I'm curious, does anyone else get ads that push products with Huberman's seal of approval on @kavehmd.bsky.social podcasts, or is it just me?

I know this isn't subject to herd immunity, but the attach on vaccines why we got the first HPV vaccine for our kid today. I just need them to stay on the market for 6 months so she can get her booster.

I just wish there was a single cabinet member who hadn't completely lost the plot this time around.

Work forced me into using the new Outlook today. Violence may be the best option for the rest of the day.

In all fairness, there are a lot of words on that list that I primarily hear coming from republicans/conservatives. Most are descriptive words, used once to get the point across, then moved on from. It's the right that obsesses over them.

How very David Bowie of you. I love that for you.

The "lists" for kits have both gotten better and worse over time. But I wouldn't say any of them are great.

It's the lack of any kind of follow-up or explanation as to why you should do those things that bothers me most.

010

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

I think what bothers me most is how it always seems so superficial and never bothers to explain WHY those things would be important. I mean, how hard would it be to get some sort of testimonial from people who actually followed the advice?

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Why is the vast majority of emergency management public messaging stuck in the, "be aware, make a plan, build a kit" rut? How is that truly helpful and advancing public awareness of what the field actually does?

Draw a line south from Galesburg and west from Champaign, and that would be me, Jacksonville.

Heck yeah, you can hire us to come in and pretend like we're actually checking things out. Then we'll make a fancy PowerPoint about how your company is doing amazing. We can even put it into a report with a nice cover. I don't see how this could possibly fail.

They wouldn't be very good consultants if they told you everything was great. Although you may have just given me an idea for a business model.

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

They could...but probably won't. Besides Americans are generally bad at knowing enough history to understand this isn't our first rodeo with concentration camps.

Make that 3 of us. I was raised not 20 miles from there.

These are the descendants of the people you see smiling in any school integration photo from the 50s and 60s. Shame is simply not an emotion they are capable of.

An unpopular opinion for those who smoke meats: if you can't do it well with basic equipment then you don't need to buy that $1k+ pellet smoker. On a side note, I made some fantastic smoked chicken on the Weber kettle tonight.

The delayed effects are going to be the real tragedy. Especially since those responsible for them will be long gone by then.

The urge to just burn it all down and go start a hobby farm is strong today. Anyway, how's your Thursday going?

Maybe I'm thinking wrong here, but I feel like an ideal public health and a healthy America are two different ideas at this point. That being said, I would put something in the framework where states cannot steal the funds meant for local public health.

I feel like you are in my neighborhood bc I was thinking the exact same thing.

I'm not sure. Given this group of people, though, I have a feeling they see equity as a weakness. Rural Nebraska isn't exactly known as open minded.

For those that don't know, the BEAD program was Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment. So you can imagine why its funds got cut. 😕

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Apparently more than half of the locations in my county that were eligible to receive broadband under the BEAD program are no longer eligible, and the commissioners are surprised. Unfortunately, this is what they voted for and they cannot see the connection.

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

I imagine this line will work its way into the maga lexicon soon enough. It's important we push back on it though bc to them history is just a class they had to suffer through.

If only there were some way to become a Freedman from this conversation.

Be careful, burns like that can give you hot lips.

It's going to be 100⁰+ this weekend with high humidity levels, so naturally this is a great weekend for us to burn a house for training. Yay us!

My wife got tired of my snoring and her not knowing if I was going to breathe through the night. The CPAP has been amazing ever since.

This is why we need to STOP electing law enforcement officers. There are so many sheriffs out there who have very little accountability and this is the crap they do.

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

It sure would be nice if some of the maga crowd started caring about unelected bureaucrats again. It's almost as if that wasn't actually their (the maga folks) problem in the first place. 🤔

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Nothing motivates you to work harder than seeing someone you know fail upwards due to their incompetence. It's especially troublesome given the nature of their recent appointment.

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I know it's been said before, but the number of people who are ok with government overreach when it suits their needs is shocking. The "rules for thee" crowd on both sides needs to get some perspective before everything implodes.

Smoked some pork on the Weber kettle today and there was almost not enough breeze to keep the coals going well. Have no fear though it all worked out in the end.

So you're saying it's the Seattle of the Midwest?

Well that may be a deal breaker. 😏

Ok folks, I just applied for a gig in Cincinnati. I've never been there, though. What should I know in case it actually works out?

I think people underestimate how much kids can see the "status" of themselves when compared to their friends. It's not great, but it is definitely there.

One of life's great mysteries, on par with loch Ness and Bigfoot, is how a 2 day trip produces more laundry than a week at home. Make it make sense.

T Barnett, MPH, NREMT @barnettmph.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

He's right. This exact thing happened during the height of the COVID pandemic. Large hospital systems gobbled up PPE and all the small ones were left fighting for scraps and paying through the nose for it. The scale will likely be larger this time.

"Laterally spreading rectal polyps" sounds like a banger of a band name.
