There are many ways in which every billionaire is a policy failure, but the most corrosive and destructive way in which billionaires are policy failures is this: billionaires, despite being unelected and unaccountable, possess the power to control - and ruin - millions of peoples' lives.

The Warner Brother tower posed against a vintage map of Burbank, keeling over, tearing up a huge clot of sod and concrete. Standing atop of the tower, forcing it down, is a sad, spavined donkey in Democratic Party livery. Being crushed under the tower is the California flag bear, with blood pouring out of its eye and mouth.

Thanks, it was very challenging. People using AI to evidence their actions appear to conflate knowledge with experience and skill. And they absolutely not equivalent.

I had a family member forcefully insist I (a palliative care specialist) change the medications doses in their dying parent’s syringe driver to doses suggested by an AI driven browser. I worry where we are headed.

It’s not the governments role to make people rich. The role of the government is to make people’s lives better, thru enabling easy equitable access to healthcare, education, housing, justice, utilities, services etc. Never gonna happen with this idiot and his coalition of chaos in charge

The idea of the world’s richest man destroying programs to help sick and needy children is just so perverse and disgusting, it’s hard to fathom that we allow it. This man needs to be investigated.

This is great and can confirm, as a palliative care dr, this is pretty accurate. Although I generally explain it with a little less enthusiasm 😂 thanks for sharing

In the deep hurt of the moment it’s hard to remember that such comments only ever a reflect the people that said them (& what ugly racists they are) and are nothing to do with Sam. The work is stunning and what an immense gift to the people of Aotearoa. He and you are right to be proud. Arohanui ❤️

I'm seeing multiple MDs, including those high up at the WHO, repeatedly say the public need not worry about hantavirus, you need close prolonged contact to get the illness, it's not airborne, and most worryingly, the WHO advising HCWs to use inadequate respiratory protection. Here's the problem. 1/

Incredibly disappointing from a woman MP, with evidence of increasing abuse towards woman in public roles. Misinformation broadcast plays a role in that. How naive to say“just turn it off if you don’t like it”. It’s not about personal listening choices but the impact of misinformation on society.

If you come across my post & photo above & think your followers' brains might need a small lift in mood & a shift away from anxiety (I design my photos using recent research so they trigger beneficial changes in brain biochemistry when you look at them), then maybe give it a repost🌿.

ANZAC Day always feels like a reminder that neither fucking side in war knows what they're doing, the people in charge tend to be stupid as fuck, and the end result is thousands of deaths but never of the people responsible for those deaths happening.

The Yeongno, is a Korean mythical creature known as a "celestial eater of the rich," this dragon-like monster seeks to consume 100 corrupt politicians, the wealthy, the powerful, etc in order to return to heaven. A cathartic symbol of social justice.

Institutional medicine's widespread culture of dishonesty has been one of the most shocking takeaways from the pandemic. I knew there was a problem with bullying and authoritarianism, but the sheer scale and normalization of manipulation of science is breathtaking. #medsky #scisky #polisky

Trump cannot exist without a culture that breeds narcissism, racism, individualism and greed. He is a reflection of the USA, not an outlier. The fact he hasn’t been overthrown and people are genuinely waiting for the revolutionary guard that is the (Corporate) Democrats to save them… 🤦🏾‍♀️
