The Death Certificate Brick Wall:

🧱Death certificates are not just paperwork. They shape family records, public health data, legal review, and the historical record.

🧱Errors in death certification are not rare, especially with accuracy, completeness, and causal sequencing.

🧱A death certificate should explain why the person died when they did — not just list diagnoses they carried in life.

🧱When the certificate conflicts with medical records, families may have evidence but still no clear path to correction.

🧱Correction often depends on someone with legal authority agreeing to act — and that is where many families hit the brick wall.

Loyalty Deserves Loyalty:

@elonmusk

🚀In 2024, you said: “If any of my companies goes public, we will prioritize … Tesla. Loyalty deserves loyalty.”

🚀In 2020, you said: “Small retail investors” would be a “top priority” and added: “You can hold me to it.”

🚀If a SpaceX IPO is coming, where are the longtime #TSLA holders who stayed loyal through the tough years?

🚀You left California and called out government leaders when promises weren’t kept. Hold yourself to that same standard.

#SpaceXIPO
#LoyaltyDeservesLoyalty 🚀

@JMBpreps Aside from you, none of these sports reporters have ever covered cross country or track. But since everyone is suddenly an expert and the sport is apparently popular now, does HighSchoolOT need an XC/Track reporter who actually knows the sport?

I can send my résumé!

[Paul Lockwood @CoachLAFHS]

@scott_fowler I’m not going to speak on the call because I wasn’t there and don’t have all the facts. But the real travesty is that track & field only gets coverage when there’s drama. Since you’re in CLT, I’d challenge you to write about @cuttytrack boys winning a state title this weekend.

[Paul Lockwood @CoachLAFHS]

@NickStevensHS @dhenry_nc The “expert” comment was aimed at the track version of armchair QBs. I wasn’t there, but as a coach, especially after a warning, if we only had to finish to win a state title, I’d tell them: run through the line and celebrate off the track.

[Paul Lockwood @CoachLAFHS]

@dhenry_nc @NickStevensHS Funny how the “experts” only pipe up when there’s controversy. No one has the full story - just partial clips. You have no clue what was said around that finish line. The real issue is that no one enforces the rules until the postseason.

@FlyFrontier DEN’s outdoor deck is undefeated today — sunshine, mountain air, and a Frontier plane casually passing by. GoWild! life looks pretty good from here. ✈️☀️

The IVF Lottery:

🧑‍🧑‍🧒Infertility is a recognized medical condition affecting about 1 in 8 couples in the U.S.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒IVF is an established, evidence-based treatment.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒For many patients, insurance coverage already makes treatment possible.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒But for many others, access still depends heavily on geography and insurance design.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒In some states, IVF is treated as routine care. In others, families face tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs, putting treatment out of reach for many.

➡️The result is a two-tier system for the same medical condition.

[Paul Lockwood @CoachLAFHS]

Flew up from Raleigh for the @Canes game. Decided to seen an Eagles game before my flight.

Of all the places to meet @CoachSBeamer, an Eagles game wasn’t one of them!

Thanks for taking the time to take a picture, and enjoy the rest of your father-son weekend! Go Cocks! 🐔🤙🏼

What Encompass Health Doesn’t Want You to See:

🚨Exposé of hidden dangers:
On July 15, 2025, The New York Times + KFF Health News revealed Encompass Health rehab hospitals were dangerous — deadly failures like med errors, ignored alarms, even construction hazards that killed patients.

🚨No public warning:
These dangers weren’t disclosed. Families had no way to know the risks.

🚨Systemic safety breakdowns:
Regulators cited “immediate jeopardy” violations — the most serious — yet Encompass still sold itself as “quality care.”

🚨National impact:
Many Encompass hospitals rank among the worst for preventable readmissions, harming patients. The exposé triggered a 10% stock crash in one day — over $1B lost. Law firms now say investors were misled while patients paid the price.

🚨At its core:
This isn’t about Wall Street. It’s about patients who trusted Encompass and instead faced preventable harm and death.
