Comment: Finding hope in the ‘good bones’ of a democracy
“Any decent realtor, walking you through a real s***hole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? Not every devastation needs to be followed immediately with vow to get up, resist, hope. American women were voting for their lives and health care; American men were voting for … not that. Maybe tomorrow you can try a new kind of ice cream. Maybe tomorrow you can find a tree that hasn’t lost all of its leaves yet, and look at how yellow and red they are.

North Korean troops clashed with Ukraine forces, says NYT
NEW YORK: North Korean troops have engaged in clashes against Ukrainian forces that are fighting in the Russian Kursk region, the New York Times reported late on Tuesday, citing an unnamed senior US official and an unnamed senior Ukrainian official. The engagement was limited, the Ukrainian official told the newspaper and likely meant to probe the Ukrainian lines for weaknesses. The Ukrainian official added that the North Korean troops fought together with Russia’s 810 Separate Naval Infantry Brigade. The Pentagon said on Monday that there were at least 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia’s Kursk but could not corroborate reports that they were engaged in combat. Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov said in an interview with South Korean television that the first engagement had occurred with North Korean troops.

Listen to the full episode by pressing play:“I think the first thing to remember about this is that you cannot make it better,” Shear told us. “[When we’re grieving], we don’t necessarily want to stop crying ... and we don’t want people around us to feel uncomfortable, either.”Instead of trying to “make everything better,” Shear suggested we concentrate on showing the grieving person that we’re there for them. Too often, she said, we avoid bringing up the deceased for fear of causing more pain, but often, memories are exactly what the grieving person is longing to share.

Processing Post-election Reactions: Our Patients, Ourselves
COMMENTARYB Rice/Adobestock“Nightmare begins responsibility.” –Michael S. Harper, MA, MFA (1938-2016)And so, the long, exhausting slog to the presidential election is finally over. It hardly needs saying that we must avoid imposing our own political views on our patients. In that context, there is potential for invading and exploiting the treatment relationship, especially when patients are asked to support political causes. Psychiatrists should refrain from attempting to influence the patient’s political views, although they may promote the patient’s civic engagement. Carmack HJ, DeGroot J M.

Poker legend Daniel Negreanu unleashes on Democrats for choosing Harris, weaponizing race and gender
World Series of Poker champion Daniel Negreanu wrote a scathing condemnation of the Democratic Party in an X post Wednesday after President-elect Trump’s election victory. Negreanu, a Canadian and vegan, bashed the party through a series of points. You discarded and defamed Tulsi Gabbard,” Negreanu wrote.” You didn’t invite Elon Musk to a summit on electric vehicles? You blocked Robbert Kennedy Jr. and others from having any path to make their cause in a primary. He previously wrote an article in which he praised Obama while criticizing the choice by John McCain to select Sarah Palin as a running mate in the 2008 election.

What exactly is the privacy agreement that's been made, perhaps on the patients' behalf, by the health care system? Different health care systems are making different deals, and ... many are doing a good job of this. “This is being piloted at many different health care systems right now,” Dr. Tolchin said. He cautioned that LLM models may be a technological fix for something that is more of a structural problem with the way health care is delivered. And I worry that the natural inclination of humans will be to say, ‘Oh, this is good enough,’” Dr. Tolchin said.

Navigating the Challenges of DEI Backlash
In recent years, the term DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) has faced criticism, with concerns about tokenism, biases and division taking centre stage in management discussions. Ironically, the backlash against DEI efforts stems from their success; as with any significant social change, resistance is inevitable. Whether the DEI acronym stays or is replaced, or companies focus on inclusion and belonging to avoid backlash, the work does not change. It will take senior leaders supporting DEI and standing up to naysayers who are part of the backlash for DEI to be successful long-term. Regardless of whether the DEI acronym remains, evolves, or shifts focus to inclusion and belonging to mitigate backlash, the core work remains unchanged.
