Well, fuck.
Just been informed by my GP practice's pharmacist that there's now a national (UK) shortage of Rybelsus, aka Semaglutide, my most effective diabetes medication, that's likely to last into 2024. Influencers have been boosting it as a weight loss drug (it's the same drug—in tablet form—as Ozembic/Wegovy) and private clinics are buying up all the stock for image-conscious idiots, depriving diabetics of access.
(I have 12 weeks in the cupboard, then I may lose access for months.)
Are there any people who are interested in #programming and wanna learn #commonlisp ?

The media are not reporting on Mitch McConnell but if Biden even bumps his knee they're all over it, and that's because why?

Biden is in much better shape than McConnell and Trump but he's not allowed to have any bumps.
👀👀Three’s a charm!
BREAKING on MSNBC:
A third defendant has been added to the #Trump classified #documents case. Carlos #DeOliveira has been added to the docket charging Trump and Walt #Nauta.
NYT identified Carlos Deoliveira as the worker who drained the pool at Mar-a-Lago in October and, in the process, flooded the room where surveillance footage is kept. #legal #JackSmith
@mguhlin I want to be optimistic about the future of public education, but the politicians are making it hard. If only we would let EDUCATORS (who aren't beholden to a political agenda) be in charge of our schools!!!
