the band for putting health and well-being ahead of external pressures. The fans would never want you to put yourselves at risk or be unhappy for the sake of a tour. Love from NYC.

What is the difference between "making a recommendation" vs "being paternalistic"?

If it is based on their values/priorities (=you spent time listening to them), that is "making a recommendation".

Don't be afraid of making a recommendation, but don't be paternalistic.
