- Gun violence is an American scourge and the obvious solution is regulation of weapons of war, like in other countries. You don’t need a sniper rifle. And if you tell me it’s people not guns who kill people, fine, then stop selling weapons to violent people. Do something.

- If you are a journalist concerned about deaths resulting from treatment in detention camps please reach out. We are likely missing deaths when people are released from custody before they die & deaths are not being reported to medical examiners or coroners. amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
- Of course I meant “essential reading” & “in forensic decisions” but autocorrect thinks it knows better. This is why AI & predictive text will never replace people. Errors were caught by my brilliant office manager - a human.

- The other day TJ @workingstiff.bsky.social asked me how my day was & I told him I autopsied a decedent who was known to “smoke like a fish” which was my mash-up of “drink like a fish” (alcoholic) and “smoke like a chimney” (cigarettes). Given that smoked fish is a thing, it made sense to me.
