This! I understand the family’s desire to set the record straight and explain that this young woman did not use drugs. However, murder/homicide are still murder/homicide even if the victim has used drugs in their life. Some people seem to wanna rewrite these laws and it’s hella troubling. What’s next? Don’t question…

I don’t think anyone thinks Rogan himself is qualified to give medical advice. The problem is that Rogan has people with the honorifics like Dr. and PhD in their titles, so listeners may think that they are getting thoughtful medical advice by listening to the podcast.

I watched the whole show and cursing did not stand out at all. What stood out was Jada’s passion and leadership. That’s also what her coach commented on - how proud he was of what a leader she had become. If you compare her with Gabi - who is quiet as a mouse (no shade to Gabi - she’s doing what she needs to do in her…

Whatever the cognitive skill is that fills in the blanks - I’ve got it in spades. Did not even notice the error. Took me a minute to figure out what you were correcting.

I agree that it is misleading. However, as someone who has been working in healthcare (and I am reticent to say this because a bunch of conservative wackos will use it as ammunition), I’ve seen news coverage chalk up deaths of some of my patients (some famous, some with family who wanted to share) to COVID, when…

Yeah, every CVS I go to (or Walgreens, etc.) seems understaffed. Given that the pharmacy is such a crucial part of their business, you’d think they’d care more!

How a stranger from a dating site isn’t the first person to suspect and grill blows my mind. It’s like a bad movie it’s so obvious. Straight up negligence.

Had a bad experience about five years ago, put too much ketchup on my burger.

Thank you for your work and your comment! And I agree that the data must support the Am College of OB/Gyn recommendation or the recommendation wouldn’t exist. I remember some pharmacists also supporting it because they said pharmacists are more likely to explain side effects than MDs (laugh or cry but this is so…

Apparently his original Yiddish account was even more brutal. When a French writer helped him translate it and turn it into a full book, the process made it more poetic. (Apparently - I don’t speak Yiddish and have never read the French).

This is such an important detail because I think there’s a lot of assumption going on here that because Larry David is Jewish and not an anti-vaxxer he is automatically extremely anti-RFK Jr. I don’t think we have any proof of that - Larry was going to a fundraiser for an RFK Jr. organization when he introduced the two…

Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could...

We had to read Night in high school. At first it felt inappropriate for teenagers to have to read something so violent. Now I am so grateful and think it should be a standard part of a high school education. After reading it, I didn’t even need to know that 6 million were killed, the horrific experiences of this one…

What drives me nuts about the politicization of medicine is that we can’t have any real conversations about health for fear of human rights being stripped away.

It may just be a language thing. Like, it sounds like you accept/respect yourself enough to not spend more than the necessary amount of time ruminating on things you have done wrong, ways in which you have hurt others, ways in which you don’t ‘measure up,’ etc. So, I would say there is an absence of self-hate.…

Some of the abortions stories from people I know are stories about rape and incest. They are harrowing start to finish. There should be nothing relieving about knowing that someone had a universally compelling reason to choose to abort, and yet some lawmakers toss around the phrase “rape and incest” with such ease.…

Emotions are not grammatically correct, this subject/object argument is a little bit stuck in literal thinking, which will get you nowhere in terms of understanding human emotion. (And if we do really want to nerd out about language, the subject/object concern would make all languages with reflexive verbs…
