See, I made fun of the @washingtonpost for the whole 'millenials growing horns from smartphone use' thing. This level of insanity from the media has always been in step.

Between 1885 and 1911 'telephone ear' was mentioned 2,694 times in US newspapers (some reprints) (via @_newspapers)

It was a medical term for supposed ear damage by telephone receivers. https://t.co/Dty7a0a9GU

“Contrary to politicians’ beliefs, data show that the addiction rate of medically used #opioids has been about 1%. Government data also show no correlation between the volume of opioids prescribed and the rate of abuse or addiction.” https://t.co/hK7TCOzG6y #opioidhysteria #cpp

RFK Jr: Russia is not going to lose this war. It would be like us losing a war to Mexico. They are not going to lose the war. Look at what Russia did in Stalingrad in order to preserve its territorial integrity.

“The public needs to believe people with #chronicillness/conditions… I see so many suffering deeply as their families/others think it’s not real—just because they can’t see it… They can’t possibly understand—but I wish more would try to empathize.” https://t.co/mYI3OXX21Y #cpp

#ChronicPain
"CDC issued an advisory in 2019 stating their 2016 guidelines were “misapplied,” that it never meant the 90 MME benchmark to be a “hard limit.”

“There‘s not one moment I‘m not in pain. The #medication simply allows pain to be at a level where I don’t absolutely lose my mind… Sometimes my pain‘s so intense that [#opioids] don’t even touch it���anyone with severe #ChronicPain will tell you the same.” https://t.co/biYOiBbihD

“Treat yourself with love and #compassion when you accidentally go beyond your limits. We all do it… you shouldn’t blame yourself… Cast off the ignorant remarks of ignorant people. Life’s too short. Seek support in those who understand.” https://t.co/Kcp32pLyq7 #chronicillness

@mckaycoppins perhaps a new border wall could help?

Where is the #PanchenLama?

The Tibetan Buddhist leader was kidnapped by #China when he was just 6 years old. Today he turns 34.

It's time for China to answer: Where is the Panchen Lama? https://t.co/B9pp5P946N

“The purpose of prior authorizations is to save dollars, not improve patient outcomes, regardless of what they say.”

Below, you'll hear from an executive who ran a prior authorization shop who pulls the curtains back to explain how it really works.

China’s colossal infrastructure investments may usher in a new era of trade and growth for economies in Asia and beyond. But skeptics worry that China is laying a debt trap for borrowing governments. Get the background on the controversy: https://t.co/tB2NQAPYZk

On February 4, 2023, the U.S. shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon raising fresh concerns over a worsening of U.S.-China relations already strained by U.S. support for Taiwan and trade frictions. Dive into our timeline on U.S.-China relations: https://t.co/ojvovZRGuR

Fascinating. https://t.co/PVFlO3V2gx. Khrushchev was a big fan of threatening to destroy the UK with nuclear strikes. This just underscores how things remain much the same in so many ways.
