Friendly reminder that part of the ethos of Beehaw is assuming good faith. I don't see in that response what you're accusing them of. These are tough times, but giving up our humanity and ability to connect with each other only worsens the problem.
I found some success with psilocybin. For about six months, life seemed manageable again.
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!
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.
I was running my college newsroom for the 2000 election. I called up an editorial cartoonist at 2 a.m., having already blown deadline by two hours (it would be four by the time we got the flats to the printer), to provide the main art for A1. It remains the only time I have run an editorial cartoon out front.
As these things go, the art I requested was of Gore holding up a paper with a hed of "Bush Wins" (because we were upstyle back in the Dewey/Truman days). Then went with a dek of "Florida holds the Keys" ... we finally put the paper to bed at 4 a.m., went out to a 24-hour diner, as was customary, and when we got back to the U-District, the major papers were out.
USA Today (McNews) went with "Florida holds the key," completely missing how to use that reference. That was the morning I decided to drop out of college and fix this shit. Oh, the irony that I'd later work in automation for Gannett against their wishes (you can't tell my team that they suddenly need to produce 33% more pages per hour and expect me to not start coding).
Now that I've vomited irrelevant verbal diarrhea, the answer is we never had a chance. The system doesn't like people enjoying their lives, it's just rent-seeking.
