Time to go. I’ve had some nice professional interactions on this site for work, but… if you miss the occasional travel picture, you can find me on Instagram with the same handle.
I’ll be on Threads occasionally.

Final thoughts: Ignore the polls. Turn people out. Keep pushing. Vote early. Talk to your friends and family to vote. Keep fighting until the clock hits zero. If we do the work it will be over election night. Donald Trump is running to stay of jail. We are fighting for our future. I like our odds. Just my two cents over a drink and pizza. Now…get to work. We aren’t done yet.

Billionaires who only know Pa. from flying over in corporate jets are spending tens of millions in PAC $$ to impose the GOP's Dave McCormick as our senator

They want low taxes, no regs, friendly judges. Why do their ads say something else?

Seriously?

Russia, an authoritarian nuclear power, launched a war to seize territory from Ukraine, which is a sovereign nation and a US ally. They are the bad guy here.

2/Both claimed to be removing non-citizens, or is Trump would put it "illegal aliens" from the rules. In fact, they were removing American citizens. Make sure you check your registration & document it with a screen shot today. You cannot legally be removed at this point

@1goodtern 👋
Still masking on planes, and surprised how few masks were present at a medical conference last week (ASTRO, in DC).

[Alex Dresner @madDoctorAlex]

A great thread about the rally in Butler. I’m glad other people report on these so I don’t have to experience them myself.

[Laura Jedeed @LauraJedeed]

Trump says Kamala Harris is farther to the left of Bernie Sanders and you have NO IDEA how much I wish that were true

[Alex Dresner @madDoctorAlex]

@AP Would you want to run over one of these things in a vehicle with only inches of ground clearance? I took this picture in Singapore in May.

5. Trump’s promise of mass deportations would cause major civil rights violations. The policy would effectively result in local law enforcement engaging in a mass racial profiling campaign, as there is no objective way to identify undocumented immigrants.

@TheRealRobPace @NBCPhilly And again! Or still…

[Alex Dresner @madDoctorAlex]

@NBCPhilly Why is our broadcast cutting off half innings for repeat commercials we have seen hundreds of times? We missed multiple home runs 😡🙄

@jaydetsky @mr_linac @ASTRO_org @SahgalArjun @Sunnybrook @UofTDRO Excellent work, team! Looking forward to seeing you there.

Incredibly honoured to have been awarded the Steven A. Leibel Memorial Award by @ASTRO_org for our work on the UNITED clinical trial using adaptive RT for glioblastoma. #radonc @SahgalArjun @Sunnybrook @UofTDRO

@toomanyspectra @IBJIYONGI And data points comparing 1970 to 2004 are …an exercise in extrapolation.
So much not captured.
Wish there was a standard way to capture the bias associated with “these are the people willing to answer our survey” vs. the ones too busy to give away their attention.

[Alex Dresner @madDoctorAlex]

A great thread about a recent comment.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

"The whole point of the post-menopausal female." It was an off-handed comment, I suppose. It was said in an off-handed way.

It was made by Peter Thiel VC guy and podcaster Eric Weinstein, and agreed to by Theil VP guy and flopsweat enthusiast JD Vance, and it reveals a lot.🧵

[Alex Dresner @madDoctorAlex]

@morrisonMSK Ha! Enjoy.

A recent @MayoClinic study shows a new approach to chemotherapy more than doubles the typical survival rate for people with #StomachCancer. #HIPEC Read more: https://t.co/YFRBJqJqek
