The NEJM put out a study last week, which makes it appear that the Pfizer mRNA influenza vaccine is really superior to the standard licensed vaccine. The trouble is, it's only superior in those younger than age 64. In the older population, which is those more likely to suffer the consequences of having influenza, it was no better. The NEJM editors should have caught that, but they didn't. And even regular influenza vaccine doesn't always help. Last year's version actually increased your chances of getting the flu.

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce. I always take these studies with a grain of salt because it's really hard to gauge this, and things change constantly.  But it doesn't bode well for people in the short term. Better develop new skills.

Do you want a foldable iPhone? Not really. I'm happy with what I have. The price point is too high. And I just know it's going to break.

So Dennis Wilson is going to reach his goal of spewing 1500 shelter beds around the city.  Big deal. There will still be plenty of drug-abusing homeless on the streets. What a grand waste of money. Not solving the problem, Dennis.
