Asking someone who lost weight using a GLP-1 “well did you even try diet and exercise first? It’s easy! Calories in/calories out!” is the same as asking someone who’s on an antidepressant “well did you even try not being depressed first? It’s easy! Just turn that frown upside down!”

I’ve been saying this since Thrift Shop: Macklemore is truly the second coming of 2pac. The main difference though is that Macklemore can actually rap!

I’ve been taking a GLP every day for the last six months and I haven’t lost any weight. I’ve just had almost non-stop diarrhea. People are really losing all this weight just by taking Gigantic Laxative Pills?

I read somewhere that producing one pound of ground beef requires as much water as like 10,000 AI prompts. Insane

The Chicago Reader Union has been bargaining w/ Noisy Creek since February. In that time, management has consistently offered proposals that would cut longstanding benefits in exchange for meager pay raises. We need YOU to tell Noisy Creek we deserve better! 🧵 🔗: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

On March 17, the city evicted 20 unhoused Chicagoans from their tent homes in the freezing cold in Legion Park. Lots has been written about the encampment's closure, but the story of the fight to stop the sweep has been largely untold, until now. chicagoreader.com/news/legion-...

What’s crazier: 1. Andre 3000 has now released multiple solo projects 2. None of them are rap albums 3. Actually he plays jazz now 4. Jazz flute! Some piano too 5. Flea has also pivoted to jazz 6. Flea plays trumpet too 7. Flea’s jazz album is better than any of 3k’s jazz albums lol

Reposting one of my most genius ideas: if the NBA wants an interesting All Star game they should split the two teams by age or height. Here’s how this year’s teams would look:

If every rap song with a sample did the thing they did on Watch The Throne where they said Otis “featured Otis Redding,” what would be the funniest one? DNA. by Kendrick Lamar (feat. Geraldo Rivera)? Hard Knock Life by Jay-Z (feat. Little Orphan Annie)?

Something interesting I noticed when I was bored at work and scrolling BBall-Ref: in the last 10 seasons, the team that led the league in 3 point rate always finished with a top 6 offense. This year, the warriors lead the league in 3 point rate and are… 23rd in offensive rating so far.

The most embarrassing thing my parents would do when I was younger was tell people I listened to “Norwegian death metal,” when everyone knows that SWEDEN makes the death metal and Norwegians make BLACK METAL. I still get embarrassed thinking about it.

I can’t believe there’s a show called Ultimate Ninja Warrior where the contestants just climb on various kinds of monkey bars. No fighting or killing or anything. They should’ve just called it Adults on a Playground.
