Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

We have time to choose a Dem candidate who won't throw a targeted minority under the bus for his campaign donors.
All of us have rights or none of us do. Let's remember that before we make Governor Haircut the lesser of two evils in 2028.

"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state."
He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions".

Homeland Security 25 Years Later: Time to Rethink and Rebuild?
The DHS constructed by Congress in 2002 is now outdated, reviled by many, and was flawed from the start. Time to rethink and rebuild.

The Buffalo Bills announced that they will play both the American and Canadian national anthem for the first time at the Highmark Stadium opener.
They're definitely making a push to expand their fanbase in southern Ontario, and this shows unity as a border city. The Sabres have always done this.

For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes.
