I tire of the increasing use of obscenity as a cheap literary attention-grabbing device. But Manson gets a free pass. His perspectives are well worth an occasional ear bleed.

Love the houses. I want one. But do we really need to call it a war?

[Aspen Ideas @aspenideas]

.@drbillthomas is waging war against the nursing home industry by creating small, senior-friendly houses (don't dare call them 'tiny houses,' he says). https://t.co/HPxGJoQwHp @statnews

Epictetus—the first PDPM consultant.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

“In life our first job is this, to divide and distinguish things into two categories: externals I cannot control, but the choices I make with regard to them I do control. Where will I find good and bad? In me, in my choices.” Epictetus

In our latest Editors' Notes, John O'Connor ponders whether long-term care should be part of the Department of Defense and its more than $700B budget. https://t.co/nUkAD9nAjj

All true. And yet, here I am.

"For more than a decade now, many people in media and technology have been feeding an hour or two of Twitter into our brains every single day...Twitter is a highly individual experience that works like a collective hallucination, not a community."

[The New York Times @nytimes]

An increasing body of evidence suggests that the time we spend on our smartphones is interfering with our:
—sleep
—self-esteem
—relationships
—memory
—attention spans
—creativity
—productivity
—problem-solving and decision-making skills

This resonates personally, as I definitely feel half of me will need care by 2029. At this point, it’s likely to be the top half.

[McKnight's LTC News @mcknightsltcn]

More than half of middle-income seniors could need care, housing by 2029, new @Natl_Inv_Ctr-funded study finds (via @_McKnightsSL). https://t.co/7XXkvKmej0

Yikes! (How’s that for insightful commentary?)

Thanks for propagating my favorite acronym, but sadly, even under PDPM I won’t get paid each time it’s repeated.

[McKnight's LTC News @mcknightsltcn]

What does the acronym "PDPM" really stand for? @JimBerklan runs through a few options in our latest Editors' Notes, including “Please Don’t Pimp Me” and simply “Please Do Pay Me.” https://t.co/hjSJmmFt3L

[GaryofTetz @GaryofTetz]

Great job, McKnight’s, as always.

[James M. Berklan @JimBerklan]

Proud to say that when you read @mcknightsltcn or @_McKnightsSL stories, you've made excellent choices. Here's one reason why: https://t.co/N8pxl0Lgz0 Congrats to all involved! @ahcancal @LeadingAge
