If you go on a weight loss drug such as a GLP-1 or similar just to shed a few pounds, you will likely become psychologically dependent upon these drugs for life. If you stop and regain the weight, which almost all do, you will find it extremely difficult to lose the weight again without the drugs. You then will be forever dependent on these drugs, something you may not have considered, The folks that “hop on a cycle of Reta” to get lean for the summer are going to be stuck on these drugs for life, or at least the vast majority will. Just watch it play out!





While nearly 18% of U.S. adults have taken a GLP-1 drug for weight loss or to treat a chronic condition, about half of people will stop taking it within a year. Often, they don’t understand what is likely to come next. 🔗: on.wsj.com/4dCkbia



A Japanese manga artist lost his entire Google account forever after he uploaded private files from an old comic he drew to Google Drive. Google’s AI checked the files and flagged them as not allowed. He asked Google to review it again, but they rejected his appeal and banned the account immediately. He can no longer access years of his private drawings and lost access to many websites and services that used his Google login. The artist said this is very embarrassing and causes him a lot of trouble. He warned that it might not happen to people who always follow every rule, but others should be careful. So Google is scanning files that people upload to its cloud storage even if they are supposed to be private. I wonder how long they have been doing this.











On peut le dire clairement maintenant : nous nous dirigeons vers l’un des événements thermiques les plus spectaculaires jamais observés en France tout mois confondus, totalement hors du champ statistique de ce qui a été connu jusqu’à présent en mai. C’est absolument délirant : ➡️Le record national de chaleur pour un mois de mai pourrait être battu, avec plus de 36-37°C attendus en France pendant PLUSIEURS JOURS. ➡️Les 35°C pourraient remonter jusqu’à la moitié nord du pays, tandis que la Bretagne vivrait une situation totalement hors normes (il ne serait pas étonnant d'y approcher les 34°C !!). Nous sommes à +15°C au-dessus des normes sur la façade Atlantique ! ➡️Lundi, mardi et mercredi pourraient devenir, de très loin, les journées les plus chaudes jamais observées en France en mai, avec plus de 30°C sur la quasi-totalité du territoire. ➡️Des records mensuels pourraient tomber plusieurs jours de suite, y compris sur des stations centenaires, tant l’épisode s’annonce intense et durable : jusqu’à 10 jours possibles. ➡️On est vraiment à la limite des seuils de canicules et de vague de chaleur : nous sommes en mai, au printemps !







These numbers are shocking. It's like we got a new frontier AI model but for the body. Lilly's phase 3 results for retatrutide: > highest dose lost 28.3% of body weight in 80 wks > 70 lbs ave > 45% lost 30% or more of their body weight > 65% on the top dose no longer clinically obese Retatrutide is more dynamic than semaglutide and tirzepatide because it targets three receptors (GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon), versus one and two, respectively. Side effects, on the highest dose (12mg), were higher for retatrutide than tirzepatide (nausea and GI), with an 11.3% drop out rate. The lowest 4mg dose still delivered 19% loss with fewer dropouts than placebo.






Increasingly many studies are showing that GLP-1RAs seem to slow down cancer growth!
