You cannot do the whole “he’s battled back from adversity” thing for Dillon Dube and then not mention the adversity. Say it with your chest. He isn’t battling back from a torn ACL, he was on trial with 4 of his team Canada peers for sexual assault in a case that will influence future Canadian law…

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Front cover text:
"WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN AMERICA HAS A DICTATOR?
IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE
A Novel by
SINCLAIR LEWIS"

Background includes an image of a red fasces with a green olive branch.

Back cover text:
"'Vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected… He was an actor of genius'

A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States – and wins. Sinclair Lewis's chilling 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path. As the new regime slides into authoritarianism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessop can't believe it will last – but is he right? This cautionary tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny shows it really can happen here."

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

These athletes notice. They see when the press room is barely empty post-game and they have even called it out. Your lack of attendance will be visible and when you come to make your stories, they might call you out. Trust is invaluable for us as women and athletes.

English physician & epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart is best-known for her pioneering research in the 1950s that established a strong link between prenatal X-ray exposure and childhood leukemia. Her work influenced radiation protection standards. She was born #OTD in 1906. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

Black-and-white photograph of English physician and pioneering epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart (1906–2002) working at her desk, symbolizing her groundbreaking research linking prenatal X-ray exposure to childhood leukemia. The composition positions Dr. Stewart on the left side of the frame, angled slightly toward the camera. She sits at a wooden desk with her body turned forward, leaning her forearms against the surface. Holding a pen in her right hand, she is captured in the act of writing on loose-leaf papers, looking directly at the viewer with a slight, knowing smile and an intelligent, engaged expression. Her dark hair is short, textured, and styled in loose curls around her face. She wears a crisp, light-colored medical lab coat over a textured collared shirt or blouse. The setting is a research lab or office environment. Positioned prominently in the background on the desk to her left is a large, classic black compound microscope. Stacks of research papers, documents, and reference materials are scattered across the workspace. The overall mood is intellectual, professional, and deeply focused, capturing a legendary scientist whose rigorous data collection transformed global radiation protection standards.

It’s going to be really hard for them to say Trump’s lost his mind because their feeling of superiority to us dirty hippies has depended for so long on insisting he’s some sort of savant and he’s always been a monster and we knew it and weren’t afraid to say so.
