Love this outfit on Daniel Day-Lewis. DDL has a reputation for being a real clothes nerd, having studied bespoke shoemaking under Stefano Bemer, knowing his way around Savile Row, and getting guernseys from little-known makers. He wears his own clothes to photoshoots.

The projected rise in global cancer deaths
1990 —5.9 million
2023—10.4 million

We are ALL in this together.

Percutaneous cholecystostomy drain for acute cholecystitis:

The evidence is VERY weak
