As a former StoryCorps facilitator, this is fucking disgusting.
End the project already, Dave.
You created a good model: you encouraged people to sit and do oral history for 20 yrs.
Turning StoryCorps into a surveillance capitalism nightmare is not worth the money to keep the project going.
i will keep reiterating it but the mRNA vaccine is one of the most important human inventions in history, next to the printing press and the solar panel, and the fact america is abandoning it is frankly anti-human in all ways possible
yepppp
Ask yourself if this person deserves to be in a position of power
Ask yourself whether you think he lied in order to obtain this position
It’s really good imo
Seriously. Physically MAKE that oil monster I dare you!!
Ugh.
And yes it was not surprising to me that my PT/a Chinese medicine dr were the people who got what was going on, rather than drs as such.
What. What????
Trying to imagine an animated film less suited to this and failing. This trend needs to be over.
I’m sorry… what??
‘Chief Justice John Roberts has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side. At a critical moment for the country and court, the papers show he acted as bulldozer in pushing to stop Obama’s plan to address the climate crisis.’

Utterly maddening… this kind of attitude is precisely why they are collectively so poor at dealing with chronic illness writ large
*last rePOST rather... old habits die hard.
My point being that if you are have EDS or similar that this is definitely not a good solution.
Of course now I can't do PT either due to ME so it's moot but... in a previous world...
My specific situation is bizarre bc I'm not clinically hypermobile but I otherwise have a lot of EDS symptoms and drs/PTs etc are always commenting on how I'm way too flexible so I think I probably have some subclinical version that medicine can't detect yet, or something similar.
LRT I don't have EDS but I am way too flexible and my PT told me I didn't need to see a chiropractor (I was trying everything at the time out of desperation) bc I was already too flexible and needed to do strengthening, which anyone familiar with EDS/hypermobility will tell you. FWIW!
DEARDEN: I have Ehlers-Danlos, which is a hypermobility disorder. So, on set, we don’t have chairs. We have a family room we’re allowed to go to sometimes, but it’s seven and a half hours of standing. COON: Wow. You might as well be a waitress. DEARDEN: He’s like a chiropractor kinesiologist and there’s no cracking, ever. It’s about finding the line of muscle or nerve. So, if my shoulder hurts, it’s because of my right hip. It’s bizarre and so necessary and I wish I had more time to go to him. In the first season, we did one leg on the gurney CPR and I started walking and my hips were completely crooked. I remember walking and he goes, “Don’t tell me, one leg on the bed CPR?” And I was like, “Yes.”
Just read this interview with Taylor Dearden, and celebrities promoting chiropractors for chronic illness issues is so dangerous.
No legit doctor who treats chronic illness will recommend you go to a chiropractor. www.interviewmagazine.com/film/taylor-...
It’s all well and good for tech leaders to endorse UBI. But it feels convenient to only focus on a distant political prospect. The GOP, right now, is doing reverse-UBI (work requirements on SNAP). It’d be nice to hear more objections to that.
I’m curious: If you have insurance through your employer, roughly how much do you pay for an in-network doctor visit?
TVLINE | What does the Santos-Langdon dynamic look like come Season 3, now that he has apologized and she has verbalized how she feels about his return? I think they'll get to a good place. It's a process, but they're both adults. She'll soften over time. He's a good doctor - he made a mistake - and she has to eventually forgive him for that.
Then there’s this which… I don’t even know. The actors seem to consider this a much more ambiguous situation, for what it’s worth!
I don’t even like Mohan. I don’t think Ganesh is a good actor (sorry!!). But this is fucking poor form especially after they did literally the same thing with Collins last year.
demands of the emergency department? Yeah. Due to the nature of a teaching hospital, a lot of people move on. That's part of the fabric of the show. One of the reasons we did a four-month jump was so we didn't have to move everyone out. We love these actors, we love writing for them, and the audience enjoys them, so it's bittersweet when we have to see someone leave, but it's part of the process. She struggled a little bit, and that's part of the reality of medicine - some people do better than others. She's very good at connecting with patients, but she doesn't move as quickly as is expected these days in the ER. TVLINE | But it being only November, she would still be in the final year of her residency. So in this case, is it just that she's not on the shift? Yeah, she's just not working that day.
I’m sorry this is just so embarrassing. Dude you are straight up contradicting yourself in consecutive questions. www.tvline.com/2149438/the-...
great question!!!!
(this appears to be a subtweet of Roxana Hadadi’s extremely insightful article about Al-Hashimi from last night… again critics are literally allowed to do criticism it’s their job.)
plenty of people don’t want to write a tv show just to watch a good tv show. I think this is a normal desire that should not be scolded.
If you get mad at THE PITT for not doing what you wanted THE PITT to do, you should try writing your own shit. I mean it! That's an impulse you can put to use instead of just being an entitled fan acting like art exists to meet your desires.
what are we even doing here. people are allowed to criticize the most popular show on tv.
Noah Wyle being one of the producers on the show and also unaware of these issues since he's the one running his own character arc, probably not a good idea.
Completely agree
Great piece that homes in one some of the issues with the show (of which the people in charge unfortunately seem unaware)
Really appreciated this — such great detail on the effects but esp your criticism and insight on the show’s POV. This was a major problem for me this season and this didn’t give be a lot of optimism about s3 but I was glad to read it anyway!
Thread. This is so so horrifying and awful
