Idk this 'Andrea' person but one of these has a touch of fruity and some survival crafting bs. Interesting.
We've got some more wishlists for you to look at (read: judge). These ones are from content director Evan, evergreen writer Andrea, senior editor Wesley, and lead SEO editor Lauren. Can you guess whose is whose?

You know when you start talking but immediately realize you sound like an absolute freak but then you can’t stop talking because you’ve already started telling a story.. anyway I can never go back to this place for Botox again.

America’s refusal to accept chiropractic as pseudoscience gives it legitimacy online. My theory is that (like homeopathy in India), the govt realised healthcare provision is so poor for the average citizen, they knowingly ratify a secondary shadow health system that doesn’t work to pretend they care
AARRGH. CHIROPRACTIC IS NOT MEDICINE, IT’S DANGEROUS BULLSHIT CREATED BY A FUCKING GROCER WHO THOUGHT HE COULD HEAL WITH MAGNETS. WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA
Oh good, they left Chiropractors as professionals but not Nurses, NPs, PA’s or physical therapists
That’s infuriating

Years ago, I thought I would be able to find evidence in Mississippi's own records of how it jailed some civil commitment patients for weeks or months (not 72 hours), but learned there's no record kept of that. It took a DOJ investigation in 2011 to get them to start doing that *this year.*
At least 46 people have died in Mississippi’s county jails since 2020, according to lawsuits, news reports and law enforcement records reviewed by The Marshall Project - Jackson. But those lost lives do not appear in any official statistics or records.
Why No One Knows How Many People Die in Mississippi’s Jails
Mississippi has long failed to count and report all deaths in local jails that serve the state’s 82 counties, despite a federal requirement to do so.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

I think I've heard people claim you can get insurance to cover Botox for pain in the US like a million times, but never met a damn soul that has luck w/ filing it, even if it's through a neuro/pain management. Who are these mythical people? Where on earth do y'all live?

South of Midnight is only in "Games for Impact" whatever that means at this point. Truly one of the best OSTs this year, and if you don't plan on playing, I recommend you check it out anyway.
