One guy is old and maybe boring.
The other guy is clinically demented and his staff is on drugs.
That’s not counting the other mental illness, being in the pocket of unfriendly governments, the fascism, the racism, the sexism, the disinterest in the job, the sheer incompetence and ignorance, being almost as old, and, oh, allegedly about a hundred felonies.
Hard to choose, huh! /s

Trump’s White House Was ‘Awash in Speed’ — and Xanax
Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit was “like the Wild West,” and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives, sources say.

I'm still learning about health vs body size and this article does a good job addressing the complexities revealed by the popularity of Ozempic and similar drugs.
"By treating obesity as a disease rather than as a moral failing, these drugs and the doctors who champion them do bolster the more righteous aims of fat activists to divorce size from moral judgment. But these drugs also exist for weight loss, and their entire justification is the argument that obesity is a health …

Here’s Who Should Pay for Everyone’s Ozempic
The people responsible for getting us into this situation, of course.

Findings, published Jan. 17 in Cell Stem Cell, show that dopamine neurons infected with SARS-CoV-2 stop working and send out chemical signals that cause inflammation.
Normally, these neurons produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in feelings of pleasure, motivation, memory, sleep and movement.
Damage to these neurons is also connected to Parkinson’s disease.
“This project started out to investigate how various types of cells in different organs respond to …

SARS-CoV-2 infection causes dopaminergic neuron senescence
Yang and colleagues demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 can infect hPSC-derived midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons and induce cellular senescence. Several drug candidates were identified to rescue SARS-CoV-2 infection and DA neuron senescence. Inflammation and cellular senescence were also identified in substantia nigra tissue of COVID-19 patients.

Was feeling lethargic yesterday & really had to drag myself out for a trip to the marshes. So glad I did! Highlights included:
A bittern booming from the reeds
My 1st singing chiffchaff of the year
Numerous signs of otter activity (spraints, fish scales) on the duckboards
An encounter with a northern pike, that swam towards me on a flooded path, pa…

An example of a bouncing dark matter -- EPS-HEP2023
Thermal dark matter, which, after chemical decoupling from the Standard Model thermal plasma rises its yield before it freezes-out, is a new feature of thermal DM scenarios dubbed as "Bouncing Dark Matter". In the following short note, we introduce the topic, exemplifying the mechanism with a simple model that extends the SM with two dark matter particles, a fermion, and a pNGB, plus a second Higgs. We explore the features of the thermal freeze-out of this scenario, with particular emphasis on …

Dark energy and dark matter configurations for wormholes and solitionic hierarchies of nonmetric Ricci flows and $F(R,T,Q,T_{m})$ gravity
We extend the anholonomic frame and connection deformation method, AFCDM, for constructing exact and parametric solutions in general relativity, GR, to geometric flow models and modified gravity theories, MGTs, with nontrivial torsion and nonmetricity fields. Following abstract geometric or variational methods, we can derive corresponding systems of nonmetric gravitational and matter field equations which consist of very sophisticated systems of coupled nonlinear PDEs. Using nonholonomic frames…
