Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
Saw Andrew Bird last night
did not disappoint
10/10 would recommend
Why am I getting these spam texts from different numbers holy crap
found it
Honest question: What does this graph look like for the US?
The truth is that whatever Einstein said that probably really had no idea the import of these words and was just trying to sound smart, not knowing this is probably one of the most clear threats possible to one of the oldest and historically powerful institutions on earth
Googled "avignon papacy" today- did not know that history
I'm not even mad that we used that as a threat given the historical knowledge that had to go into it I'm sort of impressed
Would not need a national license, just a reciprocal agreement compact among states
Pretty simple
"In order for me to see you virtually you have to say you are in the state of Indiana. I am not telling you to lie, I am just telling you what the rules are."
I'd like to go on record as saying that it is ridiculous that in the year of our lord 2026 if my patient is physically in Kentucky or Ohio that I, as a physician licensed in Indiana, cannot do a virtual visit with them
Good god people this seems like a problem with an easy fix
Elect a clown you get a circus
Indiana gas prices over time
If this is what winning feels like I am ok with going back to losing

Me: If you get your labs drawn next week, I am out of town so I will talk to you about them when I get back
Patient: Oh, where are you going?
Me: On a trip with my wife for our 25th anniversary
Pt: Oh you have been married as long as I have been alive!
Me:
In a world filled with chaos I am thankful for the Taco Bell app, which is, for me, a calm in the storm
Offscreen has been what has really been the game changer for me
I HAVE CROSSED THE PHONE SCREEN TIME RUBICON
Last week my average was below 30 minutes of daily time with my screen on and unlocked
I am very proud of this and TBH this feels like a change I can sustain
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
yep
My 11 year old just got the Dookie album by Green Day
The equivalent album for 11-year-old me would have been released in 1957
So like "Love is the Thing" by Nat King Cole

Thank you so much Alyson these words mean a lot
Thank you, Lekshmi. I still struggle with all of this!
Has ACIP actually been disbanded? I thought it's status was 🤷♀️

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
Tiger Woods sure seems to be a bad driver
This is a terrific article
"Thus, the commercial determinants of health are closely linked to political determinants of health, the government actions (or inaction) that allow corporations to influence product regulation."
