GLP-1 medications get at the heart of addiction: study Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown in a new study that GLP-1 medications, typically used for diabetes and weight loss, may be effective at treating and pre...

GLP-1 drugs offer an incredible opportunity for addiction treatment. These drugs pull some kind of a whammy on our brain's reward circuits like nothing else. We would never even have them without two curious scientists pulling at a weird thread in their research:

US Senators ARE NOT police. They do not have qualified immunity. They have zero authority to assault a protesting US Marine Corps Veteran. He broke the vets hand in a door, you can hear the bones crack. Call your Senators. 202-224-3121

Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo it's been recalled. I thought maybe it was out of stock so long because of the recall and the ones I got were made post-recall. But no. It's been recalled because it may contain GLASS. www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-aler...

Highland Park is installing ICE warning sirens. An excellent idea and goddamn I’m sick of the necessity.

Okay I had missed the part where both Israel and we denied being responsible for the bombing. Some mysterious third party in a trenchcoat apparently bombed a girls' school & killed 165 people, possibly intentionally but possibly b/c they hadn't updated their data since 2024 or even 2016. SUPER.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

His gift of prophesy is unmatched

I believe he's saying, "Radical anarcho communism." Radical narco communism sounds awesome. Drugs for everyone!

Well, they also seem to have to have many fake outs, so half the acts end with the character coming across someone acting fishy & we think she's run into the murderer, & then the fishy person is like, "No, I am just doing something reasonable extremely suspiciously for some reason."

Which would make sense if these were characters who normally lead wild lives, but in these dramas it's always the smart girl and her nerd friends.

Maybe the teens just ghost each other all the time now and I didn't know.

They just wander off into the night & don't tell anybody where they've gone, following murder stuff, & then they go home & go to sleep & wake up to 10 texts like, "Where U go? Getting worried about U" & then they tell their friends, "Oh, I just got tired & went home" & the friends accept that.

Also, side note, in the teen-girl-is-solving-a-mystery ones, for some reason, they're always going to a party with their friends & then leaving to pursue a lead w/o saying anything, & then not answering their friends' texts until the next day, & for some reason the friends never get mad about this.

I will say, I have been watching a LOT of series about people, especially teens, deciding to solve a mystery in their town lately, & what it has taught me is that these are hard to write well. B/c how do you sustain a whole-season mystery w/o cheating w/o some very silly plot twists?

I described the experience to a friend as, "Like slowly watching a decent artist do a paint by numbers, but every twenty minutes or so, some of their colors get taken away, and in the end it turns out to be a painting of a turd." Which is mean (& why I won't name the show), but accurate.

Yesterday I watched a TV show based on a YA mystery novel. The show was written & acted well, but the book's plot, it turns out, is insanely convoluted & nonsensical. It was a very confusing watch, b/c it started okay & then the characters' actions made less & less sense until I was agape & annoyed.

Sorry, I'm not connected like that to anyone there. Also, you should know that at the moment the assistant's union is on strike, so if offices are running they are not running at normal or full capacity.

I mean, once I learned a friend had been home-schooled and I thought, "Ohhh, that explains a lot." But I didn't SAY it.

War is a mass disabling event, and taking away a country's access to medication disproportionately hurts sick and disabled people.

Anti-imperialism is disability justice.
