In Japanese, one word used for "ugly" is "busu" (「ブス」). (It really should go without saying that this is an offensive word, and not to be casually slung around other people!) How this word came to be is a rather fascinating look in the history of a notorious plant poison.

Japanese monkshood (commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Aco…) is a plant with showy flowers and a very toxic alkaloid. The poison in monkshood is potent enough that the Ainu used it to tip their arrows for hunting bears and other game. Dried monkshood root is called "busu" (「附子」); in a diluted form, it was often used for its anesthetic, numbing qualities.

peertube.world/w/j7Jay9jJJe27A…
Duration - 5:49

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

BotB recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban #medical missions. One is focused on #Cuban #doctors deployed to #Calabria, #Italy, and another follows a brigade of #African students from #ELAM (Cuba's #LatinAmerican School of #Medicine), who traveled to #GuineaBissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island.

Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."

One infusion. One time. Possibly forever. A breakthrough gene-editing treatment just slashed LDL "bad" cholesterol by up to 62% — and the results are holding 18 months later. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the small study of 35 patients could reshape how we fight heart disease, which kills 800,000 Americans annually. No daily pills. No repeat treatments. Just one shot. Experts call it potentially "game-changing." Larger trials are next — but the early signs are extraordinary. The future of heart health may have just arrived. #HeartDisease #GeneTherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #Cholesterol #Health #Science #Medicine #NEJM #Innovation #Healthcare nytimes.com/2026/05/25/health/…

As a doctor, I was a little embarrassed to be using ChatGPT. But every interaction with, say, OpenEvidence, a professional medical A.I. tool, felt cold and sterile. It referred to me as if I were a case report, not a person with preferences and habits. I realized what was winning me over about ChatGPT...unwavering messages of empathy and encouragement..."

How conspiracies are cultivated

It is bad enough with a minority of people subscribing to conspiracies from vaccine health to 5G telephone signals, but if the FDA are refusing to release the results of their studies then they will grow. Any reasonable person will be asking why? Two extreme views might be posited
- they are dangerous and we are not being told
- this is a deliberate attempt to create the conspiracies

When invisible labor is chronically unrecognized, is it any wonder the techbros of AI have failed to account for nuance?

Ask any woman in #tech / #science / #medicine.

"These developments also suggest that the economics of replacing or augmenting human labor with AI may be more complicated than some early forecasts originally implied."

Microsoft reports are exposing AI’s real cost problem: Using the tech is more expensive than paying human employees

"First vaccines, now mammograms? RFK Jr.’s latest firings have doctors outraged."

I wonder if RFK Jr. is secretly pushing beyond "paleo diet" towards "paleo life" where humans don't live past forty. Firing members of the US Preventive Services Task Force is a step in that direction.
