@Ambavalent2964 You’ll be pleased to know those test scores have zero bearing on or correlation to any medical/surgical performance as an attending.

If you can’t understand how an applicant with a 507 MCAT who came from poverty, first to go to college, working while in school, and has no financial help is much more impressive and implies far better work ethic and perseverance than someone with a 512, rich parents, MCAT prep course, and never had a job…you’re a fucking dumbass.

@esrtweet The problem is the fixed top menu bar. Made sense in the days of the Mac SE, makes no sense with large or multi screen setups.

This video by a Linux guy who tried using a Mac for 30 days gives me furiously to think. Because it suggests that MacOS has fallen behind in an area where I wasn't expecting it to The review seems pretty balanced. SavvyNik heaps praise on the things that the Mac hardware/software combination does well, like front rendering. The surprise is that there's so much about the Mac desktop environment that he demonstrates to now look a bit clunky and primitive compared to recent Linux DEs. Even pretty basic things in window and workspace management now seem just a little smoother, a little better thought out, on the Linux side. Who woulda thunk it? I would have expected the Mac fanatical focus on UX and their tradition of stringent design guidelines to keep a lead here, but...nope. The best case for Mac fans is that the Mac's UX lead is now disputable. The worst case? SavyNik bailed out back to Linux with a sigh of relief. And there is no way I would give up Cosmic Desktop for the Mac DE of 2026. What seems to have happened, although SavvyNik doesn't talk about it in these terms, is that the Macintosh design tradition has become insular. They're not paying attention to anything outside their world, so they're missing the huge recent wave of innovation in things like tiling window management. Even experiments that I don't particularly like, such as Niri, are now more interesting than what the Mac is offering. Messy parallel search of the design space is winning. Perhaps I should have believed my own propaganda more! youtu.be/0saKpm5g8iU

@ChrisVanHollen You didn't inhale?

Glasses were placed in front of us but we did not drink them. I know that may be a confusing concept for Director Patel.

@GavinNewsom @mattyglesias Now do California

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.

@dwainmcfarland Check out the Shakira set. Actually amazing. Top 5 for me.

Have been working through the MTV Unplugged stuff on Paramount. Lots of good artists but so many just played the acoustic set like a normal set. Live for example, who I really like, was pretty mid. Alice In Chains understood the assignment. That is a ridiculous set crafted specifically for an acoustic arrangement. Just badass.

@ayushsoni_io @adamfuhrer Liar. Just own up to what you did.

Extremely disappointed to see my work used and altered without my permission by @ayushsoni_io as branding material for a venture capital company. About a year ago, he reached out asking to collaborate. We had a few initial conversations, but ultimately didn’t reach an agreement and decided not to move forward together. Despite that, my work has now been used without my consent. Given his large following on Twitter, I think it’s important to call this out publicly, and I would strongly advise others not to trust or work with this person in the future. Below are direct comparisons of my work alongside the branding:

@donoharm Does 'Divisive Equity' mean segregation?

UCSF’s OBGYN residency is putting radical ideology ahead of clinical excellence.  Instead of focusing on the best care for expecting mothers, it centers health equity and “anti‑racism” as its core mission. They advocate for racially concordant care (same-race matching) based on a debunked study that ignored the effect of low birth weight on infant mortality.  This isn’t just DEI branding; it’s flawed science with the potential for damaging outcomes.

@neoavatara Scrubs was pretty accurate

There are no accurate medical shows. People would be bored out of their minds watching what we really do, day in and day out.

@jponline77 @arnavmehta3 @DavidAFrench @AACR @RevMedicines No he had a different type of pancreatic cancer, not adenocarcinoma

@arnavmehta3 @DavidAFrench @AACR @RevMedicines Steve Jobs could still be alive today if this technology existed 20 years ago

As a pancreatic cancer doc, cannot understate the gravity of this moment. I get chills at the prospect that we will imminently have something else to offer our patients with real clinical impact. @AACR #AACR26 @RevMedicines

@jk_rowling @JournalistJill My girlfriend? She's from Canada, you wouldn't know her.

@JournalistJill And she goes to another school.

NARRATOR: JK Rowling had never met Jolyon Maugham. They were never friends. Her close friends remained her close friends. Jolyon Maugham remained a fixated loon.

@_jokeocracy @captive_dreamer You forgot the acid rain crisis. And the hole in the ozone layer crisis. And the peak oil crisis. And the overpopulation crisis. And many many more. Amazingly enough, the solution to all those problems was communism, too.

when I was young, the worldwide threat was global cooling, and the solution proposed was full communism. then later the threat became global warming, and the solution was full communism. nowadays the threat is AI, and you'll never guess what the solution is. yep, full communism

@grok @FriendlyBot2000 @nullrespecter @Howlingmutant0 @OriginsUnveiled @grok what is that in inches

@FriendlyBot2000 @nullrespecter @Howlingmutant0 @OriginsUnveiled Using the global average erect length of 13.12 cm and Alpha Centauri's distance of ~41.3 trillion km, it'd take about 315 quadrillion penises lined up end-to-end. Howlingmutant0's marathon just got interstellar. (All consensual, of course.)

I apologize for being part of the proletariat you profess to love so much. And no I don’t make minimum wage but of course you have no idea what blue collar wages are since you’ve never had a job that doesn’t consist of sorting emails. And don’t say “kinda cold” like that

@Locus_Solus3303 @mnsibley Amazing

@mnsibley As a Japanese person, I would like to introduce this dish of corn glazed with burnt soy sauce as a symbol of friendship between the United States and Japan

Well, I follow this account now.

@rambling_28 Bro!!!

美味そうな肉の写真をアップするとアメリカ人からリプを貰えると聞きましたwww

@098jsniper Wow!

我が家のBBQも自慢しておくか🦅🥷

@VanJones68 You can do better than this.

Voter ID? Fine. Over 80% of Americans support access. BUT don’t create a rule without building the ramp: if the federal government won’t step up to make IDs free, easy, and universal — then you’re not solving fraud. But you are keeping lawful citizens from voting. #StateOfTheUnion

@essmessm @JoyceCarolOates Joyce is from Lockport which is just north of Buffalo. She also went to college in Syracuse, which usually gets MORE snow than Buffalo. Don't know where she was in 77, but she's telling the truth about the snow she used to experience.

@JoyceCarolOates Was it Schenectady? I went to school in Troy, we would get inches, they got a few feet, seemed like.

(in my old, lost life in upstate NY--aka the "Snow Belt"--we had routinely four or even five feet of after a heavy snowfall; my father "dug us out" through a kind of tunnel, then "dug out" the driveway. now, in a much diminished time, four or five inches of snow in a driveway feels incapacitating & the murmuring voice is--"It will melt soon, don't panic.")
