    Look up the definition of schtick. Not backing away from anything. Also not going down the rabbit hole you're so desperate to resurrect. I'm more concerned about an obvious wingnut holding...

    I don't follow the whole uproar over trans people in sports, but I've noticed a particular concern over the potential advantage conferred by the biological effects of male hormones on physical...

    If the reference is to one of my posts, you need to tell the truth and shame the devil. I don't think I ever claimed the Biden decline narrative was fabricated but that it was exaggerated and...

    So ... I recently read two race-baiting posts from magadonian members. It led me to look over there to see what they're up to. Behold: a gaggle of white afrikaners are getting special treatmen as...

    Security considerations seem to be a bit of a non sequitur these days, given the data looting by the doge bros and trump's lobotomieed executive

    heron replied to Beth Braley's topic in Patient Medications

    So ... what is your question? Meanwhile, I have a few question of my own: What is her hospice diagnosis? Co-morbidities? What is her hospice level of care? Does her history include...

    Umm ... baloney. Yes, Biden's party and campaign strategists flubbed the issue badly, but not for the reasons you implied. The whole Biden decline schtick was designed to distract from trump's mental...

    One of the core responsibilities of hospice nursing is teaching caregivers how to approach the more distressing symptoms common to people who are dying. Behavior changes are common in neurological...

    "The media" covers a lot of territory. Watching-reading-listening to it is a graduate course in manipulation. Fascinating to watch what they're not talking about ... the parts we're not supposed to...

    Including the US electorate. Not just trump voters, either. Eligible voters who didn't bother and "alternative candidate" voters fell for the scam, too. Biden's age was certainly a valid concern,...

    Well, whatever it's called, it's dishonest and deliberately offensive. What's so tragic (for him) is that he's spending so much energy trying to win a culture war that's already over. Non-binary and...

    Misgendering a trans person has been an issue pretty much since gender re-assignment care has been available. Putting aside the potential harm it can cause, there's a simple matter of courtesy. It...

    That popcorn done, yet? You asked a question so over-generalized that it's practically meaningless. I gave some of the points that came immediately to mind as I read it. It was interesting to...

    Re "fear-stoking rhetoric" - just think of me as AN's very own canary. It's what radical thought is for, sociologically speaking. I very much hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Who's the...
