I miss that smile. That laugh. That kid. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2024 #SuicideAwareness
I see today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.
This video always hits me like a metaphorical ton of bricks, despite numerous re-watches. A hugely powerful message. ❤️

You are next!
Texas, today is the day.
James Talarico seems like a nice young man and a moderate. That's the act.
This is a man who said "God is nonbinary." Who said there are six biological sexes. Who called capitalism an oppressive system he wants to dismantle. And who says we should look to Western Europe for inspiration. Take a look at Paris.
His record is just as radical. He voted NO on border security, NO on cutting your property taxes, and NO on stopping cities from defunding the police.
Lie to the voters, then get in power. Don't let it work.
Get out and vote for @KenPaxtonTX.

BREAKING: Virginia has just repealed its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
And codified abortion rights into the state constitution.
On the same night.
This is not a blue wave. This is a tsunami.

I work in aviation so this morning I got to sit around with a bunch of pilots and discuss this horrible situation and I found it so interesting that none of the pilots thought the gender or race of the pilots were a factor at all but a bunch of fucking idiots on here do.

This is the official White House outlet. Posting a clearly racist, demonizing, and dehumanizing picture. All to further stoke hatred and fear towards others.
Stop calling this administration Christian.
Stop calling this administration American.
They are white nationalists.

This is extremely dark
🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.
My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.
Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.
