Pointless exercise. The Authors Guild created a new seal indicating human authorship of a book. What's to stop fraudulent use? Such a waste of energy.

Haven't we heard this before? China makes a discovery of rare earth deposits. We already knew they had much of the world's supply. But the United States also has rare earths, and so does Greenland, which is another reason why it would be nice to have.

Colforsin daropate, a drug used to treat heart failure, is a c-myc inhibitor, and has anti-cancer properties. In murine studies, it killed ovarian cancer cells in the presence of cisplatin, while sparing normal cells. Clinical trials are next, so too soon to get excited.

Everyone is making fun of Portland City Council in the national news:
A $100 million budget deficit will be felt starting July, with reduced police and fire & rescue services. Yes, Portlanders pay higher taxes and get less services. But they're happy that a poll indicated that more people are starting to spend more time in the city. Glimmer of hope, they say. What they don't realize is that the people who had money to spend have long left Portland, to be replaced by the homeless and homeless-adjacent. Not the folks likely to fill the city's coffers.

Bad Democrat solutions beget more bad solutions. It starts with Obamacare. Everyone had to participate. When the dust settled, people opted for plans that had low premiums but high deductibles. This made people delay getting necessary medical care, leading to all sorts of negative consequences. But when people had to have medical care, it was costly, and people ended up with bad credit scores and were financially hampered. So Dems passed a law that removed medical debt from being counted against your credit score, muddying the validity of a useful statistic. And now Dems want to pass a bill that will give people financial assistance for rental housing. Which will come out of taxes, of course. Dems are famous for wanting to bend reality in order to protect people from the consequences of the bad laws they pass.

OHSU wants UnitedHealthcare to reimburse more. UHC says no. And so if there is no negotiated solution, UHC patients will have to get care elsewhere. Sounds like a great argument against OHSU merging with Legacy. If they were merged, Portlanders would have fewer choices: Providence or Kaiser.

FDA approved suzetrigine, a pain killer that doesn't cause addiction. This is like lamotrigine (Lamictal), used to treat seizures. I have no idea how to pronounce Journavx.
