... told he was next in line to see a doctor once a space in ER opens up.
SUNDAY 7am: jaundiced, weakened 85yo Father-in-law finally taken to a room in ER.
Sees an ER Doctor *for the first time* 40 min later - nearly 17 hours after checking in at ER.
This is a seriously broken system.
Saturday afternoon: Liver specialist who's treating my father-in-law reviews lab results and tells family to get him to ER at Georgetown hospital immediately.
Saturday 3pm: check at Georgetown ER. See a tech within the first hour to take blood and record vitals. Sent back to ER waiting room.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
here's today's post: "doddering old fool gets pantsed by Canada and Mexico" — and Democrats finally wake the fuck up.
thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —
A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:
If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?

Congrats to Meidas Touch for beating Fox in audience ratings. Talk about a light in the darkness!
I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.
This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
Any other person would be arrested…
I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests.
Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.
no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding
Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.
everything is a conspiracy when you don't understand how anything works
LA Fire TikTok comments are BLEAK. Every conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard plus a bunch that are brand new.
