How embarrassing and cringe. Maxine Dexter with a group of Dem doctors trying to advocate for Dem policies – and no one pays attention to them.

AI can detect hidden lung tumor better than doctors. This is not new, and is just one study where a model trained on a dataset beat a test group of doctors. It doesn't mean that it would beat doctors reading CT scans and chest X-rays in other hospitals or clinics. AI isn't that versatile yet. It's only a start.

Increased sedentary behavior is associated with neurodegeneration and worse cognition in older adults over a 7-year period despite high levels of physical activity. Sounds dire, right? The subjects for this test were those in the legacy and expansion cohorts of the Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project (VMAP), and although some of these over 50 subjects had no evidence of baseline cognitive impairment, others were allowed into the study with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). So already we're talking about those more at risk of dementia. It doesn't inquire as to what kind of activities the sedentary cohort were occupied with. Was it just resting and watching TV, or were they reading books, solving problems or engaged in high cognitive skill activities? Remember, this study showed that exercise wasn't enough to prevent dementia. That's why I'm skeptical.

What a nightmare. Many homes that weren't burned to the ground in the Palisades and Eaton fires are now full of toxic levels of lead, copper, arsenic and beryllium. And what about the fire retardant chemicals?

IBM laid off 8000 employees because of AI automation, but hired them back in other positions, because they needed human creativity there. Good news, I suppose, if this isn't just an isolated phenomenon. Will other companies also recognize the need for human creativity? I wouldn't have considered IBM to be a company that needed creativity, to be honest.
Microsoft is laying off more people. Doesn't any division there need some imagination? 😂
Oh crap. Disney is planning on rebooting the entire Indiana Jones franchise. No doubt to update it with more minority, gay, transgender or girlboss characters. Maybe have Rachel Zegler as Indy's love interest. Leave it alone, Disney. Please.

The NYT doesn't like that Vinay Prasad recommended against the COVID mRNA vax product. Naturally they quote some pro-vax "experts" who decry this decision. Vinay has guts to do this. I'm glad that someone is finally demanding that we put a stop to the now ineffective and completely unnecessary and potentially deadly jabs. Go Vinay!

A new interstellar object has been identified zipping through the solar system. It's moving too fast to be studied. Could be a comet. Hope it's not an alien – we're not ready.

What?! Nightmares Linked to Faster Ageing and Premature Mortality. I thought it was just lactose intolerance from cheese. But faster aging? Maybe people have to ask for some prazosin after all.

FaceTime in iOS 26 will freeze your call if someone starts undressing. I wonder at what point does it kick in. It's all to protect children, they say. Yeah, but....
