Good night, and good lush.
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.

Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

What a great listen, very informative!
Thanks to @sciam.bsky.social for having me on Science Quickly to talk about GLP-1s!

They even got in the part where I talk about WHY the side effects are so bad.

The area postrema sounds like a terrible form of MMA. And TBH for your GI, I suppose it is. www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/epis...

It’s wild that this is empirically true but not part of any political narrative.
every republican president destroys the economy
2025 is now, officially, the worst year for job creation outside of recession since 2003.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

I wonder, if inconveniently, if Epstein's victims are able to compartmentalize well enough to have a happy Christmas. In that vein, here is a deeply poignant read by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social because we must't look away or become distracted.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here

Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

We all know people who tried the damndest to get sober, who managed for a while, who relapsed, even though the cost was unimaginable. We can't judge, and we can't condemn. We can only express the deepest sympathy for those who struggle, and for those who fail, and for all those who pay the price.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
