Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

I really enjoy doing fun stuff for the office for April Fools. I finally have a good prototype after about 4 weeks of intermittent work on this project and it feels great to finally get it right. This is going to be AWESOME! #AprilFools

I mean, I think it's clear, getting some ice cream for national ice cream for breakfast day is extremely necessary. It's nothing less than our patriotic duty :)

The new #Muppet Show is awesome!!!

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview"

Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

Folks tend to assume that anyone who claims to be an autism advocate is working on behalf of autistic people's wellbeing. Unfortunately, that is often untrue—especially with parents who promote " #ProfoundAutism." Why? @ejwillingham.bsky.social explains in our latest, thread-worthy newsletter. 1/

Cartoon- The Statue of Liberty dead on a gurney with an ICE agent at the head of the bed, with his gun drawn at Pretti who is trying to stop him.

A large pine tree has fallen due to icing, obstructing a neighborhood road. A thick layer of ice covers the rest of the road.

Trees down and lots of ice near Concord rd and Edmondson Pike. #Tspotter

Hey #Medsky and #Pulmsky, check on your ICU nurse friends. I am and will always be grateful for my time and training at a VAMC ICU. The nurses there were wonderful humans who helped a tired, sometimes struggling new doc through difficult shifts. Cheers to the #ICUNurses, we lost a great one today.

The official DHS LIE… “At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.”

Announcements Sullivan Elementary • 10:30 AM • To: Sullivan Elementary Hello Sullivan Families, we have learned that ICE is sending out flyers offering food support to families. For your safety, do not respond to these offers. If your family is in need of support, please contact the school and we will connect you with one of our School Social Workers. Thank you!

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Threatening to invade part of Denmark because you didn't get the Nobel peace prize is like threatening to invade Germany because they didn't give you croissants.

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Greenland war powers vote could be heading to Senate floor Sen. Ruben Gallego said he will introduce a war powers resolution to forestall a U.S. invasion of the Danish territory.

Man, they're so close to figuring out that if they just impeaches and removed this lawless madman they wouldn't have to continue posturing and providing meaningless gestures:

These are super cool, thanks for sharing!

Front pages of American newspapers after Jan. 6, 2021, with headlines like "Capitol Chaos," "Assault on Democracy," "Pro-Trump mob storms Capitol."

Five years ago.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

When we do smoking cessation counselling we have to include the diagnosis code for nicotine dependence even when it is well documented. I am a PCCM doctor, it's like one of those things that I specifically trained to do.

ICU documentation pet peeve: is there any cirrhosis that is not "liver cirrhosis"? This must be the "ATM machine" equivalent of medicine. #Medsky

Just think of the slip and fall suits....

I love the new website:

The fact that there are reservations you can make to have your kids see Santa at the mall somehow makes me irrationally angry. It's kids seeing Santa, it's not Ruth's Chris.

Have Yourself A Tractors Christmas - Album by The Tractors Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas is the second studio album and first Christmas album by American country music band The Tractors. It was released by Arista Nashville on October 10, 1995. The album ...

Ok Bluesky, I want to know what Christmas/Hannukah/Holiday album played on repeat at your house as a kid and is it still one of your favorites?

It's a little bit redneck for sure, but The Tractors were on repeat at my house as a kid: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This is GLORIOUS

Microbial Contamination Prompts Recall of Homeopathic Nasal Spray MediNatura New Mexico is recalling a homeopathic nasal spray due to microbial contamination with yeast, mold, and Achromobacter bacteria.

An unregulated homeopathic treatment contaminated!?!? Who could have predicted this? #Medsky #QI #EBM

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

CDC backpedals on vaccines and autism, despite earlier assurances from RFK Jr. The CDC, under the direction of an unqualified health secretary, is now promoting claims that flunk Logic 101.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…”

A text between a post call physician and his spouse, saying "I am going to need sleep today" and the reply "That would be the title of your autobiography 😆"

Dear #MedSky, my wife chose violence this morning when I texted her post call to let her know how my night was. I feel simultaneously very seen and very called out :)

If anyone in #QI on #MedSky wants a terrible chuckle, I just got a warning in Epic that midodrine can cause orthostatic hypotension. I'm not sure why they think we use midodrine. I literally haven't even finished first coffee. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🙃

Second for Costco tires, if you need them, I don't really think there's a better deal around.
