I’m lucky to have extended healthcare benefits through work, because yeah, my regular doctor completely dismissed me re perimenopause. I’m also lucky I had already found a non-kooky naturopath. Shouldn’t have needed to though
Private menopause clinics are growing in Canada. Here’s why | CBC Radio
Some Canadians are paying for menopause care from a host of private practitioners opening clinics outside the public health-care system.

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated"

It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?

When Elon Musk rolled back Grok safeguards, he enabled millions of people to be victimized. Shamefully, governments did little to protect their citizens.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.
