  • Not encouraging you or anyone to take Ozempic but the fact that they work so well for weight loss proves that there is a biological pathway that reinforces overeating. It’s beyond the dopamine feedback loop - there is an actual biochemical reason that we are compelled to overeat. It validates the idea that being successful at weight management isn’t decided by willpower alone. Some people are just more biochemically predisposed to overeat.

    These new GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promise mitigating many compulsive behaviors from overeating to alcoholism to behavioral compulsions. It’s a new area of pharmacology and I’m super excited to watch them discover novel treatments for all manners of issues.






  • You should be ashamed of yourselves!

    Back in the driveway, we were nothing!

    Now we’ve risen to the highest level, but you’re throwin’ it all away!

    If you’ve forgotten what baseketball means to America, you have only to look at this board - the Malaka-Laka Balance Board of Trust.

    Don’t you see what we have here?

    A game where guys with bad backs and bad knees can… get together and compete on the same field as guys that are all goosed up on steroids.

    But more than anything, isn’t this game about gettin’ together with your friends and just havin’ a good time?

    I remember. I remember a long time ago, I didn’t have anybody.

    You guys took me in. I guess that’s why it kills me to see you like this.

    If we can’t be friends… then the heart and soul are out of this game. Certainly out of me. I know I’ll never get that back again.

    We have sullied the waters of the Lagoon of Peace!

    I’m begging you, for the love of our Caribbean brothers, dudes, stop this madness!






  • I have to disagree, especially in this case.

    Forget the fact that his public statements can cause real damage to the targets of his accusations.

    The gag order is called for if only to ensure he receives a fair trial with an outcome determined by an untainted jury. Whether he is trying to or not, every public statement potentially removes jurors from the pool by having them create a predetermined opinion on the defendant and the case.

    This is literally a case where the judge needs to “protect the defendant from himself” as well as protect the proceedings from a mistrial or future appeals.
