Anathesiologists crack me up. They come in before the procedure and they are like “chillax, broseph, we’re going to take good care of you. You’re just going to take a little nap when I count down so my man Dr Bob here can do this thing and when you wake up that bad appendix will be gone and you’ll have a cool story to tell the honeys. 5-4-3-”

then, when you suddenly find yourself wide awake and completely disoriented, paralyzed on an operating table,  staring into lights with a tube down your throat, you hear the same voice say “oh shit, sorry … hold on a second, fuck-“

 and then you wake up the second time, in recovery.  
Cool cool story bro!

And the whole time you are asleep, they are daytrading and reading conspiracy theories on social media

The sad thing to me is that RFK has so much truly good ideas to offer in terms of public health, but his Blindspot regarding vaccines more than nullifies all the rest. It truly can’t be overstated the impact of infectious disease on our way of life. The fact that we are going to have to relearn this is stupefying to me.

I’m honestly not sure what is the greater threat- that RFK damages public health through mismanagement and undermining confidence in vaccines, or that he discredits a bunch of good ideas about diet about reforming healthcare and public health more generally. Either way, I think he’ll wind up doing both.

Maybe needs a thread of it's own, but Trump starting a collegiate athletics committee using Saban as leader seems pretty bad.  I can't understand Saban working with Trump after he supported the BLM movement, and he seems like a pretty good judge of character, take Sark for example.  The billionaire oil guy from Tech I get, he and Tuberville seem to be great examples of Trump lackeys, but Saban just doesn't fit.  Maybe he's so worried about his legacy he will do anything to kill off NIL and the portal to make sure all the schools in the future play can't eclipse his records?

Be interesting to see how Abbott accomodates this, or if he just starts working to overturn NIL

I mean having competent heads in the past hasn't kept Americans healthy, educated or aware. I bet most normies don't even have any idea who RFK Jr is.

Nightmare fuel.

Somebody else even had the bright idea to get down right by my face and start shushing and telling me to calm down. It was like experiencing an alien abduction except there was no colonoscopy and one of the aliens was a bitchy nurse.

It will definitely be both.
He is the worst of all worlds. And of course, let’s set aside the over-the-top infinite hypocrisy of “make America healthy again by emphasizing nutrition and whole foods, and staying away from processed foods and additives”….which was EVIL WOKE COMMUNISM when a black woman merely suggested it, but is now common sense brilliance when proposed by people elbow-deep in the “let’s sell unproven and unregulated supplements” game.
Fucking amazing. If it’s grift, it’s GOOD, if it’s simply an interest in the common good for altruistic reasons, it’s COMMUNISM.

No, but normies are the ones questioning vaccines. Our baseball team is apparently struggling in part because like half the team has had the flu in the last week. Can we honestly say that most of the team got flu shots? We literally pay those boys to stay healthy.

The ‘Prince’ requested a digital copy of the 90-page thesis, submitted on April 8, 2003, from the Mudd Manuscript Library, which generally makes senior theses available to anyone with a Special Collections research account. The senior thesis represents the capstone of the Princeton undergraduate experience and is a graduation requirement for almost all students.

Jesus, can you imagine having to read all that shit?

I really don't mind it.  Thought I would, but don't.  Of course, I am only start/stopping a 2L fourbanger.  Might be more intrusive with a bigger engine.

Somewhat surprisingly, in start/stop city driving, it saves about 10% on gas consumption. https://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/features/do-stop-start-systems-really-save-fuel.html

But this is red meat for idiots.

car companies are probably like lol whatever we're not gonna have gas cars much longer anyway

When people say stuff like this it's hilarious. All of the sudden the entire US is just gonna build a massive infrastructure to support power generation and charging across the entire country for the transition? 

everyone driving an electric vehicle would make the power problems that AI datacenters are having look like fucking child's play. 

ICE cars are not going anywhere anytime soon, just like fully autonomous vehicles aren't going to be here in the next 5 maybe 10 years.

With all of the stories about Kash Patel's non-participation with the FBI, isn't this a good thing? I know that he's costing us millions in support of his unofficial travel but on the plus side, this leaves the FBI more alone to do their job. If he left today and didn't return to the office until Jan 20, 2029, I vote that is a win for America.

Yes, I posted an article a couple of days ago that basically said that exact thing.

I mean, if you don't even have to be a real doctor I might send in my resume as I'm a fairly successful amateur gynecologist. On the one hand, I could fit in with the administration's platform of "grab them by the pussy". On the other hand, I've only done that when a nice lady tells me to, so I'd lose points since all my experiences have been consensual. Maybe I'll just focus on my abilities at beating 4 year olds at Operation  for the "Surgeon" part and how good I am at Risk for the "General" part. Once I throw in that I watched Silence of the Lambs two nights ago and how I'm shocked those libtards let Hannibal Lector asylum murderers into our big, beautiful United States of America, I feel like I've got a shot.   

 

I see what you are doing here.

I have to disagree with this. Functional medicine is an important complementary component of primary care. The core principles of functional medicine are a healthy diet of mostly leafy green vegetables and fruits; avoiding sugar; limiting trans fats and omega 6 fatty acids; exercise; reducing the ill effects of stress (especially cortiosol production), and maintaining proper hormone levels as we age.

 

 

OK, but do you need to be a doctor to tell people to eat their veggies, avoid sugar, avoid trans fats, and exercise?

He didn't want an interpreter from the US embassy, because he didn't want anyone the US can depose to know what they were discussing.

Interetsing proposition.  Possibly true, if he was fluent in Russian.  But, I'd think anyone engaged in negotiation or nuanced communication would want a translator from their side to capture that nuance and avoid Russian sidebars that go untranslated.

Also, she is 100% FSB or SVR.

Some follow-up on the dismissal of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.

A day later, Shira Perlmutter, the Register of Copyrights, who administers the Copyright Office and is influential on copyright policy, was fired.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shira_Perlmutter

Like the Librarian of Congress, the Register is an apolitical position and was appointed by the Librarian.  Trump I's House tried to make it a presidential appointment, but it failed in the Senate.  Anyway, as the link below states, Perlmutter served with honor and distinction and without political rancor.

Where this gets insidious is that the Copyright Office has been considering AI policy as pertains to copyright.  Just before Perlmutter's dismissal, a "prepublication" of Section 3 of the Report dropped.  It generally favors creators over AI takers.

It's a nuanced report.  And AI Big Tech hates it and has been lobbying Trumpco to make copying for purposes of training LLMs fair use (not infringement) in all cases.

More here. https://copyrightlately.com/copyright-office-ai-report/

Todd Blanche, personal lawyer to the president, who lost defending the criminal case against Il Dookie in which TFG was convicted of 34 felonies, and who has zero library experience, has been appointed as the acting head of the Library of Congress, the second largest library in the world (according to Wikipedia).

Regarded.  Also probably sinister.  Some DOJ political hack, although a long-term one, Paul Perkins, appointed acting Register of Copyrights.

Although it's an obscure position, the Register is usually an accomplished copyright scholar with industry experience of one form or another in the media world, so practical experience with both content authors and content publishers/distributors.

The problem with having career officials from the embassy or department present is that then somewhere an official record will be created. That is what this is about.

This happened during Trump's first term Trump spoke to Putin at the White House and then he learned his lesson with the Ukraine blackmail call being documented that led to an impeachment.
