Now that's an obit. And this diet plan to get you to 98 needs to be studied.

Oh, that's really wrenching.

And her cousin is actively destroying things that could help her or that she needed already.
1. Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, reveals that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia just hours after she gave birth to her daughter, and that she has less than a year to live.

Schlossberg is just 35.

There should be a book (podcast, whatever) called “This Is What Life Used To Be Like “, and it should be required reading for everyone.

As far as I can tell, Virgina Guiffre just managed to take down the Republican party and Mike Johnson's numbers too.

Also a former Prince.

Gold bars might work. Also bitcoin. Plan your bribes.
Guess what NIH funded friends. No more paylines! This will be replaced by an entirely opaque system that appears to bool down to “whatever we want.”

They have destroyed the meritorious peer review system. Score will just be “considered”.

I'm quote tweeting not as a dunk, but there's an influencer who got offered a free IV drip and as a result has been dealing with the flesh eating bacteria for years now.

A lot of these medi-spas are not well regulated and opening your arm to them has real infection risks.
Both of my siblings are proponents of the IV drip for general health which feels like… too much? My sister just had one to recover from jet lag. Am I in denial and possibly because I need an IV drip?

NO, YOU CANNOT DISAGREE ON GERM THEORY AND CALL YOURSELF A SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION.

Selling out your scientific integrity to try to avoid political fallout is shameful advanced compliance. You will have blood on your hands when these policies kill ppl.
