Pediatric. Oncologist. That dude is an absolute hero and treasure for taking on such a horrible and bleak profession. I hate that those words are combined in existence at all. God I'm so ashamed to be an American.

Some people are built different. My dad worked as a pediatric hospice nurse for almost 10 years. Talk about a shitty sad job. Every single patient is a child and every single one of them is GOING to die on your watch. Fuck THAT. I do not know how he did it.
Now that is a hero
I figure we have to have some angels to balance out the demons that end up in positions of prominence in our societies.

is the title a pun on "depart-ment of education"?
It's from a presidential directive for dissolving the "Departmen of Education"
It does appear to be so.
This is a sign we are collapasing. When the smart people wanna leave we are left with a bunch of narrow minded, uneducated people.
I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They're talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.
Most people aren't - but the number is now non-zero.
Welcome to Europe! You get to keep your healthcare plans into retirement!
Why use Meta when Mastodon is available? The less we all use corporate social media the more resilient we become.
You have to say that on Meta if you want them to read it.
You have to keep evangelizing. They've likely never heard of it.
Exactly. We need to get really obnoxious with the promotion

Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.
brain drain
and women
Of course.
I'll mention you probably missed the Depart men(t) of Education wordplay in the title.
And the children, too.

Wont last long until only the abolutely immoral scientists remain that are willing to experiment on political prisoners.
Replacing education with idiots. The perfect republican scenario.
Whoever does not realize that THIS IS FAR MORE DEVASTATING than any nuclear bomb or even SIGNED capitulation in a war - is nothing else but an utter fool.
