A lot of people seem to think there will be a cure for them if they get Long COVID. There will not be. Mask up.

misspelling Lindsey's name is my favorite detail actually
Everyone's focused on how idiotic Lindsey Halligan is, but don't sleep on the official response from Department of Justice spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre.

It's just Mean Girls all the way down, if they'd written that script while huffing paint fumes.

An unexpected perk of doing my DrPH while working is seeing people take academic knowledge and move it to the real world. A classmate mentioned she took evidence-based screening questions about intimate partner violence from the readings and implemented them at her practice as a surgeon.

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died."

The cruelty is the point.

“Scientists finally reveal what’s behind long COVID’s mysterious brain fog”

Headline should be “Scientists finally DISCOVER”.

Either way it’s great news

Indivior to stop marketing Opvee, controversial overdose-reversal medication

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 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.
Some incredibly good news:

One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.

In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.

In short, it’s working.

So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

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.

i distinctly remember a decade+ ago when all the creative jobs started going out the window being told to “learn to code”
"Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1% and 7.5% respectively ...

That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates, which is just 3%"

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
