GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic linked to rare eye disease risk, study finds

A new study suggests that popular GLP-1 medications — semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) — may be linked to an increased risk of a rare eye disease that can sometimes cause sudden vision loss. Researchers stress that the overall risk remains small. The drugs are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and obesity treatment.

Should the eye disease risk lead to tighter prescribing limits on GLP-1 drugs?

The series continues directly from X-Men: The Animated Series and draws on decades of comic book storytelling.

Was changing Morph's look and voice in X-Men '97 the right creative choice?

Watches with moon dials and robot-tooth hours inject fun into a predictable market

Amid a watch market dominated by racing, diving and centenary heritage stories, some new designs are breaking the mould. One standout is a watch featuring a robot whose colourful teeth indicate the hours, alongside moon-phase dials. The author argues that wristwatches can and should be fun, not just serious luxury objects.

It is a variant of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, more commonly associated with intense grief or fear. Cases brought on by joyful events are exceptionally rare in medical literature.

Scientists search for Earth's oldest complex life microfossils

Scientists are searching for microfossils of Earth's earliest eukaryotes — the first complex organisms in the planet's history. Finding such traces is described as extremely difficult, likened to chasing an astrobiological rainbow. A confirmed discovery would be of major significance for astrobiology and understanding the origins of life.

Would finding Earth's first eukaryotes change our understanding of life in the universe?

Inheriting money in your 80s: impact on Social Security taxes and Medicare premiums

An elderly woman who inherits money in her 80s could face higher taxes on her Social Security benefits and increased Medicare premiums if the inheritance pushes her income above certain thresholds. Social Security benefits can become partially taxable, and Medicare uses the IRMAA system to raise premiums for higher-income beneficiaries. Financial advisers recommend planning ahead to minimise the tax impact of an inheritance.

Should inheritances received by seniors be exempt from Social Security taxation?

How to Blanch Tomatoes Without Turning Them to Mush

Ripe tomatoes can be easily peeled by brief blanching: score a cross on the base, submerge in boiling water for 30–60 seconds, then transfer immediately to ice-cold water. Over-blanching breaks down the flesh and leaches out nutrients, so timing and rapid cooling are essential. Tomatoes prepared this way keep their firmness and most of their vitamins, making them ideal for sauces and preserves.
