A young bear gets sidetracked by a balloon while crossing the road, prompting its mom to come back. Family bonds in the wild are truly heartwarming.

Calling this "artificial intelligence" is ridiculous. It should be simply called technological laziness.

A first experience for me: I had a patient give me an AI generated work excuse which included incorrect medical facts about her illness and "peer reviewed" hallucinated references. Obviously I did not sign it. If she needs an excuse, I can document the facts. #ArtificialIntelligence #Healthcare

The most amazing story isn’t just that Democrats flipped a Trump +12 seat from red to blue — it’s that Trump literally voted by mail in this election while arguing mail in voting should be illegal for everyone else.

Making America Great Again, as in Great Depression.

As an energy nerd in the heartland, I guess you a) inevitably get sucked into land-use debates that pit ag against renewables, and b) eventually learn how little crop yield actually goes to feeding humans, how much land/corn just makes ethanol for cars, and how much more effective solar -> EVs is.

Mohamed @MohamedSkandari ... Reading books is so profound because it denies you the ability to speak when confronted with an idea. You must listen. It isn't a conversation. Sometimes it shouldn't be a conversation. Sometimes we should just listen. & st listen.

All this. Yes.

Federal judge blocks RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations Unprecedented changes to routine US immunization recommendations ‘arbitrary and capricious’, court says

Every American owes the American Academy of Pediatrics a debt of gratitude for successfully blocking RFK’s and Trump’s efforts to dismantle the bedrock of public health, safe & effective vaccines.

This is a really good article about searching. Lots of things I didn't know about. (And I'd normally flatter myself at being better at this than the average person.)

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

This is the sort of thing social media should be designed to share! #History

Popular TikTok Trends to Avoid: The Dangers of Viral Wellness Health trends like dry scooping, mouth taping and garlic use have gained popularity on social media, but not only do they not achieve their claims, they can severely risk your health.

The best places to get medical information are from your provider, healthcare systems, and reputable sources like @lungusa.bsky.social www.lung.org/blog/health-...

It would be one history‘s great plot twists if Trump has now managed to alert the entire world to why they should transition away from single-use fossils to renewables as quickly as any possible - even while having dismissed global warming.

And Hormuz isn‘t even Asia‘s biggest risk.

Is it really a war?

Play along with Andrew Heaton's new game show.

They spelled duplicitous wrong

Casey Means still doesn’t have the votes. Keep the letters coming.

"The only thing she practices is grift": Meet Trump's nominee for Surgeon General - Salon.com Casey Means’ promotion of supplements and pseudoscience worry medical professionals

Sharing ahead of Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing tomorrow:

Have been listening in to today's hearing. So far, she's dodged questions on vaccines and Tammy Baldwin noted Means made $325K shilling supplements over the last 2 years. But sure, vaccine advocates are the one making bank. 🙃

🚨🔥 NEW: Increasing mortality from wildfire smoke is directly traceable to greenhouse gas emissions. In our new paper in @pnas.org , we show that every megaton of CO2 emitted costs the US more than 10 million dollars in health costs from wildfire smoke. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
