Honestly, I am growingly overwhelmed and tired of reporting sad news about bright souls gone too early. DEP Laura. I loved her glowing face in pictures, showing how much she enjoyed the mountains. explorersweb.com/olympic-star-l…

Latest TU Delft TUDAT #reentry forecast for the #Kosmos Descent Craft: 10 May 6:39 +- 1.5 h UTC

I loved this film about Babsi and Jacopo climbing Freerider together. Babsi made the first flash of El Cap!! So impressive. I talked to them on the Valley floor the day before they set out on the wall and I thought the forecast looked bad and that their plan seemed ill conceived - I’m glad that they ignored me and just executed their plan anyhow. So awesome! Great film making by Eric Bissell, it really highlights the beautiful experience they had on the wall. Got me all psyched for Yosemite!! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr7-0S…

Today, we’re celebrating Classic Rock Day as part of National Park Week, and believe us, we don’t take this day for granite! While visiting the park, you can experience all the classics, the oldies but goodies that have been around for about 100 million years!

X-class flare and large scale eruption from the east limb of the Sun occurring now; a significantly wide and bright CME, possibly a partial halo, is expected.

More than 11 years without tire fitting. This is what one of the wheels of the Curiosity rover looks like at the moment.

The key is the contracts CEOs of self insured companies sign. You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE Let’s start with the pharmacy side. I haven’t seen your contracts, but I already know that if you have a contract with a big PBM you: 1. Don’t control your claims data 2. Don’t control your formulary 3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them 4. Get rebates that are paid for by your sickest and oldest employees and result in higher deductibles and co-pays that impact the wellness of your workers and their families. 5. Cause independent pharmacies to be reimbursed for less than their costs for brand drug scripts for your employees and families. Causing them to go out of business 6. Can’t talk to manufacturers to put together wellness programs for things like GLP1s 7. Signed a PBM contract with an NDA which prevents you from publicly discussing your PBM contract , resulting in an opaque, inefficient market, which leads to higher prices and lower quality of care for the entire country All of this allows the big PBMs to continue to distort the pharmacy market for literally EVERYONE I don’t know cars or rockets, but I know how to land healthcare in a net that saves millions of people an un quantifiable amount of money. Without legislation. It starts and ends with educating CEOs like yourself, of self insured companies, to do what is in the best interest of their employees and families. And FYI , google the ERISA lawsuits against JJ and Wells Fargo. They will be ubiquitous class action lawsuits coming for all CEOs next. If DOGE extends its mandate to educating CEOs, about how to Direct Contract with providers and how to work with Pass Through PBMs, then you can change the balance of power in healthcare and change how healthcare in this country works

Amazing footage of a meteor exploding over the active volcano Mount Sakurajima in Japan.

The boot and sock, with its label, aren't just personal artifacts but symbols of ambition and the era's climbing ethos. Discovery like this one on Everest tells a story not just of human endeavor but of the mountain itself. The glacier, acting as both a tomb and a time capsule, might be revealing more secrets as it recedes. This event prompts reflection on what other stories, untold and preserved, might emerge from Earth's highest places as global warming continues.

Check out this @DJIGlobal video of its DJI Mavic 3 Pro ​flying over Mt #Everest (8848.86 m). The drone ascended ~3,500 meters from the base camp to the summit of the highest mountain in the world.
