β€œScientists finally reveal what’s behind long COVID’s mysterious brain fog”

Headline should be β€œScientists finally DISCOVER”.

Either way it’s great news

Jonah Ryan's character from Veep. A standard white guy wearing a suit and glasses with an extremely punchable face.

I'm listening to an audiobook about Enron and every single guy sounds like he looks like Jonah Ryan from Veep

Indivior to stop marketing Opvee, controversial overdose-reversal medication Indivior is halting Opvee promotion after a New York settlement. Critics say the overdose drug is overpriced, risky, and no safer than widely used naloxone.

I used to avoid checking a bag in case it got lost in transit but now I just pack the Important Things in my carry-on and my checked bag has things like sneakers that can be replaced if needed

Article from CNN about drug seizure stating they got enough cocaine to fatally overdose the entire population of Florida

Article from CNN about drug seizure stating they got enough cocaine to fatally overdose the entire population of Florida

There is no standard lethal dose of cocaine. Overdose risk depends on many factors… route (snorted, smoked, injected), body weight, tolerance, health status, and what other substances are on board. Someone can die from a few hundred mg while some use multiple grams daily for years without issue.

I have no problem with the owls or the supernatural murderers or the prophetic log or the cops using dreams to solve crime, but I draw the line at all the girls of Twin Peaks finding asshole boys like James and Bobby so attractive when Deputy Hawk is RIGHT there

Loved ones shocked, worried after beloved Utah violinist detained by ICE Friends and family are reacting after Utah violinist John Shin was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday.

"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney"

I got a subscription for my husband last December and it's genuinely been one of the best purchases. I was reading the July issue last night and straight up cackled.

The advertising for Chick-fil-A with the cows is really bizarre to me. It asks you to consider that cows are lovable creatures with have agency who want desperately to live. But then it needs you to stop thinking at that exact spot. If you even imagine the outline of a chicken it all falls apart.

On the one hand, I get how a place like FB could suck you in and get your head spinning. On the other....interesting how she chose to lay out the timeline of events so you almost don't notice how long she stayed after helping with Really Bad Shit

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Remember when Taylor Swift compared publicly admitting to being attracted to Matty Healy to Jesus being crucified on the cross? Feels like we moved past that a little too quickly

Just to accurately lay out the course of events, people were yelling at him because his auto-responding robot that was trained on Twitter’s userbase still displayed β€” against all odds β€” a modicum of empathy. He then made the robot speak like him and within hours it was calling itself Mechahitler.
