We’ve completely tipped the scales.

@stephenasmith Someone check Stephen A. Smith’s hard drive for leaving out the Epstein files.

If the 2026 midterms were to take place tomorrow, what issue is top-of-mind for you heading to the polls?

@medical_xpress “Given that fish oil, the primary supplement type, is particularly susceptible to oxidation [53], the observed harmful association may not generalize to other omega-3 formulations with greater oxidative stability.” Use garbage peroxidized fish oil, get garbage results.

In older adults, omega-3 supplement use was linked to faster decline on 3 cognitive tests over 5 years, while brain scans pointed not to amyloid or tau, but to lower glucose metabolism. medicalxpress.com/news/2026-05-o…

@EliotJacobson Sounds like those are fantasy times

@MohammedAlo What’s Vascepa prescribed for?

None of these things have solid data. Berberine, nattokinase, and Omega 3s all have weak evidence and are not supported by any guideline. In fact, the guidelines specifically state that the should not be used. We have much stronger and more effective therapeutics. dralo.net/blog/nattokina… dralo.net/blog/berberine dralo.net/blog/fish

@juliandorey Have you ever had a podcast about the guy currently in the whitehouse and his ties to Epstein? Would like to listen to it.

"Epstein Pal is THREATENING to Sue Us..." | Julian Dorey It started as a conversation… Then came the legal threat. I explain what happened after covering an Epstein-related story — and why things escalated fast.

@LeonSimons8 @NOAA We had a good? run. GL everyone..

The @NOAA El Niño y-axis has been extended:

@envidreamz @venetian_masker Same here. Started in my left, now it’s in both. More symptoms started shortly thereafter as well.

This is exactly how my Long Covid started. Woke up with a ringing in my ear that has never left me

This is exactly why Long Covid flies under the radar. Posted in a Deaf & Hard of Hearing group: “I lost my hearing in my left ear 2-3 years ago. Ever since, my nose has been running nonstop and I feel like I have the flu. Has this happened to anyone else?” This person is connecting it only to their sudden hearing loss issue and asking in a hearing loss group… completely missing the bigger picture, and don’t see the new symptoms stacking up. Long Covid is hiding in plain sight across all these random support groups.

@FlintDibble How many people listed in the Epstein emails has Rogan platformed?

"Joe Rogan Allegedly Ran A Campaign To Discredit Critic Of Leading Pseudoarchaeologist" Yeah, in my opinion Graham and Joe organized such a campaign against me, and their idiot underlings repeated it as often as they could I'm still standing. Fuck em rudevulture.com/joe-rogan-alle…

@CounsellingSam Tinnitus

what's your worst Long Covid symptom?

@WHUT @hausfath @Daaanvdb It all feels a little moot at the 11th hour now, no?

@HarrisonCaplan @hausfath @Daaanvdb Where is the ENSO research when you need it? Pukite.com

And the latest El Niño ensemble is even warmer. Even the coolest models now peak well over 2°C. Ensemble mean reaching above 3°C.🤯

@hausfath @Daaanvdb x.com/hausfath/statu… Where are the aerosols when you need them

@Daaanvdb 3.1C, as of yesterday:

@Elijahkrings So GABA supplementation would be counterintuitive?

Continued neuroinflammation leads to a phenomenon called the "GABA shunt", where activated microglia divert a-KG or Glutamate towards GABA, used to build up Succinate Succinate in this context is a pro-inflammatory marker increasing pseudohypoxia within the cell, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and potentially even cell death The role of it is to house an appropriate immune response to pathogens Sadly, the overactivity under chronic antigen stimulation

@sbABetterLeader That’s me. Sometimes I have splitting headaches that accompany the wake up time as well. Progressed to having tinnitus in both ears and heart palpitations which make it difficult to simply get to sleep now.

How many of you are experiencing sleep disturbances lately? That 230 - 330am ON THE DOT, repeatedly? Night sweats, feeling too hot AND too cold? That's Long COVID. Yes, 100%, THAT is Long COVID or a conditioned triggered by it. But wait, how could I POSSIBLY know that?

@SarahLongwell25 @JoshEakle “Mutual toleration” and “liberal democracy” are both oxymoronic.

The more I hear from this guy the more I stand by my original assessment. The throughline of his entire oeuvre is glazing and stoking political violence. Which makes sense because he’s hostile to liberal democracy and the mutual toleration it encourages.

@ChefTrillie And Pat stripped his cookies

Micky Arison saw this and still asked him to take a pay cut lmao

@Pro__Trading So weird to admit you love a pedophiIe

I love President Trump you guys know that. He's my favorite president ever. But this is fucking embarrassing. I'm sorry. If you want someone to sugarcoat it then I'm sure Catturd is out there putting a positive spin on it. This makes us look weak.

@donwinslow …and both were just at the whitehouse. I call bullshit.

So now Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and all the others regret endorsing Trump.

@MattDevittWX More importantly - what will this do to coral and other marine life?

A lot of questions about what El Niño will do to our Florida rainy season. 1) Fairly good agreement so far it will be hotter than average. 2) The precipitation forecast, however, is tricky. The NMME (shown below) highlights a drier than average rainy season...then flips the switch with wetter than normal conditions October into winter with a classic El Niño rainfall set-up. The European model doesn't have as clear signal right now for rainy season and keeps us overall closer to average. We'll see how things go...

@mcuban Whe you put it like that

The greatest problem in healthcare ? Hospitals, even market dominant hospitals, won’t walk away from the big ins companies that underpay, late pay, clawback, deny claims, waste their time in denial appeals, and require them to pay up to 8 pct of revenue to RCM consultants so they think they are getting what they are owed. Here is the crazy part. The ins companies ARE NOT THE ONES ACTUALLY PAYING THEM on commercial plans. Employers are. 60 pct of employees get their insurance from their self insured employers. The ins carrier is just a middleman that pretends to add value. All the clinical “value” they add, the hospital could do better, for both medical and pharmacy. Most hospitals have no idea whether they make or lose money with their big ins contracts. They are just afraid to lose patient flow. But. They actually know which companies their patients are coming from. They actually know or can find out, how much more the employers are paying the ins company, than what the ins company pays them (the spread, just like in pharmacy ) And to make it worse, those ins companies negotiate their rates as a discount from the “charge master “, which is like WAC in pharmacy. Just a made up list price. Because the hospitals are afraid or too uninformed to walk away from these deals, the hospitals use the inflated charge master prices as the basis to charge uninsured , or out of network , or insured but not covered for their care, at charge master rates. Which of course the patients can’t afford. And it crushes their finances or they go without care I’ll summarize. Employers , and their members , are paying far more than they should to companies they don’t like working with , that effectively rip off both the employer and hospital , and they could eliminate the middlemen if they went directly to to the employer. It’s so simple. Sell your services to the employers that use your services at a price that is less than what nine companies charge for your services and you will make MORE money and employers will save a ton And if they did this, they could dump the chargemaster and reduce the price they bill patients when they are at their most vulnerable But they don’t want to change. And don’t get me started on how much hospitals over pay for drugs and devices because of the GPO deals they do. It’s just stupid. Which in turn leads to the hospital being a bad actor with 340b , facilities fees and afraid of their doctors who demand they pay more for things like glue and implants so they can get vacations. If you are a politician and reading this. Now you know why this is so fucked up and it’s not about capping rates. The insurance companies are smarter than you. They will just move the money to other places. It’s not about giving money to patients. You can’t shop for care from hospitals that are too gutless to walk away from the ins companies that distort all of healthcare economics Go to your local hospitals , particularly those at risk of closing and ask for their profitability by carrier. Fully burdened. Ask how much they spend on RCM and consultants. In many cases they could survive if they ran like a real business and hired execs that could do the work rather than just manage consultants. They could work out contracts in their communities rather than with ins companies and benefit everyone. The middlemen are not needed. Get rid of them
