It has nothing to do with Cracker Barrel and everything to do with distracting from the fact that Jeffrey Epstein said he was Donald Trump‘s best friend for 15 years. Release the files.

I don’t know where your 30% number comes from, but 54% of Americans read at a 6th grade level or below. 6th grade or lower. Can sound out words and even “read” sentences but cannot synthesize the ideas in the paragraph. Now, give them social media. www.barbarabush.org/wp-content/u...
Particularly us olds. Until the late 90s, there was no way to easily check the truth of anything! When I grew up, someone could make any claim and you just had to either choose to believe them or not believe them. Older people just never developed the habit, particularly if not highly educated.
The Zillow listings he’s looking at:
Something you experience as a parent is the bar goes up for every phase of childhood vs what you experienced — birthday parties, clothes, vacations, activities — and I think it’s largely related to how real incomes and wealth are up significantly since you were a kid.
Anya was pretty mind blowing back in the early 90’s. And Enigma a few years later. Trend setters.
A+ reference!

i think chatgpt has really illustrated how, for many people, the answer to “how do you know something to be true?” is “someone tells you”
Like selling it? Or working in the industry and being an actuary or some such?
I guess it doesn’t. I missed the intent of your implied air quotes in your post. Thought you were using them literally.
Doctors didn’t recommend them but they used fraudulent advertising to convey that idea. youtu.be/gCMzjJjuxQI
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
Ryan have you seen this quote?: “Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.” Edmund Burke
Didn’t realize that happened in Des Moines Iowa.

Release his files.
What’s his greatest work in your opinion? (Also, what do you think defined “greatest?”) I like the log from the Sea of Cortez, Travels with Charlie, the Cannery Riw books.
That is not why you can’t have metal in the MRI suite, it’s so someone doesn’t die (such as this case.) the image quality issue you describe is not the reason.
For a reader like me, this was a long haul but worth every minute. It's a no-stones-left-unturned expose into Jeffrey Epstein's sordid life that removes any doubt over his depravities. Leland Nally did a commendable job putting it together. How it didn't get more play I'll never understand.
It sounds like you are describing “good manners.”
That this exists makes me so happy.
My heart goes out to you. So sorry.
Oh man, read Robert Caro’s books on Lyndon Baines Johnson’s political life. There was a LOT of malignant narcissism, self enrichment, and sexual shenanigans going on there.

No disagreement there.
You may be right. FWIW I never witnessed it happen in my med school career in the 1990’s but that’s just my experience.
If this article from the Ob-Gyn literature is accurate, there have been more women than men in Ob-Gyn training since 1986 (nearly 40 years ago) and 2/3 of practicing Ob-Gyns are women. In what way do you think of the field as male-dominated? jcgo.org/index.php/jc...
Not arguing with you but you may be interested to learn that in the modern age, when you speak of a generic stereotypical “medical student,” that is a woman. Med school classes have been majority female since 2017. www.aamc.org/news/press-r...
Just to elevate the discussion: cadavers wouldn’t work, the tissues are not comparable. But for decades, most med schools have paid “professional patients” who are paid to allow med students to learn how to perform pelvic exams. They are often nurses, and very committed to teaching the skill.
Just for factual accuracy, US medical school classes are majority female since 2017. Don’t know that it makes it better or worse but there you go. www.aamc.org/news/press-r...
Med students and resident trainees are typically the driving force behind all interesting changes in the Am Med Association as well. They are so impressive, and often called “the conscience of the AMA.”
Sinners is amazing and complex. Nothing unintentional, no image or line wasted.
May I introduce you to the work of Francisco Goya.
Happy July 1st! Reminders for incoming residents: You are enough. You’re still learning and that’s okay. Be kind to yourself. You don’t need to be perfect. The word you’re looking for is purulent.
Just was thinking how I started Residency (hands-on physician training) 27 years ago this week. Time sure does fly.
My state med school tuition was $10,000/year 1983-1998.
This is significant part of the practice of all Radiologists. Just waste. Not easy money, frustrating money. Pointless money. Although a lot of of us have thrown in the towel on it.
I have Pathologist friends. I can report to you that they do not get called on call very much.
Great column. I shared it with my Millennial daughter as well and had a nice talk about it.
Let me tell ya, it was a sobering thought when it first occurred to me a couple years ago. I literally could have delivered them on my OB/Gyn rotation. Also, they are all born in this century whereas I announce “I come to you from the 1900s to teach you.”
My Hotmail account is now older than the medical students I teach.
I know that phonebook!

Next thing you know those immigrants will demand that the name of LA be changed to something Hispanic

“Kayfabe” is the term you’re looking for.
Deep cut. 10/10.
I don’t know if that’s a serious statement or not but if that represents reality, I’m not surprised at all. The information in that book is not immediately relevant or useful to them at that moment. The school should instead give the book to them on Match day.

Thank you for posting that. That was an interesting read.
Fascinating. Do you happen to know why they took them off the SAT scores after 2005? I would assume it would be part of basic reading comprehension.
All I know is that issue is part of why Leon Kowalsky failed his Voight-Kampf test.
The Rotten Tomatoes site agrees with you.
Can not recommend.
Why?
I read a whole book about it a few years ago. Quite something.

Wait’ll you get a load of this story then: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_o...
It’s a woozle. One of my most hated.
My best friend is finishing third year med school and when she’s having a hard time I like to remind her that the system is designed to function with cocaine. They took the legal stimulants away and it’s not your fault you’re struggling without the load-bearing cocaine.
They just “hide” it, amirite??
Appropriate name.
Your HAVC maintenance service thanks you for living in an area with cottonwoods. Clogs up our air conditioner filter every year and needs to be cleaned out.
Beanie babies also fit that description. And my mom’s basement full of “limited edition” Avon products.
Sciurus genus mukbang.
It’s tragic (and bananas) that we tolerate losing approximately 400 docs (1-2 whole graduating med school classes) to suicide every year. As you said, it should be a never event.
For the portion of the population who can’t think beyond a world that is purely transactional, it *is* profound.
Scam the elderly, you say?
I would have seriously thought about stealing a pup and raising it as a house dog. But I also might be enthralled by the Twilight movies.

Wait I’m local what are you talking about?

Let’s be honest: it’s “The One Crazy Trick Your Wife Won’t Believe”.

Or click bait. They always click the click bait.
Your description applies to Gen X I think. College without the internet (but with computers), then work existence with the internet. Is that what you mean!
Like some pastiche of “The Shining” moments.
Language, Ben, careful with the language.
Serious question: what’s the most expensive *beer* you’ll enjoy without caring about the cost?
