@escola_crypto @SharpFootball Respect the hell out of that answer. Wish FIFA was farther away from NBA than it is but it’s the world we live in

@escola_crypto @SharpFootball Not even a foul called on this

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.

His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

James’ six kids are now without their father.

In the last two years, he had to sell his Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to help pay for his cancer treatment.

His castmates had to put on a show to help cover his medical expenses.

There was absolutely no reason Sony Pictures (which owns Dawson’s Creek) couldn’t have quietly paid for his treatment, considering how much the show has made for them over the years, long after it ended.

Now his wife, Kimberly, is a widow with six children.

I realize she may be better off than some, but it’s still a pretty awful situation given how much money the show generated.

This is the most wonderful and astonishing thing I've seen in a damn long while. Thank you, Ian and @StephenAtHome.

A plea to restaurant/bar owners:

Treat the Artemis II launch like a sporting event. Put it on all your tvs. Let patrons celebrate the brave crew as they return to the moon for the first time in 54 years.

This is a shared human success and should be experienced as such.

What’s funny about infant mortality is that America has a higher rate because we aggressively try to save preterm births.

Essentially countries like Canada and Europe will just allow babies to die and don’t count it because they weren’t “viable” while in America we try to save them and when that tragically fails we include it in IMR statistics.

I recently took @tszzl and @RichardHanania (true story lolz-and both advisors to my new venture in full disclosure) to one of the countries largest academic medical centers.

@tszzl has since wrote a viral X thread thats worth reading again https://t.co/2LCP2VOVdg

It speaks for itself. I'll just add if he's surprised by the missing data .....he'd be further surprised by the data we do capture: fragmented, delayed, and built for billing, not clinical insight. It tells us very little about human disease and how to truly treat it.

Epic Systems is at the center of this monumental failure.

Simply put: AI cannot reach its full potential in medicine while Epic Systems controls the underlying data architecture. The ideas are fundamentally oppositional at their core.

I explain why Epic's culture, regulatory inertia, and the staggering $1B sunk costs of its clients do not guarantee its dominance but if anything bring a slow march into irrelevance.

Hahaha we made it as a Field Goal distraction. Thank You @VandalFootball

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

I gotta say, I have mad respect for @cenkuygur these last few days

Wildly different politics but he is one of the good ones. He disagrees and is dignified, he has fought for the humanity of his political opponents. And he's doing it when it might hurt him with his own team.

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

In a moment of crisis, look for the good ones. They might not be who you expected. But they are much easier to see.
