@UVaHoopsRiffs It is bizarre that he hasn’t learned in 30 games.

@blloyd8298 It was dumb but I knew it when he did it. It’s like tossing the football to the corner you just beat.

Once again, thank you @JoshCMandel for doing this. Highly recommend all informatics read through this. This problem is worth solving on multiple fronts. The number of repeat studies performed on my watch as a Hospitalist at an AMC is astonishing. Let's get it right this time.

Too many prescriptions still bounce back before they're filled—a frustrating cycle of calls, faxes, and delays for providers, pharmacies, and patients 🏓
At #HIMSS26, DrFirst showcased Rx engagement solutions with proven results that break the cycle.

Sepsis fell victim to Goodhart’s law
Sepsis used to be a clinical diagnosis without rigid criteria … but you knew it when you saw it
But then … it became a “quality measure” … but in order to measure it objectively, it had to be defined.
Objectively
Hospitals and insurers LOVE the new definition of sepsis
1. It pays more for the diagnosis.
2. It makes less sick patients appear more sick
Why is this a plus? If you cure more septic people, your stats look better than average
But of course … at some point it’s mandatory… why? Because if you refuse to play the game, the hospital across town will throw out better stats than you
Why would insurers love it?
Because Medicare gives bonuses to MA plans if they are responsible for sicker patients.

@DNeckel19 I'm with you. I like PTA and I did not like this film.

I might have to rewatch “One Battle After Another.”
I must have missed something.
#Oscars

One Battle After Another (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) deserves to win the #Oscar for Best Picture. On the eve of the 98th Academy Awards, I wanted to revisit the best film of 2025. And upon my latest rewatch, I’ve never felt more confident in stating that not only is this the best film of ‘25 & not only does this deserve Best Picture, it’s one of the best films of the decade & one of the best films of the century. There are many storylines going into this Sunday’s Oscars. But in my opinion, there is no storyline bigger than Paul Thomas Anderson. Sunday deserves to be his night- his moment. This isn’t a lifetime achievement award: it’s PTA literally earning recognition that he deserves.
Robert Duvall’s passing- along with the likes of Robert Redford & Gene Hackman and so many others- has forced me to question my faith in the future of cinema. I’ve spent a lot of moments thinking about whether the best of filmmaking & movies is behind us. And it’s not just all the massive figures in cinema that we’re losing & who can never, ever be replaced, it’s also the obvious forces of nature like AI & increasing competition that’s made me skeptical about whether movies can still impact me the way they have up to this point. Enter One Battle After Another.
I really mean it when I say that this film was so good & so exceptional, it helped restore my faith in the future of cinema. Rewatching this movie, there are so many things I could gush about: the performances from a cast that couldn’t be better, including Leo, Del Toro, Taylor, and Penn. A story that feels impossibly relevant & incredibly engaging. A score that I found to be breathtaking. A script that I don’t think could be better. All of those things could be the focus of this review. But the only thing on my mind right now is Paul Thomas Anderson’s filmmaking.
The moment Bob Ferguson is sitting on his couch, smoking a Lebowski-esque joint in his robe only to receive a call from the French 75 activating him back to duty, is just one slice of filmmaking from this movie that I’ll never forget. The way PTA brings us into Ferguson’s paranoia. It is both hilarious yet totally immersive. For a few moments, you feel like you’re sitting on Bob’s couch. You feel a rush of blood go through you as if you are the one receiving the phone call. The slow camera pan around Ferguson to show us how utterly helpless he really is…only to pan to the front door, which is blown down by none other than Colonel Lockjaw. This entire sequence- this entire transition- is as good of filmmaking as I can remember. I say this as someone who devotes almost all of his free time to watching films. I say this as someone who cannot get enough of ‘70s filmmaking. However he did it, whatever he did…Paul Thomas Anderson captured that magic.
It’s impossible not to marvel at PTA’s audacity. Not just in this film, but throughout his entire career. Whether it be There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, you name it, PTA’s built a name off taking risks. And the risks he takes throughout One Battle After Another are tremendous. This is including & especially the last third of the film, which involves a vertical car chase that will be remembered as long as cinema is alive. All of the creative decisions PTA makes in this film- the casting of Chase Infiniti, the use of non-actors, the needle-drops, the long tracking shots of Penn, the liberties he took with the actual source material- they’re all creative decisions executed to total perfection. I wouldn’t change a single thing about this movie.
2025 was a great year for film. The list of quality films is long. But at the very top of that list is One Battle After Another.

MOVIES I’VE NEVER SEEN
#12 Joker (2019)
Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro
Is it an incel manifesto, a King of Comedy copy, or a genuinely thought-provoking take on mental health, powered by an electrifying Phoenix performance?
Should I watch it?
Convince me: YES or NO—and why

English

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) starts as a gritty crime thriller and then suddenly pivots into something completely different halfway through. One of those rare films where the entire premise flips in an instant.

No Way Out (1987) builds like a straight political thriller and then drops a final twist that completely flips the entire story in the last seconds. Underrated.
