The second Saturday morning in a row that I am grateful that my vet fit me in at short notice for something urgent with Liam. Driving INTO DC is a pain in the butt. Good vet care is priceless!

I saw the writing on the wall for this in November of 2024. No wonder why the orange menace wants to subvert the US election process. Too bad his supporters were/are too stupid to understand that their precious leader could care less about them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/b...

All signs point to the orange menace and his puppet masters preventing the midterm elections from being held or not accepting the results. I don’t know what we can do but the collective head in the sand ain’t it

Has the orange menace even acknowledged that Artemis II is launching today for a truly exciting triumph of space exploration?

It’s been awhile since I posted. I love this joke right now even more than I loved it yesterday. “You can’t have a Kennedy Center until you’ve finished your East Wing!” But maybe not even that, thanks Judge Leon.

At an (unnamed) HHS subagency meeting. The Thiel disciple is speaking and honestly - no one around me is drinking his koolaid when it comes to *dereg* of AI re: model transparency and training. He can tout the admin’s buy in on interop all he wants, but something, something - leopards and spots.

the orange menace is grasping for relevance by threatening to poop on Ukraine again. This is not the first time he has said this and the rest of the world (Europe) really needs to make a statement of support NOW. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

How come 3 of the 4 sessions I’ve attended so far at #AMIA2025 have people I know or that I’ve worked with directly on the panels? I’m not looking at the presenters, honestly - just reading the session descriptors for stuff of personal or current professional interest

The only mainstream press that I read and pay for is the NYT. Reading this morning’s article on the demise of DHS is sad and scary. My dad was a career customs officer. He was proud of his work. He’d be so ashamed that the agency has lost the plot. inattention to agency mission puts the US in danger

The last time I was at #AMIA it was right after the election. It felt like the orchestra on the deck of the titanic. Every time I saw an NIH grant number on a presentation I thought - will this be the last time? To quote RuPaul “I can’t wait to see what happens!” and I’m here again!

Another morning I wake up, read the news and am glad I am the last one standing in my family. My dad was a customs officer. He’d been port patrol and army air force before that. Proud of his service. He’d be so ashamed to see his agency defiled by racist trash recruits beating on people.

Putting on my policy hat for a minute (I can’t sleep, ugh). What does this mean, for my non professional friends? AHIP is a professional society for commercial health insurers. “America”s Health Insurance Plans.” Math was done. It’s cheaper to vaccinate than to not. At least through 2026

Dear Mom and Dad, I made a quick trip home for a work conference. We stayed near union sq in the Palace. She’s gone a little shabby over the years since you’ve been gone. This trip, full of childhood nostalgia. But I am grateful in a way you are both gone 1/2
