Will Ferrell admits that he faked an elite athletic career just to escape working a theme park ticket kiosk at Disneyland
"I got a job and you're paid for the orientation day to work at Disneyland"
"They assigned me uh one of the front uh kiosks for selling tickets"
"At the same time I had a rival offer to work at a friend's surf shop... same pay, 5.50 an hour"
"My friend John called on my behalf and said uh I will be quitting after one day because I have a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys"
"So somewhere there's a file at Disney corporate. It says Will Ferrell worked for one day, reason for leaving: tryout with the Dallas Cowboys football team"
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
- 2 Corinthians 4:18 📖NIV
When everything’s hitting at once—texts, problems, pressure, or people needing answers. A strong leader doesn’t speed up, they slow down. They get clear.
They step back and ask, What actually matters right now? What do I believe in? Who do I want to be in this moment?
They don’t get swept up in the chaos. They don’t try to fix it all at once. They come back to their purpose, their values, and let that guide their next decision.
Hey guys I had to take a course and get recertified as "HIPAA COMPLIANT", which means I know the difference between the terms "information security" and "information privacy". These are very important definitions and are not at all a complete waste of everyone's time! 😂
The OIG pulled prior auth data from the 19 largest Medicare Advantage insurers. Two numbers tell the whole story.
Plans denied 65 percent of requests for the most expensive post-acute setting. And when skilled nursing denials were appealed, plans reversed themselves 95 percent of the time.
The denial is not a clinical judgment. It is a bet that no one fights back.

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
Maturity taught me that not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And that’s okay!
Some are Deborahs: Called to lead, to speak boldly, and to stand on the front lines.
Some are Ruths: Faithful in quiet places, steady when no one is watching.
Some are Esthers: Positioned for influence, courage rising at the exact moment it’s needed.
Some are Marys: Chosen for surrender, carrying purpose before understanding.
Some are Hannahs: Shaped by prayer, strengthened through waiting and tears.
NEWS: A Tesla Model Y driver having a heart attack survived because his son remotely rerouted the car to a hospital using FSD Supervised.
The driver felt chest pain mid-drive and called his son.
His son guided the car through the Tesla app to the nearest hospital.
He also called the hospital so ER staff were waiting on arrival.
Doctors later said the quick reroute likely saved his life.
Tesla shared the story on its official North America account.
FSD Supervised drives the car while requiring the human driver to stay attentive.
I am honored to be presenting my research at IFT FIRST in 2026. This event is the gold standard for peer-reviewed science and technical discovery in the food system.
If you value data-driven insights and scientific rigor, I hope to see you!

Fraud prevention matters. But hospice payment suspensions can also strain legitimate providers who must still fund payroll, patient care, and operations during lengthy audits. Strong compliance + strong operations both matter. https://t.co/UqC3poeSDK
Wrinkles have disappeared not just from celebrity faces but from many of my 40-something friends. What would happen if we all agreed to put down the Botox? https://t.co/jadNIleg0o
I’ve been using Tesla’s self drive tech for over a month now & I’m even more convinced that within ten years driving a car will be like riding a horse, something people just do for fun. It’s transformative on a level I don’t think most understand yet. Absolutely revolutionary.
Every oncologist should watch Ben Sasse’s interview with Ross Douthat. I was captivated by his courage, serenity, and his ability to articulate what so many of our patients feel and experience. Ben and I don’t share the same political or religious beliefs, which made it all the more compelling.
A few things stood out:
* His physicians struggled to deliver the “hard facts.” They led with advances in oncology before telling him he had cancer, wanting to stay positive. I’ve been there - it’s incredibly tough to balance truth with hope. We need to be frank with our patients, even when it’s difficult. I also imagine that the story didn’t play out exactly as Ben recollected, but perception is reality for our patients.
* Ben asked for “Oncology 101”: chemo vs. radiation vs. surgery vs. targeted therapy. He kept saying “teach me” - he needed a map. I love that. Every patient deserves this navigation. Cancer is overwhelming without a clear direction.
* He’s on a drug targeting a cancer gene long considered “undruggable.” We’re making real progress and occasionally witnessing “miracles” in clinic - responses grounded in cancer biology. This progress depends on funding and clinical trials. This is how we move the field forward.
* The flip side is that these treatments carry real toxicity. Ben’s face makes this painfully clear. I am constantly amazed at what many patients are willing to endure and the resilience that they show.
* Ben loves his hospice team. They gave him a practical framework for managing four variables: cancer pain, nausea, balancing diarrhea and constipation, and energy/fatigue. He noted that oncologists often steer conversations to their own agenda (scans, treatment, etc). I’ve been guilty of this too. We need to listen more.
* Despite being given a prognosis of a few months, Ben keeps his great sense of humor. After watching this, I feel we could actually be friends. Political labels might once have gotten in the way - and that’s on me. Confronting death strips away differences and magnifies what we share.
* Ben on the digital culture we live in: “These super-devices in our pockets, the largest tools any individual has ever had, allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live… the places where we break bread, the people we can physically touch and hug.” This is so true.
* Ben doesn’t fear death, but he fears misprioritization. Dinner time is precious. There’s a limit to work trips. Live near family. Cancer forces laser focus on what matters most. When people who are dying share these pearls, all of us need to listen and consider it a gift.
Highly recommended. Wishing you the best, @BenSasse.
