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.

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

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.

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?

TARIFFS 101: Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum don't hit China — they hit us. At A.O. Smith's Ashland City plant, we saw costs spike and prices jump 6-9%, while Tennessee families foot the bill. Workers deserve a trade policy that protects jobs here at home.
