THREAD on the practice of "SIN-EATING" 🧵

In 19th-century Britain, it was customary during a funeral to provide biscuits for mourners to take away. They were often wrapped and sealed in black wax. Here you see an example of a funeral biscuit wrapper from 1828. 1/9
A wrapper that has yellowed with age. On it is text that reads: "Biscuits for the funeral of Mrs. Oliver. Died November 7th, 1828. Aged 52." Along with a prayer.

I've just seen some staggering data on how badly infections are affecting urgent care here *now*.

It's hard to comprehend.

We crossed quite the tragic landmark on Measles cases in Ontario this week: 1000 cases in this outbreak. I thought my clinical experience 🌍 was unique & that I’d never have to see measles cases in Canada, where it was previously eliminated. Now this lethal childhood disease seems has a foothold.

Serious question: why isn’t there a Democrat designated by their party to speak as shadow/opposition health secretary (as in many other democracies)? It would give a much sharper focus to the resistance…

“That Canadians aren’t being supported through known complications of infection is a crisis of the moment, of 2025 – not 2020.”

These are the words of a convicted and unrepentant sexual predator. Genuinely creepy. “We’ll cherish you, protect you with our military, keep your beautiful anthem. But we have no interest in your consent.”

Leavitt: "Secretary Rubio reserves the right to revoke the visa of Mahmoud Khali. Under the immigration and nationality act, the secretary of state has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the USA."
