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.

Influence as a Service (social media, film, and television).
1) Israel buys TikTok.

2) Netanyahu immediately meets with content creators in the U.S.

3) He commissions them to fight against their fellow Americans, in order to secure support for the state of Israel.

It was NEVER about China 🇨🇳 🤬🤬🤬🤬

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)
NHS England to cease funding clinical information standards body
Exclusive: Concerns have been raised that NHSE plans to cease funding the PRSB could stall the digital ambitions in the 10 year health plan.

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.

Carter on Iraq:

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

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

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.
