YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatu…

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

I've always tried to be in the 90th percentile or better in my life. In this case, I really hope I'm not.

My favorite thing is responding to people asking me if I saw something on facebook that I deleted Facebook. (Of course I also then hope I don’t have to answer whether I still have instagram)

A graph shows the cumulative incidence of AUD (%) over time (y) for IBT and Non-IBT groups. The Non-IBT group (orange line) shows a higher incidence compared to the IBT group (blue line). Log-rank test: P=.006.

After bariatric surgery, patients on incretin-based therapies had a 55% lower risk of new-onset alcohol use disorder (AUD) and 41% lower risk of AUD medication initiation, suggesting potential neurobehavioral benefits beyond weight loss. ja.ma/4pSbzcs

It's a great idea on paper, but corporations subsidize employee health insurance as part of the benefits package (to varying degrees) for recruitment/retention purposes. What would be a corporation's incentive do this for non-employee citizens?

This week I have had a journal auto-reject my paper for "detection of AI use" when no AI was used and another submission site refusing to acceptt my uploaded files because every file had a "virus detected". Did I get black listed from scientific writing or something?

The term #estimand is now part of the technical language of trials - but it remains a concept that many find hard to understand. Recent work has aimed to make the term more accessible to researchers, patients & public 1/8

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Since we’re posting more regularly here and it’s a new platform I figured we should introduce ourselves.

This is Gary. He’s an 11-year old domestic longhair cat and together we adventure around western Canada, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.
