Tim Lahan for VoxGLP-1 drugs like Ozempic turn down the dial on our loudest desires — seemingly for more than just food. Marco Leyton, PhD, assures me the cocaine he purchased was legal.

We don’t like the two-party system. So why do we have it? America’s two-party system is widely hated. Very few Americans think the two major parties do an adequate job representing them, and most say more parties are needed. But when it comes time to vote, very few people vote for third-party candidates. Often, this is explained as either a failure of will (the country would have third parties if... Read more ›

MelkiNimages viaGetty ImagesTikTok’s “how old do I look?” trend is exacerbating fears that people have had for generations. I keep seeing people asking the internet, “How old do I look?” Each time, I want to tell them, “No, don’t do that, you’re going to get your feelings hurt,” not because people in the comments will be truthful but because they will be mean, on purpose, for sport.
