Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

Bethan's Rock is a small grey stone on display at Poole Museum in Poole, England. It was donated to the museum in 2019 by a five-year-old girl named Bethan, and it has since attracted significant attention on social media and become the museum's most famous object. - Wikipedia

I had strong priors against LLMs for medicine. There are a lot of doctors in my family and I grew up viewing doctors as careful, skilled professionals. I had plenty of bad medical experiences, but I thought it would be hard to do better. Then an LLM found a cure for my 2 decade chronic condition...

FWIW. Just a little fun time working with Gemini. A search for F.E.A.R. I am assured three times explicitly. That there is NO SUCH REFERENCE. It does not exist. Presumably because most people are looking for a different answer. Until *I* explicitly tell the LLM it is wrong.

Most people know Kenya for wildlife. Far fewer know it already operates one of the cleanest electricity systems on Earth. Around 91% of electricity now comes from renewable sources, while fossil generation has fallen from roughly 48% in 2010 to around 10% in 2025.

For years I have been telling the fellows that the reason we don't see as much NSF anymore has a lot less to do with the fact that we are using Group 2 agents and more because we aren't using remotely as much Gad as we did in the 2000s. This article clearly lays out why complacency is dangerous.

Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents and the Theater of Safety : Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
veruse, has highlighted the risk of developing nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium toxicity from gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Conflicting reports lead to confusion regarding the types of agents that cause injury, the overall injury rates, acceptable defining terms, and even which patient population is most at risk. This confusion can lead to withholding contrast-enhanced examinations in patients for fear of kidney injury. However, at the other end of the spectrum, many providers question the risk or reality of complications, citing conflicting reports. In truth, the risk of complications lies somewhere in between. Educated patients are knowledgeable about the risks associated with GBCA administrations, but many of their concerns are often dismissed by healthcare providers. Transparency is key, as there is still much to learn about the overall risk of gadolinium exposures in states of kidney disease and normal kidney function. A learned provider will be foundational for mitigating patient concerns. To provide a foundational understanding of the risks associated with gadolinium exposure, this review focuses on the complications of gadolinium-based contrast agents. In ideal situations, contrast agents used in radiological procedures should provide sufficient image enhancement without high doses and without eliciting any adverse effects. Regrettably, this has not been the case, particularly in states of kidney disease. Standard use, and oftentimes contrast overuse, has highlighted the risk of developing nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium toxicity from gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs).
