The fact that there are multiple candidates for what this linear regression is blows my mind 🤯
(Original, of course: xkcd.com/2347/)

ALT This is an edited version of the XKCD "Dependency" cartoon, which shows a number of blocks balanced very precariously on top of a tiny block. The many large blocks have been labelled "All modern medicine" and the tiny block is labelled "A linear regression equation based on ~20 patients published in like 1970."
This analysis is so neat. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Ship it.
I was wondering why bitters bottles always have these jacked up old fashioned labels on em.
Turns out the brothers behind this brand were entering their recipe in a contest like a hundred years ago. One brother worked on the bottle and the other the label.
At game time they realized they were different sizes. They slapped the label on and entered it anyway.
They lost the contest but a judge pulled em aside and told em the wonky label made their product stand out. They kept doing it and not only is Angostura one of the biggest brands in the space, their aesthetic dominates the category.
I’m in the internal medicine year in review. I’m going to try and avoid tweeting every slide but these sessions are always my jam. #SCCM2023
