Physicians and healthcare software people: I’m curious, what is the main technical challenge to getting EHR standardized? I’m sure there’s a lot of political ones (eg: solo providers saying “fuck you I don’t want to”). But if a law could be passed mandating it, what’s the main practical bottleneck?

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

Hey, who remembers that time that Arnold Schwarzenegger said that nazis and confederates were losers, and that if you support them, then you are a loser too? And then half of the GOP turned against him and said "Don't call me a loser?"🤡 And so Arnold told them again, louder this time? I remember!

This kind of late-breaking news is why I write Meeting the Moment (buttondown.email/liminalcreat...) on Friday nights. I believe that someday, and in the not terribly distant future, I'll look forward to the end of the week again.

seeing the coffee interview question go from linkedin to threads to bluesky has been really wild to watch. soon it might be something someone in real life talks about

I've been busy all morning so what the fuck is this all about iced coffees

do people know that if a writer gets something wrong in an article you can just send them a polite little message and most of the time they'll correct it and be very grateful

Happy Mooncake Day to those who celebrate!
