I assume that most of you who are into #podcasts already listen to #maintenancephase but just in case you managed to somehow miss it:

Fat lady about town (her own description) Aubrey Gordon and journalist Michael Hobbes, two of the most delightful people around, do research deep dives into various topics regarding "health and wellness," most in the form of debunking by...actually looking at science!

Whether it's combating fatphobia, telling us the history of the Presidential Fitness Test and the food pyramid, debunking the 10,000 steps myth, or reading diet books from years gone by, they're equal parts fun and informative.

Mike is self-described methodology queen, so there's tons of examinations of the actual studies people cite all the time, and Aubrey brings an essential personal level of insight into the topics.

If podcasts aren't for you, they have transcripts, too!

We have to be careful not to set off panic in each other but thoughtfully sharing concern, stress, and fear over the state of U.S. politics can be a step toward building the sort of camaraderie we need to fight together for democracy, rule of law, and each other’s protection. I am continuously learning how to listen to others when they are scared and how to express my own frights. Connection with other people, on and off line - that is a big key to staying strong.

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

The most hateful and negative person I have to work with has turned their ire on me again. I'm not going to stand by and just take things anymore and let myself fall into a depression.

I'm going to be spread kindness and softness to others as much as I can.
