I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear this news, and I’m thinking of Bernadette and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

We cannot tolerate political or sexual violence in any form. Those responsible must be held accountable.

Thank you for speaking out, Bernadette. We're with you. https://t.co/BjXCEjq23s

Comedian and former late-night bandleader Reggie Watts is a proud ketamine enthusiast.

Loved ones of his ex-girlfriend Katherine McCollough claim she became addicted to the drug through Watts’ encouragement to take a heavy array of psychedelics in the name of enlightenment. McCollough died by suicide in March.

Look, I'm not an oncologist but I am frustrated by the way this dog cancer story is being interpreted from a bunch of different angles and I think basically all of this can be cleared up if people understood like...six things.

Reminder: More than a dozen of Epstein's underage victims from Palm Beach got into trouble with the law after they were raped by him. Some fell into drug abuse, and a few even served time in prison. That doesn't mean they were not sexually molested or raped as teenagers. Many abused children fall into this category of having troubled lives after being sexually assaulted.

“Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”
