Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

It's absolutely disgusting what the New York Times, and particularly Azeen Ghorayshi, is doing with its coverage of autism. It's so deeply irresponsible.
It's the same playbook they ran on trans kids.

This is a hugely important development. Companies that can't insure against AI risks are putting shareholders at extreme risk. Bankruptcy wipes them out if that's necessary to pay creditors.
Insurers are state-regulated, but Trump wants to bar states from regulating AI.

For so many reasons, I’m hesitant to bring things into my life and my home now, and ‘shopping’ just sounds like piling on more overwhelm. But these perfumes bring me a lot of comfort, and come from a brand/creator with high integrity, so I can feel good about buying & wearing them. On sale now.

Subverting — and celebrating — the fascist aesthetic
In Austria, activists co-opted fascist imagery to promote a message of inclusion. Would that work in America?
