Started rewatching The Good Place (I’ve only seen partway through S2).
Darcy Carden is so incredibly funny. Every single scene. Giggles to guffaws. But also with heart, so you can’t help but love her.
What Ted McGinley is to Shrinking, Darcy Carden is to The Good Place.

Doing a Denis Morton Power Zone ride and he asks “Is there a word for demonstrative yet ineffective?”
In 2026, that word is MAHA. No movement’s performative leadership encapsulates it better. Not a single real victory for nutrition or health in sight.
Trump does not represent actual Christian values in any way, just pretends at anti-abortion rhetoric to get votes. Jesus never condemns abortion, which is a life-saving healthcare procedure.
Trump is the money changer whose greed enraged Jesus so much he flipped tables.
Saw a truck with the unholy trinity of MAGA misunderstanding on the back: thin blue line flag, 2A, and punisher logo stickers.
At least they were somewhat tastefully placed? A morally questionable but visually tolerable ✨aesthetic✨.
This video is brought to you by the guy on Threads who claims to be an “AI artist” while overhyping what #slop can do, and then tried to compare criticism of #AIslop to racism or prejudice.
Way over the line for a guy stealing others’ work.
You can choose to believe that #moon landing and the #Artemis mission were fake, but that’s factually incorrect and also, you lose out on something truly awesome.
Anti-science conspiracy theories don’t just ruin #PublicHealth. They interfere with who we should be and limit our potential for discovery and advancement.
This administration certainly isn’t helping by shoving white supremacy back to the forefront of education and science. #Artemis
Any military strategy where the leader has to throw a tantrum to get what he wants, to solve a problem he created, is dangerous to Americans and the world.
Trump isn’t some great military strategist. He’s doing what he can to get himself and his family rich by using the presidency to manipulate the stock market and sell merch.
The so-called President of Peace who so-called conservative Christians claim is backed by Jesus or will even compare to Jesus, seems very excited to take lives and sacrifice Americans for war crimes.
There is no justifying this war or these attitudes towards fellow humans.

I honestly couldn’t believe there were people trying to claim that he wouldn’t go to war or that he would be an isolationist. Moral values have NEVER been the driving force for this man and it’s so easy to sway him to any position if there’s the possibility of more monetary gain.
The 2nd most disappointing thing about Louis CK: if one comedian could actually address what he did (the most disappointing thing) properly and co-lead healing, it would be Louis CK. Instead that’s too hard so he goes the “non-apology because MAGA and incels still laugh” route.🙄
An important announcement. Please read and swipe through until the end.
Spider-Man 2 is on (Tobey years).
I forgot how much I adore this movie’s action sequences. I don’t know jack about filmmaking, but the fights between Spidey and Ock still thrill me to this day.
And anything you heard about vaccinated folks dying en masse is pure crap.(3/3)
There is no human DNA in any vaccine. This is silly.
And it’s easy to look up any board-certified physician and see that there are NO bonuses for vaccines. There may be insurance incentives that go to overhead costs for purchase and storage of the vaccines, but physicians don’t directly benefit.2/3
It’s been 5 years but some of these myths just keep persisting. The truth is the COVID vaccines and all the other vaccines publicly available are safe and effective. And they have saved lives!
There IS a public health incentive - increased vaccination means increased protection. #GetVaccinated (1/3
The first healthcare worker to block me because I kept calling out their anti-public health posts sharing misinformation back in 2020-21 retired this month.
Doesn’t really mean anything and I don’t know if they were still spreading misinfo this year, but I do hope they’re well.
FYI: 2 most common fake-out posts you’ll see this weekend to trick you out of standing up to oppression are that No Kings protests are “a waste of time” (incorrect) and that millennials are objecting to the new Harry Potter series for any reason other than Rowling’s transphobia.
There’s more to unpack here with insurance and corporate regulations making it difficult for doctors to spend time with patients and explain things, but make no mistake - we do WANT to take that time!(3/3)
You should still ask questions, and it’s even okay to look up your symptoms and your condition (we as doctors should respect that), but people will try to take advantage of the potential knowledge gaps and sensationalize their products - so buyer beware! (2/3)
Let’s talk about ways to spot grift!
The last thing good doctors, REAL medical doctors, and wothwhile scientists want is to hold back knowledge. That’s the way for people to try and sell you their stuff for their profit, not provide medical care.

I get “free” vanilla ones from my dentist office so I haven’t shopped for any in a while, but this sounds worth paying for…
Meanwhile, Democrats have put up 7 bills to fund #DHS without giving more money to 🧊 and Republicans keep voting them down and making things harder for Americans. Call your reps and tell them to stand strong and melt the frozen water. Metaphorically.
Lots of people offended by the portrayal of the Frozen Water Organization on #ThePitt. Too bad it’s reflective of reality. Trump’s kidnap/unalive goon squad is disrupting #healthcare (and now he’s unleashing them on #airports).
These are general medical statements not designed to be specific medical advice to you as an individual. See your doctor for questions about your specific symptoms or treatments.
#PublicHealth matters. Hand-washing, masks, and #vaccines work (not perfectly or completely, but they do) and are safe.
Heard Katy Perry‘s “Dark Horse“ in a video and I had forgotten how musically unsatisfying that song is. The pre-chorus is damn near perfect, but the chorus “are you ready for…“ feels like a different pre-chorus. I’m no great songwriter, but it leaves me wanting, in a bad way.
Quick PSA:
If you see any video or ad from PragerU, even though it’s framed as “educational”, it’s about to make you dumber and more racist.
Always skip, but even if you watch, it’s all badly disguised lies.
Still up? Looking for late night reading?
