    What caught your attention in the world today?

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Would love to be a fly on the wall at that screening. Given Fox's record, I suspect we'll hear no more about it or that a specialist in deep fakes is about to make a s**t ton of

    Of course. Luckily, bonkers statements don't cut it in court. Am watching Jack Smith, the Georgia grand jury and the various defamation suits going on, with CSPAN coverage of the House of...

    I'm hopefully skeptical. Mass media are notorious for premature, over optimistic and oversimplified trumpeting of scientific advances. So ... I will watch and

    Speaking of Fox News, Jon Stewart had a fascinating discussion on his podcast on the subject of the Dominion defamation suit. Dominion has moved for summary judgement based on documentation that Fox,...

    It's all lifted straight from Fox. I just watched some clips from their talking heads and it was deja vu all over again. Luckily, no one's paying much attention to what the clown brigade...

    Thank you Captain Obvious. 98% of politics is stagecraft. So what? The question for me is whether it was effective messaging. Since I'm not a Ukrainian living with a shooting war in my back yard...

    Incident Report On Pt Who Voiced Suicidal Ideation

    heron replied to treeye's topic in General Specialties

    Good question. How much is overkill? Your medical director and facility risk manager need to consult EMS and come up with a policy/procedure. In the absence of a concrete procedure, I vote for...

    I wanna see the Mueller report and compare the pre- and post- Barr versions. Meanwhile, I hope someone is able to preserve the pre-Fox version of those hours. The truth is out there

    heron replied to Roitrn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm an old faht and not particularly interested in re-inventing the wheel. Let us stipulate that bias is built-in across the board. It's part of being human, hardwired in our genes. It's only prudent...

    I heard "Bagman" quite a while back. At 73 years old, my eyes aren't what they used to be. I found Rise and Fall on audiobooks. I don't follow MTG - I'll have to look up this national...

    I may not finish it, but I certainly have the time since I've recently retired. I recently listened to Rachel Maddow's podcast "Ultra", recommended to me by TMB (thanks, dude) and want to get a...

    Incident Report On Pt Who Voiced Suicidal Ideation

    heron replied to treeye's topic in General Specialties

    It's a big deal. On the inpatient units I've worked, SI with or without a plan required immediate 1:1 suicide watch. Once we have assumed responsibility for a patient, we are responsible for ensuring...

    Speaking of Nick Fuentes, I'm about to revisit "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer. I last read it in my late teens, so given how times have changed, it should be interesting to...

    Actually, I learned it in junior high. No one here has even hinted that there's any such thing as unbiased media. It's impossible. So - how do you propose to solve the problem of discerning the...
