It's cool that we can conduct these population cohort studies using Swedish register data.

Less than 1% (21 out of 2467) underwent a legal gender reversal following a legal gender change.

"These results highlight that legal gender reversal was an infrequent occurrence in a national sample."

Mamdani always said rent freezing was only part of the solution for more affordable housing. Very interesting to see this as the next step!
Learning that Annemarie Gray (no relation) of Open New York, NYC's YIMBY group, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Mamdani's housing transition team. This is FANTASTIC news!

I really enjoyed the exhibit "When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting" at Liljevalchs in Stockholm. It's organized around six themes: The Everyday, Joy and Revelry, Repose, Sensuality, Spirituality, and Triumph and Emancipation.

Took the boat there – nice way to spend a Sunday!

British Covid inquiry finds many parallels with the Swedish one.

"too little, too late"

"excessive optimism"

"lockdown could have been avoided" by swifter action

February 2020 was "a lost month"

"lockdown a week earlier could have saved thousands of lives"

First new type of malaria drug in 25 years.

"Promising results from a new malaria drug offer hope against emerging drug resistance in Africa. In a clinical trial, ganaplacide–lumefantrine (GanLum) cured 97.4% of participants, outperforming an existing treatment, which cured 94%."
First new type of malaria treatment in decades shows promise against drug resistance
If approved, GanLum could be available within a year and a half, according to maker.

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

"We think it applies to 100% of lupus cases," said Prof William Robinson, a professor of immunology and rheumatology at Stanford University.

Something any survivor of abuse can tell you is that one of the most painful parts of surviving abuse is the isolation that follows. Abusers are seldom abandoned, but victims are.
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Isabella Weber on Mamdani & lessons we can learn:

"This is antifascist economics – not opposing any particular party, but addressing the material conditions that make fascism appealing. It’s a program restoring universal dignity rather than fueling divides and blaming scapegoats for the crisis."
