@tom_mallory Authoritarian control? Remind me again, who was pushing: ~Lockdowns ~Fear marketing campaign ~Forced inoculation ~Ban from public life despite said inoculation not being tested to stop transmission ~Closed borders ~Withheld medical treatment That’s right. It was The Science™

@DrBrittaniJ Did you vote for Obama in 2008? You can thank him and the HiTech act that forced all hospitals to purchase EHRs that have centralized control away from clinicians.

I think the average person would be shocked to know how much power physicians DON’T have over how we practice medicine. Every physician I know absolutely despises 15-minute visits.

@StarTribune Crazy that the only successful modern local newspaper is simply a PR firm for oligarchs.

@libbyemmons Wow! Who coulda guessed the SholomCast staff would come to Erica Kirk’s defense…? Jokes aside, I love how the defense against this is “racism” and not an actual addressing of the issue: that Erica Kirk is clearly a fraud and an op + her mother is/was intelligence.

The black comedian who put on white face to mock Erika Kirk probably thinks he's "punching up," but there's no honor in cruelly mocking a widow.

@ELSHLCLHMV @histories_arch And who are you to criticize me? Are you my close acquaintance?

@GoodDataMatters @histories_arch You were close acquaintances then?

In 1979, Madison; Wisconsin, a woman sits in a basement office, writing code line by line on a computer most hospitals don't even know they need yet. Her name is Judy Faulkner. She's started with $6,000 to $7,000 of her own money, plus contributions from friends and family totaling around $70,000. No venture capital. No Silicon Valley connections. Just a conviction that the American healthcare system is killing people because doctors can't access the information they desperately need. She had watched it happen. Medical records stayed trapped in filing cabinets and incompatible systems when patients moved between cities and providers. Doctors made critical decisions in the dark, lacking the patient histories they needed. People died from preventable mistakes. That systemic failure became her mission. Faulkner began building software that would let patient information follow the patient, no matter where they went. It was a radical idea in an era when most hospitals still relied on paper charts and metal drawers. Decades later, she controls Epic Systems, the most powerful health technology company in America. Her software manages medical records for over 300 million patients worldwide. Roughly half of all U.S. hospital beds run on systems she created. Her wealth sits between $7 and $8 billion. And almost no one knows her name. She never took Epic public. Never accepted venture capital. Never sold out. She believed Wall Street would force her to chase quarterly profits instead of patient outcomes. So she kept control, kept her wealth locked in private shares, and kept building. Now in her eighties, she's methodically dismantling that fortune. In 2015, she signed the Giving Pledge. Then went further, committing to give away 99 percent of her wealth. She and her husband created the Roots & Wings Foundation, named after advice she once gave her children when they asked what they needed most from her. "You need roots and wings," she told them. Values to anchor you. Freedom to grow. Everything else is noise. Today, that foundation distributes tens of millions annually, aiming for $100 million a year. Food security. Healthcare access. Education. Housing. She's not waiting until she's gone to make an impact. She's converting ownership into action right now, while she's still here to see it work. In an age of billionaire spectacle, Judy Faulkner built an empire in silence, accumulated unimaginable wealth without chasing it, and is now giving it all away with the same quiet determination she used to write that first line of code in a Wisconsin basement. Faulkner still runs Epic Systems from its headquarters in Verona, Wisconsin, where the campus has become legendary for its design. Buildings are themed after famous works of literature and fantasy, with conference rooms modeled after Hogwarts, Alice in Wonderland, and Star Trek. Employees traverse tunnels decorated like subway stations and walk through spaces that feel more like theme parks than corporate offices. It's Faulkner's way of making grueling work feel a little more human. Unlike most tech billionaires, she lives modestly and avoids the spotlight. She doesn't own yachts, doesn't collect estates, and rarely seeks media attention. Her focus remains on Epic's mission: building software that saves lives by making sure critical information is always available when it matters most. Faulkner majored in mathematics and computer science at a time when women made up less than 10 percent of the field. Before founding Epic, she taught herself programming languages and worked on developing systems for hospitals while teaching at the University of Wisconsin. Another fascinating detail: Epic remains one of the largest privately held software companies in the world, with thousands of employees and zero outside investors. Faulkner retains control by design, ensuring the company answers to patients, not shareholders. #archaeohistories

@robbystarbuck This but oncology

Always get a 2nd dental opinion. Years ago one told us that one of our kids had multiple cavities that needed fillings ASAP. I told my wife to leave for a second opinion. Next dentist said there were absolutely ZERO cavities. Some of the dentists out there are total scammers.

@GrantSlatton This but with cancer…

insane that we tolerate living in a society where you can go see one dentist and he's like "ya u have 13 cavities, will be $4000 to fix them all" then see another and he's like "that guy was full of shit and trying to scam you, you're fine" ???

@PeterMallouk This section 8 data?

Rents dropping across the country…

@JohnInMSP @WalterHudson He’s right that it’s a productivity tool. He’s wrong that it can be Godly.

@WalterHudson Walter Hudson hit the nail on the head. AI is just another productivity tool. It will allow one person to do the job of many. This has happened so many times in history: the locomotive, the computer, mining machines that displaced 150 minors, gas powered lawnmower….

I appreciate the concern expressed here, particularly its root in moral claims. But I disagree. AI is a modal shift, not a moral one. Instead is bringing Marcus Arielius back to life through the artistry of Richard Harris, you can bring him back with AI. It's a tool, like a brush, a chisel, a costume, or a prop - none of which have a soul. But it's wielded by an artist who does. It's not like you can just enter a prompt and get a picture perfect performance. There's still a human element. Go watch any given Star Wars AI generated video on YouTube. They come from a mind, not a computer. The computer is just the tool the mind used to actualize its intent - again, like any other implement. The current conversation around AI feels like arguing over whether a pully and lever system mocks the strength of God. Yes. Technology which makes the job easier, or makes the previously impossible possible, comes with the temptation to think of ourselves as transcendent. But that's nothing new. We each objectively have a better quality of life than Pharaoh. Yet he thought wielding chariots made him a god. The challenge remains the same it has always been, to recognize that any genius we conjure pales in comparison to the Almighty, and that nothing we create will ever lift the curse. If anything, AI presents a fresh opportunity to highlight how inadequate our genius remains.

@JoshuaB64328123 @em_Lazzy Found the jew bot trying to sell the goyim that the latest “update” is revolutionary innovation

@em_Lazzy You used to have to buy it, then it would become obsolete in a few years. This way you get up to date and pay a smaller use fee.

You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything. Everything is a subscription service, like literally everything. You can't buy Microsoft Office, you have to purchase a subscription for a year. You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?

@PatAdams96 A threat, legally, requires the threatener to have the means and ability to fulfill said threat against the threatened

Some basic facts: Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the United States. No country or leader pressures President Trump to do anything. The President makes decisions based on what serves U.S. interests. Killing terrorists who threaten our country is a good thing.

@derekahunter So it’s the DNI’s responsibility to bomb the Middle East despite them not aggressing against our homeland for over 20 years…?

If you can't do a job because of personal tragedy, you shouldn't take that job in the first place. Tragedy & sacrifice are not get-out-of-responsibility cards. That his wife was killed by ISIS is not relevant to his ability to do the job. If it is, he should've been out long ago.

@wcdispatch @FREEDOMmob1 @ashlicat98 @Amandasmylife Then stop advocating for the dropping of bombs in a war of aggression. “Thou shalt not kill”

@FREEDOMmob1 @ashlicat98 @Amandasmylife I converted 3 years ago, went through the entire RCIA, and was confirmed in front of my parish. Wasn’t born into it, chose it.

The more people resign from the Trump administration over the bombing of Iran, people like Joe Kent, the more bombs I think we should drop on Iran. Keep dropping them until all of these people resign.

@IsabellaMDeLuca Wait? Americans can’t talk to other world leaders during peacetime military operations…?

If all this stuff about Tucker talking to the IRC happens to be true, he’s going to need a Jewish lawyer to defend him. The jokes write themselves.

@FloppingAces How man successful attacks on the USA homeland? Genuine question

Holy shit, the "counterterrorism czar" who begged Trump for the job lasts barely 7 months before pulling the ultimate bitch move and quitting because Daddy finally punched back at the regime that's been bathing in American blood for your entire adult life. You were born in 1980...old enough to remember the IRGC's Hezbollah proxies blowing 241 Marines to pieces in Beirut '83, the Khobar Towers massacre in '96, the EFP slaughter in Iraq that murdered 600+ of your fellow troops while you were supposedly "fighting terrorism" as a Green Beret. But nah, suddenly Iran's "no imminent threat"? The same Iran that's: - The undisputed #1 state sponsor of terrorism since '84 - Bankrolled Hezbollah's 1983 barracks bombing (241 dead Americans) - Orchestrated Khobar Towers (19 more U.S. airmen vaporized) - Supplied the EFPs that turned our guys into hamburger in Iraq - Funneled cash/weapons/training to Hamas for the Oct 7 rape-torture-murder orgy - Armed Houthis to turn the Red Sea into their personal jihad playground - Directed 170+ drone/rocket attacks on U.S. bases in 2023-2024 alone - Plotted straight-up assassinations of Americans on U.S. soil...including recent hits on critics and even Trump officials You ran NCTC, the place literally built to track this exact shit, and now you're crying "no threat" the second Trump drops bombs on the ayatollahs? Because "Israel lobby pressure"? Spare us the virtue-signaling martyr act, you spineless, leaking, AIPAC-obsessed turncoat. You went from Special Forces tough guy to Tucker's favorite talking head to instant anti-war soyboy the moment the boss stopped tolerating your tired talking points and started winning. Your "principles" only surfaced when Tucker’s old talking points clashed with actual victory. Enjoy your MSNBC pity party, your BlueSky therapy sessions, and whatever grift Tucker throws your way next. History's gonna remember you as the biggest fraud to ever hold that chair...a supposed counterterror expert who couldn't spot the world's biggest terror sponsor until it inconvenienced your feelings. Pathetic. Coward. Traitor to the mission. Get fucked. Door's wide open...don't trip over your balls on the way out.

@PressSec What were the “many sources and factors?” Let’s see the list. Let us judge if we would’ve made the same decision. Until then, you’re a dogshit PR agent

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.
