Finished week 3 of pediatrics. Can’t believe the first truly antivax family I met was on heme/onc. Daughter was in an experimental clinic trial, but the parents didn’t trust ANY vaccine. Unbelievable.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

RABID BAT FOUND ON SIDEWALK
On Tuesday, September 15 at about 12pm, a bat was found on the sidewalk on Hennepin Ave between N. Washington Ave and N 3°St.
The bat died and was sent for rabies testing. This bat tested positive for
rabies.
A woman was seen crouching by the bat and putting it into a bag. She was described as a 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with curly brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog. If this was you, please call 911 and ask to be connected to Animal Care & Control.
Bites from bats are tiny, may be painless, and may not leave a mark. An person who had physical contact or touched this bat should talk with health care provider this weekend for assessment. During the week, Minnesota Department of Health can also provide rabies assessments at 651-201-5414.
If vou did not touch or have any contact with the bat, you have no risk of rabies and do not need shots.

A very interesting situation. New federal student loan caps could make it harder for future doctors to pay for medical school at a time when the U.S. already faces a physician shortage. If you're in med school or thinking about going to med school, you need to know what has changed. 🧵

A dejected man puts his hand on his head and says "jeez, my 9/11 novelty shirts just aren't selling like they used to." Next to him is a shirt that says "6-7, 9-11" with the twin towers being held by hands doing the 6-7 weighing gesture." He observes another man successfully selling t-shirts and says "The Charlie Kirk guy is raking it in." The shirt he is selling depicts Charlie Kirk as Aang from Avatar The Last Airbender.

Mass suicides in Nazi Germany
Article
Talk
亥

During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War I! in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide. In addition to Adolf Hitler and many high-ranking Nazi officials like Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Philipp Bouhler, others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.!"! Motivating or triggering factors included fears of execution for Nazi war
crimes or reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and the Soviets, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after Hitler's suicide. For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves in a mass suicide in the German town of Demmin, before and after

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
