and I went to pharmacies, got pills & tested them.
Turns out, some are selling oxy & Adderall over the counter – but the pills are actually fentanyl & meth.

Hello Twitter I have a #journorequest. I am looking to interview folks over the age of 100 for an article to appear in the @washingtonpost. If you know any centenarians who would be happy to talk, please reach out
Researchers said the results are "hope-giving" — suggesting, per the authors, that “a combination of more healthy lifestyle factors are associated with a slower rate of memory decline, regardless of the genetic risk.”
For tips on healthy aging check out:
The effect they found was cumulative — meaning that the more healthy lifestyle factors a person had, the better off they were (in terms of memory/dementia risk).
Most importantly, that held true even for people who are genetically more at risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
As part of the study some 29,000 ppl above the age of 60 were asked about their daily habits, with a focus on six "modifiable lifestyle factors."
Here is what a "healthy lifestyle" looked like for each factor:
🧵 I saw a ton of reader interest in my write-up this week of a study that found a link between 6 “healthy lifestyle habits” and a ⬇️ risk of dementia/slower rate of memory decline in a large group of older people in China.
Here are the takeaways:
Justin Bieber has sold the rights to his music to a Blackstone-backed investment fund — becoming the latest, and one of the youngest, artists to cash in on their catalogues amid a boom in music licensing deals.
I have worked (a depressing number) of mass shootings as a breaking-news reporter at The Washington Post. I have never seen one where the early communication from authorities has been as opaque & hard to pin down as the #MontereyPark shooting.
10 years after "this is fine" was created, the fire has grown, the internet has made us all residents of the burning house, and the artist behind the meme
Nous avons un vrai problème avec les trottinettes en free floating. Elles encombrent les rues et le modèle n'est pas écologique. Je vais donc poser la question aux Parisiens pour savoir ce qu’ils veulent. Mon avis : on arrête.

L'Amérique du Nord 🇨🇦🇺🇸 connait présentement la plus grave épidémie de drogue de son histoire. L’espérance de vie a même baissé aux Etats-Unis, une première depuis des décennies...

All eyes are on Brazil right now. But where is the man at the center of it all, Jair Bolsonaro? According to his wife, in a Florida hospital, receiving treatment for abdominal pain related to his stabbing in 2018. My story for The

The pizza box in Andrew Tate’s video didn’t lead to his detention, Romanian prosecutor’s office told us. It took months to investigate—& the anti-organized-crime unit seeks to bring the Tate brothers to trial. If convicted, they could face years in prison.
Absolutely unsurprised by this. Only surprised by how little we object to giving governments troves of our data, knowing how likely it is they will misuse it down the line.
"Harry and Meghan’s attempt to seize control of the narrative of their rift with the House of Windsor — and to profit from the same — is sparking strong emotion in Britain ahead of a docuseries about the couple’s well-documented ups and downs."
I am concerned about the news of firing of a vast amount of staff of Twitter in Europe. If you want to effectively detect and take action against #disinformation & propaganda, this requires resources. Especially in the context of disinformation warfare.
