Welcome. I wish it were under better circumstances. I know well the pain of trying to find the right meds – it can take years and is unlikely to be useful if treatment-resistant. I’m not going to make suggestions, as you’re likely just finding out whether an SSRI/SNRI is working, I will point out that the purpose of U.S.-based medicine is to make sure you never get better and have to keep paying because, somehow next month …

Report that. I can guarantee few things in life, but racism here is taken very seriously.

Saying that’s part of the problem is akin to saying the asteroid was part of the problem for dinosaurs. All you’re really missing is the gutting of critical thinking in public education under Reagan.

They really are. I chose this one because the writing was sharp, and I didn’t really want to spam y’all on what was already a rough day.

But for anyone who doesn’t regularly read Rolling Stone (I didn’t until the Post shat the bed), the political coverage is incisive and pushing the left edge of the Overton window, which is precisely where you want your journalism.

Thanks for this! I knew nothing about the region ahead of watching the video, and some of their concepts from 800 years ago would be useful for today’s leaders to bear in mind.

Centralizing local coverage has been tried at scale before. At least with weather, there’s less opportunity to get street names wrong, but the only plausible outcome here is a worse product.

Fourth Reich is definitely starting out pretty chilly!

Here’s some Kool-Aid, too … 🤣

The larger goals of neoliberalism are beyond the scope of this post. I get what you’re saying, but we’re still trying to pretend the thin, shoddy veneer is walnut.

This isn’t just politics … I’ve gotten a 5 in a performance review and gotten a 0% raise as a result. The midterms were very much a reaction to Dobbs, not a referendum on Biden. It’s confounding how anyone at the DNC saw the House loss as a sign that the plan was working.

We’ll see how long it takes for the government to put a stop to US companies actively data-mining, profiling, and discriminating against our citizenry.

Narrator: It never happened.

We have such short political memories these days. Biden was elected in 2020 as a one-term caretaker Not Trump to restore some sense of normalcy. Attempting another run was the first domino.

Dude’s 82. You don’t even let someone run a McDonald’s at that age, so mental and physical decline were not only inevitable but apparent well ahead of the debate. Instead of announcing he’ll step down after the midterms and allow Dems to have a robust primary process that would produce what voters wanted this time (Not Biden), he decided to meander into this shitshow.

My parents are roughly the ages of Biden and Trump, and they categorically deny that life can have possibly gotten more difficult in just a single generation (easy to say when housing used to be plentiful and affordable, with layoffs a nonissue). People on Social Security should not be making economic decisions for the country at large. The gerontocracy just continues to get more out of step with each passing year.

Dude is just consistently good. Hands down the best blog suggested to me in 2024.

Gloves are off now. It’s not about money but power.

Awful lot of things coming with a Jan. 19 sell-by date these days.
