Feelies in Amherst! (as an aside, it's great to see newer spots fill the gap of the nearly-dead Northampton venues) thedrakeamherst.org/events/t…

Weird and interesting.
Consider the brain: a theater recreating a highly edited world based on the ~41 bits per second Shannon Limit of human bandwidth of consciousness. Once the bandwidth is saturated “reality” distorts. Observe the specimen below. Your observations?

Starlight: 4 songs by The Young Old, which is 3 people, one of whom happens to be me! We recorded these at @crackleandpop in mid-January. Find the Marston reference, if you dare. open.spotify.com/album/3ncyS…

Be still my beating heart..@aoc asks Zuckerberg the question. I & others (notably @jason_kint) have been asking for a loooong time. When exactly did he first learn about Cambridge Analytica? Tell me, does this sound like a convincing answer to you?

Plus the following, approved by the ACA, would vanish: (1) FDA authority to approve drugs called biosimilars--which thousands of patients are now on; (2) the sunshine database of drug/device co payments to doctors; (3) Medicare/Medicaid Innovation Ctr (h/t @sam_baker)
If upheld, the ruling by a Texas judge would throw out the ACA's pre-existing condition protections. It would also throw out the Medicaid expansion, premium subsidies, and coverage up to age 26. These measures have lowered the number of people uninsured by 20 million.

#Innovation director @azsmith challenged our leaders today: “Using play to look at our vision forces us to work creatively, think outside of the box, and collaborate with each other, creating a culture of learning and innovation.”

GitHub's annual revenue was reportedly $300m. If correct then GitHub’s annual revenue is the same as Fortnite’s *monthly* revenue. 🤔

Funny you made this connection as we had an internal #innovation event @premera on the craft brew industry a few weeks back w/ @GeorgetownBeer’s Roger Bialous. We found incredible similarities, lessons learned from the local #Seattle industry to our work in #healthcare innovation x.com/chasedave/status/10010…

Craft brewers are marker of community on the rise (per @JamesFallows/ @FallowsDeb in Our Towns). Craft brewers' radical openness/collaboration is also an inspiration for doctors & the broader healthcare system. Like the Fallows' book, most are missing this facet of hc reinvention
