I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

Some quarters of medicine have become truly toxic over the last two years. Likely a significant factor being misogyny and that their largely female fellow health professionals are beneath them.

I would normally not have batted an eye at this paper

But it’s by Robert Hahn, and is a nice overview of everything we know about fluid redistribution in the critically unwell- including gel phase, some glycocalyx stuff, 3 compartment models, and albumin escape rates

Where does the fluid go?
💦 morphological changes/damage by fluid overload
🛌 fluid distribution in anesthesia
3️⃣ extracellular fluid compartments
💧 physiology, manipulation & max filling of slow-exchange fluid space
🔥 inflammation, capillary leakage & lymphatic flow 💦
🥚 albumin

A bleak dystopia where Sharia law predominates, while economic and cultural divisions mean that the different communities live parallel, segregated lives.

Since there's been remarkably little media interest in #Farage's mate Nathan Gill & the bribes he took to promote the interests of Putin's mafia state, please share this photo.

The stench of fraud, bribery & money-laundering around the "patriots" of Reform UK is overwhelming.

Photo: Nigel Farage with Nathan Gill and George Cottrell.
Captions:
Nigel Farage: Said Putin is the leader he most admires "as an operator".
Nathan Gill: Took bribes from an oligarch to promote Russian propaganda on Ukraine.
George Cottrell: Convicted fraudster and money-laundering expert. Farage's friend Andy Wigmore passed documents on Cottrell's arrest to Russian officials.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.
