HMM: More bystanders using naloxone to save people from overdose.
When Helen and I had our advanced life support training (basically CPR, bleed control, and more) we were warned that people often come out of this not grateful for being saved, but violent and absolutely furious for having their high interrupted. So be careful out there.
SEEMS LIKE THERE’S NOTHING BUT GOOD NEWS COMING OUT ABOUT THESE NEW DRUGS: Ozempic, new intestinal therapy may eliminate need for insulin in Type 2 diabetics.
I mean, I don’t know, but the steady stream of positive stories seems a bit . . . orchestrated? Maybe not.
IS THERE ANYTHING THEY CAN’T DO? Study: GLP-1 weight-loss drugs might lower, not increase, teen suicide risk.
WHERE WE ARE:
Since your handle is “Whole Mars”, perhaps this lengthy reply is apropos:
Getting the cost per ton to the surface of Mars low enough that humanity has the resources to make life multiplanetary requires a roughly 1000X improvement in rocket & spacecraft technology.

YEP:
Hamas, for example, justifiably committed unspeakable atrocities on Oct 7 because they were driven mad by decades of settler colonialism. Criminals are flooding into the US from all over the world because America has made the rest of the world unlivable.

THE “CRISIS” WAS DELIBERATELY CONTRIVED BY ITS INTERNAL ENEMIES: Western Culture: Crisis of Confidence? And this rather elderly take now seems a bit . . . optimistic.
HEY, WHY DO YOU THINK JOE BIDEN PICKED HER? Kamala Harris accused of plagiarizing parts of 2009 book ‘Smart on Crime.’
GOOD. KEEP IT FALLING. Columbia fundraising falls by nearly 30% following pro-Palestine protests.
WELL, THEY’RE DEMOCRATS, SO: Tim Walz, Doug Emhoff Walk Away Without Paying for Order at Coffee Shop. Hey, it was a photo op, everyone knows those aren’t real.
HMM: RFK Jr. voters shifting to Trump to deliver battleground state wins.
Don’t get cocky.
RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR MALEFICENCE AND INCOMPETENCE IS ITS JOB DESCRIPTION: Media Rushes to Downplay Explosive Evidence of Kamala Harris’ Plagiarism.

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: America’s competence gap reveals a culture of failure — but there’s hope.
UN-READINESS: Running out of SM-3 at Sea? “One of the things that came up in yesterday’s Midrats was the intersection of a couple of bits of OSINT that, if correct on my part, is just another blinking red light warning that we are not equipping ourselves for a serious conflict west of the International Date Line. . . . The use of ballistic missiles by Iran twice this year to attack Israel and their ongoing use by proxies against, well, everyone, is not a ‘surprise.’ This has been known for a long time. Same as China’s ballistic missiles—both land attack and anti-ship—these too are not new, and their numbers are huge. Any military move by the US Navy west of the international date line will face thousands of conventionally armed ballistic missiles in addition to anti-ship cruised missiles, aircraft and submarines. Of all the challenges, the ballistic missiles are the hardest.”
