@Mr_Neutral_Man @jgallagher5555 That’s the VIC pitch I’d like to read :)

@Mr_Neutral_Man Don’t worry, bud. I’m not attacking you. I’ve seen you on leg day.

@HunterBiden I'll know we're living in a simulation if he shows up on Sesame Street next season in an episode where @elmo loses his pet rock, Rocky, and Hunter chimes in, "sometimes, it's healthier just to let it go, buddy..."

Hunter has mastered the 8 Mile defense

You can’t roast him, he’s roasted himself

There’s no ammo left, he used it all

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

@JerryCap He somehow manages to be both hilarious and deeply authentic at the drop of a hat...

It’s amazing to listen to a podcast interview with a non-founder CEO and you can just hear the politicking & management speak.

Big yikes.

@WaterworldCapi1 Hold out until they send 69 or 420

@firstadopter I asked this when I was visiting relatives in Taipei a month ago -- in Taipei, the density is high enough that routes are fairly profitable + scooter prevalence + lower CoL/wage alternatives + lots of competition

Every time I load up the @ProfEmilyOster & @fperrywilson podcast "Wellness, Actually" to listen to what weird shit wellness influencers are peddling these days.

Can’t think of a parallel where a scruffy blonde kid from nowhere defeats a gigantic empire with a one-in-a-million shot

@lhamtil @leonardo_1452_ They are the same people, but the specific individuals have been wiped out, so they are nominally different people.

Wife & I met up with one of her friends & one of my friends. The friends had met previously (her friend’s roommate went on a date with my friend once). My friend vehemently denied meeting wife’s friend.

Wife’s friend texted my friend at the table “I’m polite. I’m not wrong.”

@BobGrayson15 @JerryCap I once had someone explain to me that most successful free solos are failed suicide attempts — this seems similar.

I'm a cardiologist. I have spent twenty years watching cholesterol destroy arteries, trigger heart attacks, and kill people I care about.
Today, Eli Lilly presented data that may begin to end that era.
VERVE-102. A single infusion. One dose. It uses base editing to permanently turn off the PCSK9 gene in your liver.
Presented today at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress:
88% reduction in PCSK9.
62% reduction in LDL cholesterol.
Sustained up to 18 months.
No treatment-related serious adverse events.
One infusion. Not daily pills you forget to take. Not monthly injections. One dose — and your cholesterol may stay low for the rest of your life.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

@thsottiaux I refer to it as "the robot" 😂

@Mr_Neutral_Man Will they bill you for the time it takes to eat them?
