Thank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas.

Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.

Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year.

Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.

So yes, absolutely make diet changes and upgrades, that certainly cannot hurt you one bit. These suggestions are great, high fiber diets are so very good for most people. But if you have a PCP to consult with, by all means discuss this with them. /5

For me, rosuvastatin works great and I'm on the lowest dose, 5mg. In 6 months taking every day, it lowered my overall cholesterol from 239 to 163 (the goal is to have that number under 200 for most people).

I changed my diet completely while discussing other treatments with my PCP. He told me that changing my diet would lower my numbers only about 10% and that I would need to take a statin every day. He said other people could lower their LDL more but I am predisposed to high LDL regardless /2

Tal, I'm not a doctor but I can pass along what my primary care physician told me about 20 years ago. YMMV.

This man received his masters and PhD at Harvard, a tenured "researcher" at UCLA.

After spewing this load of bs, how does he still have his medical license?

Also, funny that he feels he has no right to tell people what to do with their bodies vis-a-vis vaccines but... abortion...? Ah, crickets...

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

A personnel change is not justice.

Minnesota’s demands call for real accountability and safety — not appeasement:

1️⃣ ICE out of Minnesota.

2️⃣ Accountability when officers kill.

3️⃣ No new ICE funding.

4️⃣ 4th Amendment businesses now. #ICEOut

OMG I completely forgot this SCTV bit. Count Floyd hosting a talk show with Lucy and the kid from Deliverance. 😅

The way Joe Flaherty called out the name "Luuucy! Vat's the matter...?" in his Count Floyd voice! Beyond hilarious!

You could tell, especially on SCTV and Schitt's Creek, how she brought out the talent of those who worked with her. Her comedic acting chops rivaled those of Lucille Ball & Carol Burnett

My deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and fans. May her memory be a blessing for us all.

Catherine O'Hara had such amazing, impeccable comedic timing and delivery. She was the secret weapon of Schitt's Creek. She was explosively hilarious on SCTV. And she was nothing less than amazing in all of Christopher Guest's movies, seamlessly working so well with Eugene Levy in particular.
