This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.

In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:

- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors

This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.

Just published @NatureMedicine and presented @ASCO
Advanced, refractory solid cancers treated with a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE, Figure), Phase 1 trial, with or without Keytruda, in 61 patients. Some very favorable responses with "manageable safety profile"

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵

The Philadelphia Eagles drafted a 21 year old Nigerian who has never played football but stands 6’5”, 306 lbs with 6% body fat, a 39” vertical, a 10’10” broad jump that is 14 inches longer than any other defensive tackle at the HBCU combine, and a 4.63 40 yard dash

Just remember:

68% men have visible abs
86% men bench 220 lbs
90% men run sub 20 5k
113% men squat 315 lbs

You're doing worse than you thought

Brazilians are making a better historical enactment of precolonial Nigerian society than Nigerians are. That's crazy

“Africa is a paradox which illustrates and highlights neo- colonialism. Her earth is rich, yet the products that come from above and below the soil continue to enrich, not Africans predominantly, but groups and individuals who operate to Africa's impoverishment.”

BREAKING: Étienne Davignon, 93 year old coloniser and former EU supremo, has been charged with complicity in the murder of Patrice Lumumba. This is genuinely huge news. Great news.

[Zoom Afrika @zoomafrika1]

This is how Patrice Lumumba was arrested by the Belgian army, the US and the UK 😭😭

[Educator @DrAnnLopez]

Each time I see this video I am so heartbroken what colonizers did to this man for simply standing up for his people.

As a politician you can have your foot on the neck of Nigerians and they will look up with genuine admiration and say, wow boss, nice shoes. Nigerian politicians are the luckiest in the world.

Francis Ngannou fired back at critics claiming he ruined his legacy after the UFC:

“You can’t go to the store and pay with legacy. This is bullsh*t promotions feed fighters, that they’re fighting for legacy. Good for you. Keep the legacy, give me my pay.” 😳
