last night at oasis some fans were passing around a very strong joint and my large male friend eventually fainted, taking me and his girlfriend down with him. then, an absolute SWARM of huge men in bucket hats rushed over to hoist him up and everyone kept singing like nothing happened. lads!

one thing i will say is that liam emptied the tank on wonderwall last night. he looked like he was being physically tortured when he sang it in manchester. know your audience.

if you examine the evidence closely I believe you will find it was the other dog that fisher saw in the mirror whomst is to blame

My all time favorite was for a psoriasis medication that had the side effect of skin cancer. Really selling me on that cure*. *Ha! Just kidding, like diabetes, there's no money in a *cure* for psoriasis, so until I guess Cuba sorts that out for everyone else, we're screwed.

it's also like... if one or two people in the sample group gets a migraine after taking the drug, it's a potential side effect. who designed this garbage-ass free market pharma game? it becomes dumber the more you learn about it.
lindsey adler (@lindseyadler.bsky.social) reply parent
i watched this youtube video about the scientific development and market competition for creating GLPs and it was fascinating? horrifying? definitely educational. youtu.be/9dMpY-ZALXc
lindsey adler (@lindseyadler.bsky.social) reply parent
it's also been funny to watch the rules around pharma ads evolve. at first they could just advertise it. then they had to list the potential side effects and did it on 3x speed. now they have to say it slowly so people can understand them. so there's no time left for the positive branding. iconic.
lindsey adler (@lindseyadler.bsky.social)
god american pharma commercials are just so insane. like every part of the ecosystem that results in these ads is so broken and exploitative and then we get ads for specific prescription medications and the voice over tells you how the medication could harm you. it's straight absurdism. unserious!

You know, I've known @kfile.bsky.social for over a decade. His investigations have been non-partisan and demonstrably impactful. But for years, conservatives & liberals have used the death of his child to attack his reporting. Internet cruelty doesn't surprise me anymore. This shocks me every time.
