this article is so unserious it feels satirical

whole-body MRI scans for worried well are horrifically low-value

they find incidentalomas, leading to downstream costs & iatrogenic harm

not sure what it's doing in a newspaper (if that's what we're calling the WaPo)

Who could've thunk ?

Open access, BTW.
Abstract Close-proximity interactions are considered a key risk factor for respiratory virus transmission, but their importance relative to shared space and air quality remains unclear. We conducted a six-week longitudinal study in a Swiss secondary school (67 students, aged 14-15). We detected 87 infections in saliva samples and recorded absences to identify plausible transmissions, excluding implausible ones through genomic analysis. Time in close proximity (within 1.5 metres) was measured using wearable sensors and air quality via COz monitors. Students spent 21.2 minutes per day in close proximity (interquartile range 7.8-44.2) and 5.3 hours in shared classrooms (IQR 3.8-6.2), during which air quality was suboptimal for 1.9 hours (IQR 1.2-3.0). Using pairwise survival models, we found that transmission was more likely within than between classes. Close proximity was modestly associated with higher transmission risk overall (rate ratio 1.16 per doubling daily time, 95%-CI 1.01-1.33), while time in shared classrooms (RR 3.17, 95%-CI 1.96-5.17)and suboptimal air quality (RR 1.90 95%-CI 1.23-2.94) also predicted within-class risk. Prolonged exposure in shared, poorly ventilated spaces, which potentially includes several infectious sources, drives respiratory virus transmission more than close contact.

No reason for this to be happening in 2025. In my view, those who have helped promote vaccine hesitancy shoulder part of the blame. Measles is not safe for mothers or their babies. The vaccine is safe and it works. Fact.

I’ve had a theory that “authenticity” will be the most valued construct for the current generation growing up.

As artificially-generated content explodes, verifiable human creations will become increasingly treasured.

Well gang, it's happened: OpenAI has built a platform filled exclusively with fake, AI content.

I've been playing with it for a few days, and I think it's safe to say we're basically kissing reality goodbye.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.
