Desperately seeking someone who can explain from a scientific perspective why an #ironinfusion males me feel awful for more than a week. It’s as if fire ants are living in my skin.

if this really is curtains (harhar) for the kennedy center I’m at peace with my one memory from the place: seeing CATS in fifth grade and running into my orthodontist in the lobby afterwards

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a giraffe tripping on a rock. The giraffe says “woop” as it stumbles.
Panel two zooms in on the giraffe’s face. The giraffe is sweating in embarrassment. We see a thought bubble above the giraffe. The text within the thought bubble reads, “that was embarrassing.”
The third panel shows the giraffe closing its eyes and munching on leaves reassuringly. The thought bubble above the giraffe reads, “but no one will remember.”
The fourth and final panel pans to an elephant staring at the giraffe from behind some bushes.

Fiona Apple: Tidal
Rare is a debut so fully formed and overflowing with music and emotion. Tidal grapples eloquently with loneliness, retribution, and the oceanic ups and downs of being young and being a woman.

the reason for the season
Passage from an article about Mitt Romney that reads as follows:

The former Massachusetts governor and shapeshifting perennial candidate spilled the beans on his hot dog meat habit in a moment captured by the Washington Times, which just published a lengthy profile on Romney, who is running for Senate in Utah:
"My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat," he told a gathering of supporters as they joined him recently for a casual dinner organized by his campaign. "My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don't you prefer steak? It's like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best."
