The single most important event in any surgeon's career is the first major complication they get after becoming an attending.

Though it may be a tragic event, it's only then that they really grow up and truly understand the magnitude of what they're doing.

To all of you New Yorkers, the New York Knicks are worth $10 billion dollars. If we dissolved the franchise we could use that money to end world hunger. Stop celebrating greed.

@Rothmus Kentucky has "high overdose rates and poor health outcomes". What if you just don't participate? Don't do drugs and stay healthy. Why does moving to a state automatically make you a drug addict?

@SamaHoole Staying healthy is a fairly boring endeavor for most people: eating healthy, exercise, show up for your annual screening, have community/stay social, etc. The healthcare system can’t force people to do any of that. They are just stuck with you when you don’t.

One of the funniest and most endearing stories involving Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead) and Metallica took place backstage at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 14, 2009, during Metallica’s World Magnetic Tour.

Metallica was in the middle of a relaxed jam session in the dressing room. James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo, Lars Ulrich, and a few other friends (including Matt Sorum of Guns N’ Roses) were playing some casual jams. Suddenly, Lemmy walked into the room. Robert Trujillo began clapping excitedly, and Lemmy, in his characteristic raspy voice,

James Hetfield greeted him with a respectful smile: “Hello, sir.” Lemmy sat down, tuned his bass, and, without further ado, the entire group launched into two Motörhead classics from 1979: first “Damage Case” and then “Too Late Too Late.” Lemmy and Hetfield took turns on vocals, with Lemmy on bass and singing with all his raw energy, while Metallica backed him up with groove and enthusiasm.

At the end of the second song, James Hetfield joked, “Are we hired?” Lemmy replied with a laugh, “Yeah, I guess so… but you’ve got to get rid of that drummer.” Lars Ulrich, keeping his sense of humor, answered instantly, “I’ve been trying to get out of here for 25 years!” Everyone burst out laughing.

That casual backstage moment was captured on video and shows the genuine chemistry between them: Metallica always viewed Lemmy as an idol and mentor. Lars Ulrich has often recounted that as a teenager he was president of the Motörhead fan club on the West Coast (along with Cliff Burton) and that he tried to keep up with Lemmy’s drinking pace… only to end up throwing up. That mutual admiration led to several on-stage collaborations, but the 2009 backstage jam is particularly warm and spontaneous.

It was a meeting of legends that epitomized the respect and friendship between Motörhead’s wildest rock and Metallica’s thrash. A slice of pure, unfiltered heavy metal history.

Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.

“Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.”

“And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”

“The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.”

“The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.”

“How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?”

“Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”
