When my daughter was 13 she designed, built, launched + retrieved a near-space cube satellite. She programmed the internal camera to capture this pic at around 100,000 ft. So forgive me if I’m not at all impressed with Katy Perry’s 11-minute-makeup-perfecting-selfie-op space

Growing up in Italy, you get to learn about how in 1931 university professors were demanded to swear allegiance to the fascist regime, and how *just 18 of them* (out of 1200+) refused to do so, and lost their job.

6️⃣ The residency crisis is here. Thousands of unmatched med students. Not enough spots. Meanwhile, we have a doctor shortage? The math ain’t mathing. If you think this is a “future problem,” you’re already behind.

4️⃣ Private equity is eating medicine alive. Your local hospital? Bought. Your PCP? Bought. That urgent care on the corner? Bought. These guys are flipping entire healthcare systems like real estate, and guess who gets stuck with the bill?

1️⃣ The ER is collapsing, but no one wants to say the quiet part out loud. Patients are sicker, waits are longer, and no, it’s not just COVID aftermath. The pipeline for nurses and doctors is breaking. Hospitals are burning people out, then wondering why they can’t staff shifts.

I share the story of my SIL refusing to take me home from the ER for the 3rd time. Doc: Her labs are perfect, she can go home. SIL: We’re not leaving, till she gets an MRI. Doc: We’re calling security, she’s not sick, doesn’t need one. SIL: Call them, we’re not leaving. 5 hrs

Commentary: Mayor Michelle Wu is many things: Savvy politician, smart Harvard-trained lawyer, devoted mother. But the description @leung keeps coming back to is the Chinese phrase: Hen li hai, used to describe someone fierce, formidable, and fearless.

“A nightmare scenario would be if mankind were targeted by a pathogen that attacks our frontal lobes and changes our personalities. Such a pathogen could bring an end to society as we know it. Unfortunately, the nightmare may be real and taking shape in SARS-CoV-2.”

Trump is overestimating his support and overplaying his hand. We’re about six weeks in and voters—including many Republican voters—increasingly don’t like what they see. A quick breakdown of recent polling shows how unpopular Trump/Musk have become with the American people🧵📉

🧵For my fellow Veterans who took their oath to the Constitution seriously and now find themselves feeling betrayed by the country we fought for and watching it betray our allies who also put their lives on the line by our side. Where to begin? I guess I’ll look at the. ..1/n
