Sounds like it’s a lot cheaper to stay a fatty.
I mean they’ll probably make gobs of money even with that name, but they need to come up with something catchier.
Wegovy is the name, which is weird.
Also maybe 800/mo not /wk? Hard to find real info for me right now.
42k a year seems a bit much, but think of all the grocery money you’ll save!
I think they could go with Wegroovy instead. Doesn’t take a Sackler to figure this drug marketing stuff out.
If it’s weekly injection it must be a depot? I’m assuming it lowers glucose acutely and you wouldn’t just pump somebody full of this shit for immediate action.
Nah, it’s modified so that the kidney doesn’t clear it quickly, allowing for a long half life. Don’t think it lowers glucose much acutely either, but probably does somewhat.

The obviously correct name for this drug is Willpower(R).

Holy shit.
My wife and I were watching a random episode of WPT and at the end they had a photo of Sexton and “Mike Sexton 1947-2020”
What the fuck? Mike died? How did I not know this? I didnt even know he had cancer. Ive been out of regular poker news so long, even though I posted on a poker site for years.

Damn I didn’t know either
One day, I was sitting in Garry’s office across the desk from him. A few of the writers and one of the actors were in the room, too. I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned, and there was that actor’s flaccid penis draped on it like a pirate’s dead parrot. Riotous laughter ensued from all but one of us.
It was a JOKE! Boys will be boys. Cancel culture is ruining Hollywood I say!
You can google street view hike up Mt. Fuji.
I meant that Bryce rules.

Chapo brought this up a while ago. Basically you’d have to act like an actual Nazi to have a similar effect.
Trump being president used to be the punchline to a joke. Once it became the premise, comedy died a little. I’ve always found most late night TV unwatchable but Trump made it worse by creating a neverending supply of low-hanging fruit to pick from when doing monologues. Now, every show is basically the same: a bunch of foreigners and people named Jimmy making the same jokes in the same way every single weeknight.

I guess that show was also terrible behind the scenes.

First treatment authorized since 2003. First designed to slow progression. Fingers crossed.

A nailbiter in Peru. Presumably the OAS is preparing a report as I type.
Peru’s presidential election outcome was on a knife-edge on Monday, with conservative Keiko Fujimori clinging to a slender lead but socialist rival Castillo Pedro looking set to overhaul her in what could prove a photo finish in the polarized race.
The official count showed Fujimori with around 50.1% and Castillo on 49.9%, with nearly 93% of the vote counted. The leftist candidate was taking as much as 70% of newly counted votes in some updates and the gap was just 30,000 votes.

Vials are what I get. Just put it under your tongue.
Castillo has been getting closer and closer with most of the remaining stuff in rural areas he has more support from, the international votes will probably lean the other way though. But def a nail biter
