I think he has fronto-temporal dementia which makes him disinhibited. They don't want him blurting out secrets or doing something inappropriate on camera
Doctor, hobby farmer, starting permaculture in Vermont soon. Really tired of Republican doublespeak, fake Christians, insatiable greed, and bad guys winning

Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
There's apparently an IV treatment for Alzheimer's dementia, too
This is how illegitimate kings are crowned on GOT
To be a paid pharma troll, I'd have to be paid. I've heard this accusation since 2020, but I've never seen any proof. Have any? As a physician who knows a lot of other physicians, I can tell you that no regular doctors are being paid to push vaccines on our own patients
Doctors are being paid by pharma to promote vaccines? I want my share! I haven't seen one penny of that big pharma money. Please tell me how to get it. Also, where do I claim my kickbacks for Covid diagnoses?
The best way to anger a narcissist is by ridiculing them. Someone with a platform finally figured it out
That must be why they're allowing it. Nosferatu is out for blood
You might want to check into cruises, depending on where you live. They can be a pretty inexpensive way to travel and see multiple countries in a week. There's also a website called Going that will notify you when low airfares are available. The free version is pretty good.
Thanks, but I'm not all that worried. I have 1000 lbs of dogs protecting me 🙂 (8 very large dogs)
Rural Oklahoma. Most people never even leave the state, unless it's a trip to Vegas, Cancun, or Orlando
Hey everyone! Just landed back in France after spending 3 weeks guiding photo tours in Greenland. Looking forward to share some new work from there 🙂. Meanwhile here’s a video of a really cool iceberg 🧊 we found last week.
It is very expensive to fly and that is a big problem. However, people in the rural south buy $15,000 ATVs, boats, expensive trucks and other toys they don't need. I went to Nepal for 30 days in 1997 for $1500 total, $1000 of which was the plane ticket. Paid for with student loans 😀
I've been all over the world myself. I'm just saying many Americans would be impressed by European countries. I prefer more adventurous places like Nepal, Peru, and Tanzania
I think the lack of travel to European countries contributes. Americans don't know they have better public transportation, healthier/tastier food, beautiful architecture, etc
Yes, I noticed that too! 😆
They just started requiring PragerU in Oklahoma classrooms, but some teachers were teaching similar content before that
They wouldn't be working so hard on voter suppression if they could repeat the hack. I also wonder if whatever they did to the tabulators can't be applied nationwide for midterms. Maybe they don't want to risk exposure because it might nullify 2024.
Oh, don't worry. They've been badly educating kids for 20 years. "Oil is a renewable resource"-STEM teacher. "Slaves enjoyed being slaves" -history teacher. That's only 2 of many my kids told me about
Me, too. Back in 2020, I posted a pro-BLM comment on the community page and got death threats. I was scared into silence and I'm sure there's more of us. I feel guilty, though, because my silence reinforces the perception that my town is 100% MAGA
That's a very effective way to keep anyone with dark hair and tan skin from voting. I'm sure that's their plan
I drank raw goat milk from my own goat that I milked myself. There is a whole process for cleaning the teats, filtering and icing it down immediately. I would never trust anyone else's raw milk. I didn't let my children drink it, either. Mostly, I made it into cheese. It's much safer that way
He's having trouble with his right leg. Watch how he doesn't put weight on it as long as he does for the left leg. I'd guess the weakness is from a previous stroke. He used to swing the right leg out to the side when he walked, but that's gotten a little better
Subtype of narcissism?
I knew I had seen this before. Thanks for the connection. Funny how their tactics are the same, though
She was fine! I've had several animals go missing for a day or two. The worst was a puppy, one of a litter of 5. We were all on a walk in the woods and she disappeared. I think she must have gotten scared and hid. It was 2 days before she came back! I think her mother must have tracked her down
I had a young goat disappear for about 24 hours. I couldn't find her anywhere. We have 30 wooded acres, so it's difficult. I was so relieved when she showed up the next day with a majorly swollen head! I assume she had been stuck and managed to free herself
Maybe Alaska is part of the land swap deal and he accidentally blurted out the plan ahead of time
My 130 lb fraidy cat did not like his thundershirt either. Drugs, on the other hand, work like a charm!
Why is it that the people who said you were overreacting never apologize when your fears come true? And they still don't listen?
She told me all doctors are liars. I'm a doctor. She is openly anti-trans. I have a trans daughter. She hates my husband, who is a very kind person. Not many people would describe her as good
The worst advice my devout Catholic mother gave me was to read the Bible. I remember, as a child, being very confused reading all the violent stories of wrath and vengeance. I recognized the misogyny right away, too, and wondered why she thought it was child-appropriate
I think it would be very therapeutic for the survivors to personally administer Maxwell's punishment. The Cersei shame walk, The Lottery, etc
Interesting. I hadn't seen that. Thanks
Watch videos of him from the 90's and his decline is very obvious. Even video from 2016 is striking
Yes. 89 and sometimes 91
I'm sorry. They're such loyal servants, protecting a bunch of ungrateful goats. They don't ask for anything in return, unlike my needy house dog and cat
They're making fun of her vanity, you know, one of the seven virtues today's Christians believe in, along with greed, lust, gluttony, etc
Trump Org is heavily invested in crypto, so could they be devaluing the dollar to boost crypto?
Thanks. Of all the deaths on the farm, I took his the hardest. I had a Great Pyrenees who got bone cancer several years before Charlie. I insisted that the vet amputate his leg and it only bought him a few months, but at least he was pain-free and happy for a little while
They're frequently on the overpasses on the interstate. We recently bought a mountain cabin and coming from Oklahoma, I cry tears of joy when I see them. A little hope goes a long way
But, I suspect Elon has said he won't help rig the vote tallying machines again because they had a falling out. So now they need a new strategy
The Anatolian, my best dog ever, got a bone tumor that caused his leg to break. I had to have the vet euthanize him after I found him out in the pasture, unable to move. Life on the farm is tough for animals and the humans who love them
Yeah, no kidding. Molly was my dumbest goat 😆. I had 2 guardian dogs and the goats didn't mess with the Anatolian Shepherd, but Molly picked on my poor little Pyrenees. Molly had a huge tumor on her neck and couldn't eat anymore, so I had the vet put her down. I can't stand shooting them.
I agree. My daughter thought it was cute and encouraged the head butting with one of our baby goats. That goat head butted me (on the shins!) and the guardian dog her entire life. She stole the guardian dog's food, too, so I had to stand guard, every day, for years
Yeah, but at least our state superintendent Ryan Walters used education funds to buy Trump Bibles for every classroom in Oklahoma! You don't see Massachusetts doing that. 😉 (just making sure everyone knows this is satire)
Do kids still pick teams for games like kick ball, etc? I remember the humiliation of being picked second to last at summer camp. Unbeknownst to them at the time, despite being a skinny kid with frizzy red hair, I was a decent (good?) athlete. Crazy that I still remember that, 45 years later
The "mkay" at the end is so condescending and he does it all the time
I found some a couple of days ago by my house. I thought it was a mushroom. An herbal medicine article said it appears when needed for someone in pain and is an effective pain reliever. What's really crazy is that I had severe back pain and got an epidural steroid injection less than a week ago
They said the ex-wife's Facebook post was taken down. Gee, I wonder why. Amazing that trophy hunters don't know they're despised by decent people
I grew up near Houston in the 70's/80's. We had good schools that were racially diverse and we all got along great. My family/friends weren't racist then, but they are now. I used to laugh at the Limbaugh BS, but I blame him for turning my parents to the dark side
Adorable hedgehog unwraps himself completely for that snack…. 😊 #bluesky
As a doctor myself, we are in the business of serving others. If your religion prohibits you from performing your job, you need to find another line of work. That being said, I've encountered many judgmental patriarchal physicians
This is a legitimately incredible result that hints at something fundamental about plasmids that we don’t yet understand
Try Seth Meyers. He and Colbert are my favorites
Friendship that will last till the end… 🥹
My shed groundhog, chilling on the retaining wall
Stewart/Colbert 2028!
Someone I know who saw the Aurora in Alaska said there was a crackling noise
Once you see it, you can't unsee it
Not when they constantly yelled at you (a doctor) about how Covid is a hoax and evil doctors profited off vaccines. Maybe if they apologized, but I won't hold my breath
Look how Rutte is leaning away from him. I bet he's due for a diaper change 😆
I found court documents from the Katie Johnson trial a few years ago. I'd find it for you, but reading it gave me nightmares. Epstein and he fought over taking her virginity. Disgusting child predators
But that doesn't apply to fetuses, for some reason
If you question anything as a Catholic, you're immediately reminded of Doubting Thomas
Why is ICE even in Canada?
One very bright spot that we took advantage of is a public school, Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics, where they offer college-level courses. My kids luckily were accepted and received an excellent education. Unfortunately, it's only for high school juniors and seniors
No, definitely not. Our teachers go to states with higher pay, mostly Texas. Anyone can teach in our public schools, no education degree required. One of our highly regarded STEM teachers teaches that oil is a renewable resource, which I guess it is, if you have several million years to wait
Last I checked, stealing is not condoned in the Bible either. Or being rich (camel, eye of needle, whatever the verse is)
Hang in there! It's okay to say it's hard. It was the most demanding time of my life, more than 100-hour weeks as a medical resident. Moms are on call 24/7 for 18 years!
Then, you go into preterm labor, can't get to a hospital, and deliver your premature baby at home. If the baby dies, you get accused of a self-induced abortion and get prosecuted
Oh, don't worry. They'll start kicking Medicaid-dependent nursing home patients out well before mid-terms. MAGAs will have their grandparents moving in with them and all the cheap domestic help will be deported. Changing adult diapers won't make them vote D, though
Some rural physicians aren't worried about Medicaid cuts causing hospitals to close. I don't understand how professionals whose work is evidence-based can be so uninformed. #Medsky
I watched a Mexican stonemason on an extension ladder (not super stable) using a chisel hammer to break 20lb limestone bricks against his thigh. They were building a stone wall. These guys are highly skilled
Having stockholders gives the company an excuse to do horrible things in the name of fiduciary duty. The stockholders blame the evil deeds on the company. No one is responsible
I don't understand why hypocrisy is suddenly acceptable and integrity is irrelevant
His headstone is going to be decorated like the insurrectionists decorated the rotunda
I took a rare moment to cry last night. I think it's the total lack of empathy that's so depressing
I heard that notification letters will go out in advance, especially for nursing home residents who will have to come up with the shortfall or move out. Rural hospitals in OK already know they're going to have to cut about 10%. Their profit margins are about 1%. Good times ahead
She probably blames evil spirits for getting her pregnant out of wedlock
As the only liberal in Oklahoma, I can tell you they don't care one bit about my opinion. I call their offices and they don't even ask my name to confirm that I'm in their district. Some don't even have a real human answering their phones, so I just leave a message that will never be heard
We called them "Bible Thumpers". Turns out we should have taken them more seriously
Unfortunately, the cuts don't take effect until December 2027, so they'll all get re-elected first
I read that the cuts start after midterms in 2026, so they'll all get re-elected before the carnage starts
I read that the school is expected to have alternative lessons to accommodate the bigoted parents. Why don't they tell them they need to come pick their kids up during objectionable classes? I bet they'd get tolerant real quick
I don't understand how people don't see how evil he is. Anyone who has known a narcissist or been assaulted recognizes the red flags
PP should play the same semantics game Bondi does and rename themselves Christian Patriot's Pregnancy Crisis Center but provide the same services
A demented, sociopathic narcissist
He needs to seek asylum in Canada. He'll never be safe in the US
15 MILLION dollars to offset 800 BILLION in cuts? Do these guys understand elementary school math?
I think they want an excuse to deny claims. They'll use the monitors like Big Brother, so if you do something unhealthy, you're kicked off completely. Eugenics
It's the Christian loophole. You'll get into heaven, even if you're a serial killer, as long as you ask for God's forgiveness before you die. It's very convenient!
If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.
The federal government funds residency programs, too. Those could get cut or DEI'd and worsen the US doctor shortage
It looks like the state of Montana is excluded. I wonder why
Exactly what I was thinking! ICE probably can't even identify each other so protestors could show up in uniform, saying they have orders to stand down, and let the people go. Mass confusion 😀
The basic point here is, what Lee is saying is not true, but even if it were, who cares? Whether the assailant is a Marxist or Democrat doesn’t make the act less worthy of condemnation. More on moral disengagement in this post, from my Substack course open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
One potential problem is that it might be difficult to get attorneys to take legitimate cases because they work with law enforcement. Plenty of people would file nuisance suits to try to win some cash, but that could be dealt with by making the loser pay expenses
That's basically how it works with doctors employed by hospitals. The hospital pays the premium, so they have some input into whether the case should be settled or taken to court. The hospital is usually named in the suit, too, because they are the employer.
We get sued when we're genuinely trying to help people and did nothing wrong. Most of us have been frivolously sued and had to settle because it's too expensive to fight, even with insurance. Premiums run about 25% of income! Qualified immunity is BS
