Larry Ellison is the new richest man in the world.
Larry's Oracle Cloud will be hosting TikTok.
Oracle Cloud also hosts Palantir & Open AI.
Three data platforms in one cloud.
Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison, has taken over Paramount.

These people are just so dangerous. Professional voices silenced. Scary.
It was funny, as per, but acetaminophen is not US, both it and paracetamol acceptable terms here. Based on the chemical composition. We would normally call it an acetaminophen assay in labs.
I thought this platform was for polite people 😂
Extreme democracy equals mob rule unfortunately. I'm generally against it.
I am sorry you are too challenged to see that.
I think you're part of the problem you're fighting against. Simple messages are winning, not cleverly constructed nuanced arguments. The people I think you're generally against are like pigeons playing chess. You can't win even on a basic point if what you stand for looks ridiculous to the majority.
Another losing trait. Being a clever clogs.
Its too late for the so called left (like how is clean air a left right issue). They should have realised that all the wackyness, the men playing on female sport teams, the "refugees welcome here" sentiment, was going to send people into the arms of Farage. Game is up.
It's a sad thing to see the Professional Record Standards Body essentially being shut down by NHS England.

However the PRSB just clearly never seemed to get the memo that they needed to output their standards in a technically usable form (eg openEHR/FHIR)
Nobody else will talk to us 😀
If you enjoyed that discussion with @adebyrne.bsky.social then you'll probably also love the "'Make Medicine Fun Again' with Joe McDonald - HIMSS 2025 and Ambient AI Assistants" chat I had just a few days before, with @comparesoftware.bsky.social

I've started a new YouTube channel for Everything Digital Health! It's early days but we recorded today on the sudden announcement of the abolition of NHS England. With @adebyrne.bsky.social

The new government sees health as one of its key missions and will present a 10-year plan for the NHS in the first half of 2025. It has set out three big shifts that it wants to see: from hospital to community-based care; from analogue to digital; and from treating ill health to its prevention. These transformations are essential to the NHS’s recovery and future sustainability but saying them is not the same as achieving them. We are concerned about the lack of fresh thinking and decisive action we heard from DHSC and NHSE. The scale of government’s ambitions is great, but senior officials do not seem to have ideas, or the drive, to match the level of change required, despite this being precisely the moment where such thinking is vital.
Absoultely damning Public Accounts Committee report on DHSC and NHS England.

Staggeringly, NHSE have responded by denial, distraction, and refusal to listen.

Bruce Fischer, husband of Republican Senator Deb Fischer, refuses to shake the hand of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Imagine how insecure and pathetic you have to be to fail even most basic standards of courtesy.

First up here is Larry Weed's 1971 Grand Round about "Medical Records that Guide and Teach" - this was from a paper era but the problem described still exists in a digital era, in fact some of it is worse.

Next is Jerry Harvey's 1982 talk about the Abilene Paradox - the way organisations (couples, businesses, governments) often end up taking a course of action which is opposed to their interests.

I was lucky enough to meet Dave Bronkart at the @openehr.bsky.social conference this year, here is his original TED Talk on the exciting era of e-Patients and patient empowerment.

We have to make it easier for patients to become full partners in their own care.
Carter on Iraq:
"We did not need to go into Iraq, and we were led into Iraq under false pretenses. We have destabilized the region and alienated much of the world."
When I was a PhD student, I wrote to President Carter asking of his relationship with Thatcher. It was a long shot & never in a million years did I believe he’d respond. He will forever be my favourite historical source & a President that I can’t not admire. I’ve read everything he’s ever said #RIP
And why the moving care from hospital to community strategy is a complete red herring and lame duck.
My Plymouth Argyle are in the mire at the moment and made some bad choices. But it takes something special to be as rich as Stoke and be this badly run.
The hand wringing nonsense that goes on here is the reason I mainly still use Twitter and have even started to call it X
Some say i go too far decorating the tree but I think it's worth it and not too gaudy like some I've seen
There's BS in this and banking apps aren't the problem. My point is there are apps on your phone that can spend money without you having to unlock them
Telegraph and Times both lining up behind Farage?

Anyone else been having a look at what you can see/do in the Uber app [and some others] if your phone is unlocked [and stolen]. Quite shocking really. I'm not suggesting it's what happened here but it caused me to look.
