1920s guy driving a model t with a "i bought this before ford went crazy" bumper sticker

ok so I looked it up, and it turns out they made a track out of PVC pipes, down a hill. The owner didn't realise PVC expanded in the heat, so on a turn the track just fell apart and the dude inside went over a fucking free way and into a swamp.

The funniest part is that the inspector was watching the whole time, and once the ball stopped he left without saying anything. Park management just shut it down then and there.

She's back! Her name is Marician Dedeux Brown btw

the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"

I hate that this is infact how ozempic is viewed now because I watched, in real time, how my mothers diabetes got significantly better on ozempic, she didn't start it for weight loss, infact she started it before it even got big for weight loss, but all people can talk about is the weight loss on ozempic and not how good it is as a diabetes medication. Watching my mom find energy and happiness because for once a drug wasn't making her lethargic and miserable was wonderful, she was able to feel better, but then it was spouted as this miracle weight loss drug, and suddenly she just couldn't access it anymore at a good price. Not only has the ozempidemic made fatphobia normal in an already fatphobic society but it's making it harder to access for people who genuinely need it because it's seen as a luxury cosmetic drug.

my A1C (long-term blood sugar test) tends to waver up and down between just barely below the pre-diabetic range to up into the low end of the diabetic range, and due to a long family history there's a good chance of it progressing to diabetes if it isn't kept under control. Ozempic, or another glp1, would actually be really helpful for leveling out my blood sugar and keeping me from progressing towards actual diabetes. However, because so many people have been trying to get on it, the state insurance i have has tightened the requirements for coverage, and now you need two back-to-back tests in the full diabetic range to get on the drug, and because my blood sugar fluctuates so much in the long term my tests aren't consistent enough for me to qualify despite the fact that it would be genuinely very helpful for keeping me from developing diabetes. i'm so fucking sick of it being a fucking cosmetic drug i swear to god.
