    Nope, Ozempic Hype House isn't an Onion headline, it's the diet-industrial complex up to no good.

    (Bloomberg) — In a mansion on a hill with a killer view of Los Angeles, a dozen social media influencers have gathered to bake protein packed muffins, take selfies with giant injector pens and talk about how Ozempic has changed their lives. Welcome to the GLP-1 hype house, sponsored by WeightWatchers.

    The day-long experience was a marketing event for WW International Inc.’s new prescription obesity drug service — possibly the biggest brand shift in the company’s 60 year history. WeightWatchers has been enlisting influencers to “help bust the misconceptions and stigma around GLP-1 medications” — as in weight-loss shots like Wegovy and Zepbound — and to “share that WW is here to support you,” according to an email sent out to multiple potential partners viewed by Bloomberg News.

  2. Some of the vile comments on social media today, in the wake of Efeso's untimely death, remind us of why the anti-vax mob made themselves social outcasts and pariahs.

    These are deeply antisocial people who thrive on hate and fear. They got away with some utterly awful behaviour towards Jacinda Ardern, and now seem to be emboldened to spread their lies and dark delusions even more.

    The new king of X, Elon Musk, is now doxxing people he doesn't like.

    Social media was a terrible idea.
