I'll never figure out why a carefully selected population of students who were generally in the top of their classes everywhere they came from (excluding maybe donor and celeb admits) is nonetheless supposed to fall into a normal curve grading distribution. It's not a random population.

The AHRQ just cancelled all of its grant mechanisms. This is the agency that funds a lot of research on healthcare quality. Congress appropriated them $200+M for this fiscal year. MAHA does NOT care about health. Only healthism. It’s Margaret Thatcher’s fever dream. open.substack.com/pub/adverser...

My latest in @journalgim.bsky.social: Medicaid Coverage Restrictions & On-Label Buprenorphine Rx’ing for Chronic Pain. Current restrictive policies are associated with lower historical uptake of buprenorphine products that are FDA-approved for chronic pain, a safer alternative to traditional opioids

I understand that short form videos are what “works” in our new attention economy… how well do mid-length explanatory/criticism videos perform on youtube? I just don’t love the amount of nuance lost in 1-3 min reels/tik tok videos.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Buprenorphine is safer than most if not any opioid we prescribe but people still act like dosing it is some esoteric practice. There’s no shortage of resources we can use to figure how to dose a medication for the first time. We should use them when prescribing a new medication.

My friend Naftali Kaminski is an Israeli physician, a professor at Yale, and the child of Holocaust survivors. For me he is a model of absorbing his parents' stories intensely, looking the horror of the 20th century in the eyes, and drawing the lesson of radical empathy for the suffering of others.

He uses this framing a lot. His boss clearly loves it. It also works for him because, in his own way, he is the minoritized Other in that little power cabal — he isn’t really one of them. He does this to show *his* gratitude which I suspect they demand frequently. But also such a smarmy so and so.

An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. It’s about dehumanization and debasement. It’s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.
