Devastating article. Phone call from the wife of the who tried to kill himself to insurer, HIghmark.

"I am very curious under what scenario exactly a person who has tried to kill himself twice w/in the span of a week is denied an inpatient behavioral health treatment when every dr that saw him said he needs to be in a residential treatment program. I am infinitely curious what credentialed individual made that decision that that is not medically necessary."

It's not just thei shared #racism, #fascism, #idiocy & #eugenics. As Laurence O'Donnell explained, no other Kennedy is quite as crass about being a Kennedy (he mentioned his uncle JFK throughout that Congressional WTF) & Trump, who is living in the "glory" days of his youth workships the Kennedy royalty.

"For someone so status-obsessed, collecting a Kennedy is a very big deal."

1. The #NoKings protest in #LosAngeles was glorious.

2. The #NoKings protest was so big it closed off traffic to the town's major intersection.

3. The #NoKings protest had men, women, gay people, non-binary people, old people, young children, people in wheelchairs, dogs, people wearing US flags, people wearing Mexican flags, people wearing California flags, signs in Spanish and English, great music, and someone dressed as Princess Leia.

Amanda Marcotte on MAGA's transformation of bimbo to meanie. Exhibit A: Kristi #Noem.

"In the world of #MAGA stupidity is a badge of honor for both sexes, but the heads of women need to be thoroughly empty. Book learning, in MAGA-land, is for lesbians and cat ladies. Intelligence gets in the way of the true duties of MAGA womanhood: keeping up your highly artificial appearance and, crucially, defending the man you serve with your whole heart and soul."

"Dr. Soon-Shiong, who bought The Times in 2018, said on the podcast that he had been working with a team to create the so-called bias meter using technology he had been building in his health care businesses."

We have all been reading about technology in the health "care" (care in quotation marks b/c it's not care) business. Is this AI? United Health Care's AI approach was wrong 90% of the time.
