        I don't understand how anyone with an institutional role that is publicly visible posts political shit on social media. I never did post political shit except for our little hideout here, and now as chair of the Foundation I'm even more careful.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          As it befits your position to be. As amazing as it may seem, some things are more important than publicly airing our opinions.

            Indeed. If you look at my Faceypage, you'll see

            1. It's not my real name ("V" is my middle initial, in case you're wondering).
            2. There's nothing political or controversial there.

            I decided that when I established the account (before I retired). Last thing I wanted was some patient looking me up.

            Yeah, if you're really dedicated, you can find my kids and their last names, but...

                      Though I disagree with Fetterman on countless issues, he came across with some remarkable clarity.

                      Also, watching the man speak is interesting. It looks like he's made significant progress in his recovery from his CVA.

                      Good for him.

                          That should be criminal menacing of some sort. It’s definitely a threat.

                                Something a bit more anodyne.

                                Just a bit...

                                image.png

                                Dr. Tosca is at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) where she teaches...

                                ...climate science.

                                At the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

                                D1 went to SAIC - I don't think climate science was in her curriculum, but I might be wrong.

                                Dr. Mika...

                                image.png

                                Kind of a Mulvaney vibe going, no?

                                Yeah...

                                Screenshot 2023-10-19 at 10.17.09 PM.png

                                Def a Mulvaney vibe.

                                Apology...

                                “Yesterday I wrote some things on my Instagram story that I unequivocally reject and do not stand behind,” Tosca wrote.

                                “I am deeply sorry for writing what I wrote, and for hurting many people with my words, and I am especially sorry to Israeli people that I broadly placed at fault for the war.”
