It’s the first night of Hanukkah and the world seems like a very dark place. But we can bring light to the darkness. We can fight for each other and make goodness, love, and community shine through.

Show me your menorahs and let’s light up the timeline!

A blue, gold, and white menorah with blue and white pomegranates on it in front of red and pink poinsettias on a wood table. The menorah is lit for the first night of Hannukah.

Not a surgeon, but I think I have a cemetery all the same.

Currently taking a walk through mine. I don’t like it here.

“Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray – a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures.”

A lot of tonight should go to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who selflessly has made a good and righteous fight on behalf of herself and the other women Cuomo not only harassed... but then wasted our taxpayer dollars to legally harass again and again.

Inside Cuomo’s State-Funded Legal War Against the Women Who Accused Him of Sexual Harassment

A review by THE CITY of thousands of pages of court documents paints the most complete picture of how intensely he is battling the women who stepped forward.

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

Underrated in politics:

1. Saying stuff you actually believe whether or not it is the stuff that polls best

2. Not counting on billionaires to buy you a victory with TV ads

3. Spending time campaigning

@pulmcrit.bsky.social

standard approaches to dosing hypertonic therapy are flawed

🧂for hyponatremia, reviews often recommend homeopathically low doses (eg 100cc of 3%)

🧂for elevated intracranial pressure, common practice is to use fixed doses (eg 30 cc 23.4% saline for everyone)

can we do better?... 🧵 #1/2

Among all the campaigners outside is Nishi, a health care consultant passing out printed sheets of Times headlines on Cuomo, Covid and nursing homes. He personally prefers Mamdani, but he’s not with the campaign. “I’m freelancing. I’m just really against Cuomo.”
