Just shut down the whole karaoke bar with my version of the Skyrizi song. People with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were coming up to me with tears in their eyes wanting to shake my hand. The bartender added me on insta and let me hit her Skyrizi pen.
The Saints have to be one of the worst preseason football teams record wise over like the past 5 or 6 years.
They literally have played unwatchable preseason football since Drew retired.
Scoring a touchdown feels like an impossibility in most games.
💸 Workers’ Share of National Income Hits Record Low
Economist Justin Wolfers says only 54.4 cents of every dollar generated in the U.S. economy now goes to workers through wages and benefits, the lowest share in data extending to 1929. He says that helps explain why record stock markets and corporate profits do not feel like prosperity to workers.
➤ The gains flow largely to asset owners. The top 10% receive about four-fifths of positive capital income, while the top 1% take more than half. Wolfers estimates a five-point drop in labor’s share equals roughly $10,000 less in annual wages per average worker than if the share had remained stable.
➤ He points to giant firms that grow sales faster than payroll, globalization, and weakened worker bargaining power. Technology raises productivity, but power determines whether workers or owners capture the gains.
➤ AI could help workers do more and earn more, or automate skilled tasks and leave fewer people in precarious jobs. Wolfers asks anyone declaring the economy is booming: “Working for whom?”

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
NBA YoungBoy says he’s never worked a 9-to-5 in his life, admitting he’s seen people work 10X harder than him and never succeed:
“You’re not meant to have that.”
The LSU-Jayden Daniel saga takes another strange turn.
Sources confirm Daniels’ camp wants LSU to return its copy of the Heisman Trophy—something LSU has no intention of doing.
Daniels contacted LSU leadership before fall camp. Lane Kiffin has personally spoken to Daniels.
