I should probably go out today...if I can get out my PJ's...which seems highly unlikely right now

Oh wow. Efforts to extract Americans who may have been exposed to Ebola are being slowed by the fact that “one of the facilities that can quarantine people suspected of being infected with [Ebola] is currently housing Americans who were passengers on the MV Hondius.”

Every other May I have to see some Asian kid with a full ride to Brown cry and moan cuz he didn’t get into Harvard and now he has to make it black peoples problem. You guys are raising assholes and leaving us to deal with them.

the concept of a brand whose whole thing was sustainability and transparency selling itself to SHEIN

They don't. They make decisions not based on race, but from a pool of applicants who are highly qualified. The bar is a test score, MCAT and GPA - then we interview, read the letters of recommendation, and make decisions from there. "Yale" is the name of the medical school, it is not making a decision - but a group of physicians who train medical students, physicians, post docs, and colleagues - those who know what makes a great doctor, and Yale wants great doctors - they make the decision.

Im always proud of yall graduating. Never get tired of Black folks shining

@MrWTFA 😂😂

See Paprika educational information! A timeline cleanse

@MrWTFA Lmao!!! I just mix it in with garlic powder and onion powder. But get you some of this though. I make tacos with it, and it’s a game changer. Use it all the time

I’m tired of takes on Kendrick and Drake. What yall put paprika in? I got some but never use it

This Ebola outbreak could get bad Really bad And what's worse - US leadership for building testing capacity, training ,clinical trials, and assisting with efforts to control these outbreaks is now pretty much gone since RFK Jr destroyed it.

@KevOnStage They are saying “Clav, famously known for his face card never declining, has met his match with a judge whose face card is a “black Amex” made of titanium”!

What are these white words?

It is remarkable how many people have unfollowed me since I took the position that the MCAT is not, by itself, a particularly good metric for medical school admission, that Yale has produced generations of excellent physicians, and that having served on two different medical school admissions committees, I learned something many people outside medicine do not understand: Test-taking ability is not the same thing as being a good clinician. The MCAT has value. Of course it does. But medicine is filled with qualities that standardized exams measure poorly: judgment, empathy, communication, leadership, resilience, curiosity, humility, and the ability to care for human beings under stress and uncertainty. What has also become clear in this debate is how inconsistently people apply the language of “discrimination.” When some groups are historically underrepresented, many simply assume that reflects lesser capability. But when institutions consciously try to broaden representation, suddenly every disparity becomes evidence of unfairness. And yet in public health, the evidence repeatedly shows that greater physician diversity improves trust, preventive care uptake, underserved access, and health outcomes in many communities. We see similar benefits in medical education itself. Diverse student bodies produce richer discussions, broader perspectives, and stronger learning environments. That was obvious to anyone who has actually spent time inside a medical school rather than arguing about one on social media. What I do see in many of these replies is not principled concern about merit. I see a fair amount of racism dressed up as statistical objectivity.

I have zero desire to argue with any of the “that’s DEI” weirdos, but I REALLY wanna know what they think happens in med school. Do they think it’s like undergrad? That students are just skating through class and residency and still granted MD’s for the hell of it? Lol

Talking Heads performing “Once in a Lifetime” at The Pantages Theatre in 1983 feels like watching a nervous breakdown turn into art. The groove keeps moving, David Byrne looks like he’s receiving messages from another planet, and the whole performance captures that strange feeling of waking up inside your own life and wondering how you got there.

@TheBaddestMitch lol! Stephanie has said several times that she hadn’t been offered the role and probably wouldn’t have done it anyway. Now is this true, or was she trying to keep the peace?? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I wanna do an “old Hollywood tea” series with niche mess like this lmaooo what else can I do??

Ladies!!! Age of not being married reckoning has gone up to 65!! Remain steadfast ✊🏿

community college challenges every classist notion of education and academia and having access to it has changed my life. it should be preserved, supported, and destigmatized with everything we have. hard to name a more precious educational resource for those over 18.

Yale School of Medicine Has a total of 553 students across All four classes. Total Black students: 44. That’s ~10 per class. Total Asian students: 157. That’s ~40 per class. There are nearly as many Asian students PER CLASS as there are Black students in the entire school. Black: 14% of America. Only 7% of Yale Med Asian: 7% of America. 28% of Yale Med. Who exactly is getting discriminated against here ? aamc.org/media/6131/dow…

@MilesFuzzyBear @esjesjesj I once had a coworker living in income based housing, and people were so weird about it, assuming she’d never try to move up because she had no incentive. And then she left for a higher paying job 😂😂😂

@esjesjesj Imagine believing a poor person would lose any incentive to get out of poverty because they can get in free to the aquarium.🙄

To be so extremely clear, letting poor families and children learn about marine biology is a pure good that helps society as a whole. These people want poor people to suffer merely for being poor
