You can buy a whole host of sketchy drugs at many gas stations. I wondered why gas stations, of all places, were the premier destination for people seeking quasi-legal recreational (or knockoff pharmaceutical) drugs. I dig into why in this week's @statnews.com STATus Report. youtu.be/4QsVjgIWVZs
Belated thanks Steven! I got out to SF on the Sunday before JPM so I go to watch both the Pats and the Niners win in the bay which was cool. (the coast seemed clear of niner gang while recording haha)

Moderna's stock priced has plummeted ~90% from it's highs during Covid. Its flagship mRNA technology being basically "under attack from Washington" certainly doesn't help. But there are other factors at play as well. @jasonmast.bsky.social and STAT's Damian Garde explain @statnews.com
I've honestly never heard that before! I definitely have a Boston accent, but I try to mask it a bit on video. Maybe my "trying-not-to-have-a-Boston-accent" accent sounds like a Canadian accent haha.
Hi! I'm from Boston. I do play hockey though.
watch to get the context for "David Half-Asselhoff" π
And one more with maybe my favorite pun I've ever snuck into a video
