@MusicJim2 Recording of "tranquility base here - the Eagle has landed"

What is Your Ringtone? 🎩🪄 I'm using Baby Blue - Badfinger, at times I switch to Dont Fear the Reaper - Blue Öyster Cult . I can't imagine using a ringing sound ever again😎

@FootballCravee Idiot

Jaxson Dart was asked if he was concerned he’ll lose support for supporting Donald Trump: “I don’t think many blue hairs watch the NFL if we’re being honest.”

@RustyMansell_ Southwest Macon 1976 "bicentennial class"

Question of the WEEKEND just for here.. What year did you graduate and where did you go to high school at?

@carsonkrow At the same time, some of us from red families went to college and maybe even grad school. We honed our critical reading and thinking abilities. And some of us traveled to or lived in other states or even countries. And trust me, we are just as stubborn as y'all are. #gapol

What happened to Georgia is that Atlanta became what they call “little Hollywood”. They started filming a lot there and elsewhere in GA. We got a ton of blue voters who work in that industry in the city. They want to mess GA up like they did to gorgeous California. They underestimate the stubbornness of southerners, though, We see them now. #gapol

@Kristinartz Tree frogs, bullfrogs and crickets. And that screen door better be a Merita Bread door

If summer had a sound when you were growing up, what would it be ?

@factpostnews OH HELL NO. the Canyon is a sacred place

The Trump administration has opened up part of the Grand Canyon for oil and gas drilling.

@AnthonyMKreis Agreed, he is less slimy than Jackson

I think Burt Jones. But I also think, ironically, if I had to pick one of the two to be governor, that’s who I’d probably prefer.

@steakshapiro Norm Nixon, Southwest High Macon, basketball

Who is the greatest player you ever watched live in high school, what sport, what high school and what player.

@GeorgeFoster72 They have been in South Georgia for years and are extending their range northward. Also - they can carry leprosy. Seriously.

Out of all the animals you can see in Atlanta, it’s still always a trip to me when I see Armadillos. I grew up seeing armadillos on tv, and it was always in like a southwestern setting.

@DrTomFrieden How could a hemorrhagic fever have gone undetected or not noticed?

The early trajectory of the Ebola outbreak in DRC is alarming. Spread of the disease likely went undetected for months. Fast detection and response are crucial to stop outbreaks.

@AngelinaReagan7 It was the year I graduated from high school and our diploma folios all had "Bicentennial Class" under the school name

Was anyone alive for the 200 Anniversary? 1976??? 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@steakshapiro Find a vending machine that dispenses cipro and Imodium

I have something serious to talk about for a moment. Had Chinese food last night and kept leftovers in my car. This morning on my way to work I chose to nibble on those same pot stickers and moo shu pork w/my coffee. Do you respect the move or do I need professional help?

@JOSEPH45075332 @realdocspeaks Some of this is good food for thought ... but I must say that I don't like being classified as "mediocre" since I am a NP. There are plenty of valid situations and reasons that one (like me) may not find medical school viable. Being "mediocre students" is not one of them.

I’ve played around in my mind with a training scheme where everyone is educated on the same curriculum As students progress, top students advance to MD tiers with higher responsibility Meanwhile mediocre students could pivot to “midlevel” schools This would have the advantage of not having students start med school and then have to leave or be pushed through the system. They would simply adopt a lower tier license I see this as a solution to the middling standard testing students too. We could have very broad acceptance rates to a medical track. Anyone who excels in the eyes of their teachers could be advanced provided their teachers see their potential This would of course require massive restructuring of the education system, perhaps down to the college level And so it will never happen But it’s an interesting thought exercise

Either 500 hours of training is adequate for licensing, or you need 5,000 hours plus residency. They both can't be true.

@realdocspeaks @statesdj Also, I'm very disappointed that our accrediting bodies have not cracked down on direct-entry and online NP programs. The consequential quality issues hinder the profession as a whole

@realdocspeaks @statesdj May I chime in to say that I have been a NP for 18 years and that I know I don't know it all! I value MDs who will truly collaborate and teach. All that being said, the 3 1/2 years that I practiced in a FPA state were the ones when I had the greatest physician collaboration.

NPs can practice independently after 500 hours of training and with the use of an online curriculum. Primary Care Physicians must obtain 5,000 hours or very structured and standardized clinical hours and then they have to complete additional years of residency prior to obtaining a license. Either the NPs are vastly undertrained and practicing in an unsafe manner, or the PCPs are vastly overtrained and overpaying for their education. We need one standard for the independent practice of medicine and not two!!! That @wsj is what a great topic for a healthcare story looks like!! @DrDiGiorgio @anish_koka @sonodoc99 @mass_marion @belen_amat1 @DutchRojas @HeathVeuleman @DrCorriel @noahkaufmanmd

@travisakers Oof

Student with 30+ unexcused absences, over 40 tardies, 25+ missing assignments, an F lower than my age, and only two days left in class… “How can I bring my grade up to a B?”

@NPRinskeep So basically he's going to encourage Americans to beat the shit out of each other? Plus desecrating the White House

Dana White’s UFC will stage fights at the White House June 14. We talked about it on NPR: “Everybody thought that I was going to build a card, America versus the world, where we did the exact opposite. America is a country of immigrants that all came from somewhere else and they’re all going to be represented.” 1/2

@Hania16836 This can't be a real post.

@1goodtern And the HHS director is carrying home raccoon penises home to study them... Is there a theme here?

I was reassured that no hantavirus cases had been detected in the USA until I found out that the guy in charge of the response is a penis implant specialist. 😕
