This is the first I’m noticing your early morning run times. Way to keep going as the season shifts on us.

Accredo Class Action Investigating refill delays, canceled orders, and surprise bills that endanger patients relying on life-saving meds. Potential class action.

Happy Disability Pride Month! If you are a disabled person who has to deal with Express Scripts or Accredo Specialty Pharmacy, please be aware of a class action lawsuit against them! This is my gift to all of you. May the odds forever be in favor of the people.

Glad to know, as an American, that our boycott of red state products is paying off. No Tito’s Vodka, no Kentucky bourbon, we look at everything. The electeds only care when wallets / stats are hit. #Resist

Want to give a shout out to Sea Wolf in Fremont #Seattle on Stone Way. Fueled up there yesterday after a ~ 5K on the Burke Gilman. Had their tuna brioche and a sweet pastry (whole blueberries) and the sandwich was under $11. Glad we still have spots like this. www.seawolfbakers.com/menu

Oops, #longcovid, not #postcovid
We are not really post-covid we are simply post of the worst of the intense pandemic phase, during which I had at least two infections. It cancelled my immune system, left me with eosinophilic asthma, among other autoimmune disorders, and I had to do vaccine therapy.

My #Fit2Fat2Fit #postcovid journey and body recomposition efforts first meant high cholesterol. I moved to a state with poor fish availability and ate more meat - can’t go vegan b/c of autoimmune disorder rxns & chronic migraine triggers. But more #weightloss and the results are in πŸ₯‡. #Fitsky

Good luck πŸ€. Had an annual check-in with my doc. She says it’s vastly overstated how much breast cancer risk is linked to family history. I had a clean mammogram last year, no family histo of breast cancer, and she wanted me to have more info. The U.S. medical system is so confusing.

Partial list of approved shoes and the two my physical therapist recommends for me for running 
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 and Asics Cumulus 26. The folks at specialty running shops are better than nothing, but having access to a top physical therapist really enhances running and fitness.

Came to learn from PT that the Brooks changes to the glycerin 22 got it kicked off the approved #running shoe list so I’ll be shoe shopping soon enough and might return to an Asics shoe that got fixed after a few years of bad design changes.

#5KADay 415 running yesterday in #Seattle on the Burke Gilman. I managed to fit in 3.26 miles between my special physical therapy check-in and neurology b4 flying straight back out in ~ 24 hrs. ~ 10 min miles pretty great for 2 night’s bad sleep. Cool temp/sun felt intense #Runsky #Runchat

It totally makes sense to learn how visible the pool is, as a woman, we don’t need Epstein in the news to get our spidey sense of β€œthis was a sex pest operation up in here” lit up. I guess it’s good this home is on the market. Less tolerance of trafficking teen β€œwomen”, or drugging folks of any age.

Thank god the advances in #mRNAVaccines that brought us covid vaccines came from advances by the best and brightest veterinary medicine oncologists. Their work was seized on in an emergency for our benefit. It apparently won’t be the last time either apparently.

This is a house that should just go up for auction. I wasn’t surprised to see the pool wasn’t the worst design/taste problem on premises. Another big price reduction is on its way. I’d take a jetted tub or two and that’s about it.

Fraud and misstatements are peak right now. I’ve been in internal control, QA/QC, ethics in finance/regs/accounting type for a long time and I’m really disappointed with the bipartisan grifting from all corners of industry. There’s no accountability.

Most of STEM and Finance/Accounting are very familiar that AI aptitude is a vast overstatement and being hugely overvalued. I do love your point

AI capability is so low. The latest sweatshop- which is over 5 yrs old - is labor doing data entry for β€œAI training”. Data mining in finance, audits and program performance is the best ROI so far. It’s totally failing on patent applications but feds are required to train AI too….at taxpayer expense.
