that a physician's office doesn't realize there's a fundamental difference between patients who don't show up without canceling their appointment and patients showing up who allegedly did cancel their appointment is amazing

Me: refusing to engage in patient portal. Them: aren't you on our side? me: absolutely not Them: you have to fill out forms online me: I have dsylexia so no Them: you have to complete the PHQ-9 me: you know my profession, right? Hard pass not medically necessary nor is it a valid screening

"Every day we get people coming in who cancelled their appointments by accident and never knew it. You must have done that." "I didn't — but if this happens every day to your patients, doesn't that indicate a very serious problem with the UI you are using and the quality of care you are providing?"

Trump's speech was almost three times the length of the one that almost wrecked Bill Clinton as a national political figure in 1988 for being too long.

My friend @mehr.nz and colleagues have a fun new online game that is also part of a public science research study. I suspect more than half of you all can beat my 50th percentile on music. Can more than a sixth of you beat my 86th percentile on color?

check out our newest citizen-science experiment, Tone Guesser! 🎶🧪🧠 this game, led by @courtneybhilton.bsky.social, taps your visual and auditory perception to test your intuitions for how color tones and music tones fit together. can you beat my score? try it at themusiclab.org/quizzes/toneguesser

Once again I see none of this blatantly horrifically racist parade of horribles on the news. It’s all “Biden old”. They are deliberately ignoring the horrors of a Trump presidency. WTF are they thinking?

In case you missed it this was one of the official signs handed out by the RNC for delegates to wave. Not a joke, not a.i.

Is this a star or a galaxy? This object may have Hubble’s signature four-pointed diffraction spikes, but it’s a galaxy, not a star! It appears so small because it is an ultracompact dwarf galaxy that has 140 million stars crammed into it. Credit: NASA, ESA. 🔭 🧪

Once upon a time, in my parent's generation, a high price tag was assumed to be protective against shoddy quality. That price reflected the production cost, and therefore the quality of the final product, the argument went. But lol nah, everything's cut corners and garbage now. Thanks capitalism.

it's incredible that *even today*, with the stories about his mother's addiction and sobriety and his mee maw's 19 guns hidden under the bed, the guy's entire claim to political cred is *still*, all these years later, based on publicly debasing and humiliating the women who raised him.

i'm not gonna claim to have some kind of insight into the republican voter's psyche, but, like, i think you can easily see during vance's speech why rupert murdoch was so insistent that vance wasn't ready for prime time, and trump's not in any position to mentor or coach him.

July’s successful streak continues with another classic target I've been chasing for three years and thought was impossible from my house, the Trifid Nebula. I had to deal with a sky never really clear and a very low transit, peaking right in the light pollution zone. #Astrophotography #Astronomy
