I hope my new therapist thinks I'm funny, which is the most important thing in therapy

For whoever needs to hear it right now—you are *not* a failure.

We chose a hard path through a broken system in a time of crisis. You may not have gotten the outcome you were hoping for, and that sucks. Unquestionably.

But you are not a failure. This is not the end. And you are not alone. ❤️🫂

I would like these times to stop trying, please.

This might be controversial, but I don't think people should be allowed to bet on things like war

Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Good call. Even the ancients knew that drilling a hole in your skull to let all of the bad thoughts out was the way to go.

Revokes scientific finding

So THAT'S what that is? I was completely caught off guard when I encountered this yesterday.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

You called?

A lot of my dreams involve disappointing the various people in my life in creative ways. I'm sure that implies only healthy things about my psyche.

It was elegantly pulled off.

It was a joke, but that quote was so good. I'm going to open every COI disclosure with that phrase henceforth.

Lecturer at Grand Rounds:

"I have no conflicts of interest to disclose. Besides a few... minor... indiscretions, I have led a pious and blameless life."

Come to think of it, I really need to organize my spices.

The best part of this was that the Urban Dictionary definition formally cited a majority opinion of the Eleventh Circuit.

Picture two residents and two medical students peering at a single phone over each other's shoulders, trying to read the definition. Many things were learned.

It's better that the child learn these deep truths from her now than from the grinding vicissitudes of this capitalist hellscape. Forewarned is forearmed.

At that point, it should count for CME credit.

The risk of summoning something far beyond our mind's ability to handle is just too high.

Some names should not be spoken.

Sounds like mutually-assured destruction, then. 🔥

Hmm, that's not a suspicious statement at all.

Strike 1: Reminding a perfectionist about their intrinsic human fallibility and inherent physiological limitations.

Why make a bot for a service I already provide for free?

Oh, but when I do it, it's suddenly "a threat." 🙄

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is educate normal people on complex subjects in ways that are engaging and digestible.

Sometimes, it's a feature, not a bug. 😉
