In cultures of politeness, dissent is a threat to social harmony. People nod and smile even if they disagree, and silence fuels groupthink.

In cultures of integrity, dissent is a sign of commitment to quality. People voice their views, and respectful debate improves decisions.

Thank you, Washington Commanders for the Darrell Green swag at the draft.

#RaiseHail 😤 #2️⃣8️⃣ #NFLDraft

When I asked Dan Quinn re: the importance of nailing the No. 2 pick, he showed me this mural of Darrell Green outside of his office.

His QB non-negotiables: Be able to play off-schedule. Create. Be poised. But above all else: “We want REAL competitors here.”  #RaiseHail

I’m so thrilled and excited to welcome Jayden Daniels to the Commanders family! I’m looking forward to all the wins we will celebrate this season and years to come with you as our leader. I know you’ll lead our franchise not only as our quarterback, but also in the locker room…

No curveball from the Commanders. They took the QB they should've taken: Jayden Daniels. Now I have to deal with him twice a year every year. Now the Cowboys' arch rival has a real QB.

Washington finaly has our Big three

-Jayden Daniels
-Not Ron Rivera
-Not Dan Snyder

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being.

New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied.

Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

Pretty thorough examination of telemedicine’s impact.

TL;DR seems to be:

- Small ↗️ in overall encounter volume
- Small ↘️ in ER visits
- Modest boost in med adherence
- Small ↗️ in total cost of care healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl…

Another important finding:

Duals enrolled in integrated care models were *much less likely* to dis-enroll from Medicaid.

Integrated models included PACE, MMPs and FIDEs.

Burnout is not a badge of honor. 'I'm so stressed!' doesn't signal status.

When people brag about being overwhelmed, they're seen as less capable and caring. They get less help—and drain their colleagues.

The appropriate response to stress isn't to boast. It's to seek support.
