People who stop taking GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy for weight loss are projected to regain their shed pounds within about 1½ years, a review of existing research has found.
Former GLP-1 users regain lost weight after about 18 months, study says
Those quitting Ozempic, Wegovy and other drugs regained weight four times faster than those using just diet and exercise, still key components in weight maintenance.

A California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) lit against dark foliage at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I leaned into the contrast to let the color and shape speak quietly on their own.

Photography is about perspective — and I’m glad you’re here.

A single California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) glows in warm orange light against dark, finely textured foliage at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The flower is sharply focused while the surrounding greenery falls into deep shadow, emphasizing contrast and form.

Medieval landlords regularly collected eels as rent. But they didn't always eat them. Sometimes they bought things w/ their eels.

In the early 1200s the Ramsey monks rented a local causeway at the yearly rate of 1 pair of scarlet pants, 2 pounds of pepper & ginger, & 1,000 eels.

Meme. Picture of a rich-looking bastard sitting on the hood of a Rolls-Royce. His hand is leaning on an umbrella, and his blue and brown scarf is tossed just so. His tie is striped and slightly loose at the neck, and the points on his shirt collar are unnecessarily elegant. He is wearing red pants (except he's likely British, so they're trousers (though he might be also wearing read pants (underwear, to my US peeps) but we can't see)). Behind him is a fancy building with arched windows and columns. It looks like it's raising its eyebrows at you in surprise. The man is looking with stern contemplation into the middle distance behind your left shoulder. He's essentially ignoring you. You're right there in front of him, but you don't matter. His whole demeanor and expression embody your unimportance. He seems like his name should be something like Alistar Hamish Weathersworth III, and he looks imminently punchable. Meme text reads: "The pants are a bit much If you don't have the eels"

When will this crisis get any attention whatsoever!? A THOUSAND ACADEMIC STAFF AT ONE INSTITUTION SERVED REDUNDANCY RISK NOTICES! And that's not counting what's surely being visited on professional services staff too. This is an economic catastrophe, to say nothing of the intellectual catastrophe!

Great take. We looked at the data a few weeks ago and concluded that other than starting early, this year's dynamics are comparable to previous bad seasons. Our scenario models suggest a peak in infections (not hospitalisations which lag 1/2 weeks) in early/mid December.

✨Inside the medieval roof timbers at Beverley Minster, Yorkshire, one of the rafters has been dated (c. 921) and was a sapling during the reign of King Æthelstan, before England was an entity.
Touch it and you feel a kind of altitude and sense that the past is cheek by jowl.
