@awaisaftab.bsky.social hi Awais, I’m sure you posted a study ages ago that described the effect of antidepressants on the specific symptoms/signs in depression. I can’t seem to locate it again. Can you direct me to it? Thankyou!

I want to congratulate Elon Musk on his remarkable achievement. He's now surpassed Trump as the worst president in American history.

Every week, I see a new study talking about this or that effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists like #ozempic. FINALLY, we have a study evaluating all the outcomes (good and bad) in one dataset. There are some... surprises. 🧵

I saw someone say Granny Weatherwax, but I have not read so I can’t be sure.
The only other woman I saw was Princess Leia and I’m sorry but that woman would be a dark emperor in a heartbeat & the galaxy would be well-run.

I think I could stay in the hotel from 'Lost in Translation' without having an existential crisis or being overcome by ennui. I'd probably just enjoy the amazing views of Tokyo and the cocktails and be normal about it.

"Where will the money come from?" - Kate Andrews keeps asking, in order to press her attack on the NHS funding model.
Well, where will the money come from under ANY other model? Does adding a profit-making insurance layer make healthcare cheaper? No. It just makes it less fair. ~AA
