  1. The site just feels gross now. I had built a community of pharmacist friends and used it for some urbanism content but now I don’t even visit because it’s just spam ads, bots, and nasties saying the quiet parts out loud. It’s a shame, really.
  2. We don’t have to look any further than the cost of a bag of Funyuns. $5.49?! Are you kidding me? I’d do anything to go back to the days where I thought $3.99 for a bag of onion-flavored air was expensive.
  3. I watched CNN religiously when the Ukrainian conflict reared its ugly head but as soon as that started to become “normal” in the news cycle it got boring, fast. Maybe I’m just not cut out for cable news (I’ve really never watched much of it outside of election nights) but maybe that is part of their problem. At least Fox keeps the inflammatory stuff going. Keeps the rage boner up.
  4. Throwing some shade here, but shouldn’t we be asking the same of the MTA?
  5. My first thought was “are the Dutch that insular that this has to be so closely tracked?” (yes) but then I found this handy Wiki page.
  6. As a citizen of the Great Lakes megalopolis I’ll welcome all climate refugees with open arms, provided that we can get our zoning laws in order… However I have this vision that within my lifetime lower Michigan will be covered in shitty low density suburbia from US-10 to I-94, so I’m not too optimistic.
  7. I’ve been saying this since mid 2020: We’re all more attractive with masks on. That, and they make it easier to say, “go fuck yourself” to assholes at the pharmacy. Smile with your eyes, everyone! 😷
  8. This years respiratory “tripledemic” is not surprising given the emerging evidence that COVID absolutely destroys our immune systems, even in mild to moderate infections. The arise of “long COVID” has been what’s scared me for the majority of the pandemic. Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection Immune dysregulation and immunopathology induced by SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses — are we our own worst enemy? Long-term perturbation of the peripheral immune system months after SARS-CoV-2 infection
  9. 1995ish. That was when combination antiretroviral therapy became available.
  10. This virus-palooza has been quite the ride. An especially severe respiratory virus season combined with drug shortages have led to scenes just short of pure chaos in many pharmacies. Drugs currently on shortage: - beta-lactam antibiotics (amoxicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanate) - alternatives to the above (particular cefdinir) - oseltamivir (Tamiflu) - children’s formulations of Tylenol and Motrin In short, things you never want to be without. Scary shit, man.
