The mammoth that makes it okay to be weird.
At the very least we should be finding the most talented and quirky mammoth to reanimate
Reanimating mammoths when we are still without David Bowie 😒

I understand why people are focusing on the, uh, considerable baggage of both people, but also, “let’s have Alan Dershowitz and Dana Loesch debate gun control” isn’t a bold or daring new idea, it’s what a Piers Morgan producer who fell into a glacier in 2013 would say upon being revived.

Those who stayed off Facebook and Instagram for a week reported noticeably lower levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and negative social comparison. So meta/facebook buried the study.

Meta shut down an internal study that linked Facebook use to worse mental health
Instead of publishing the findings or commissioning further research, Meta's leadership shut the project down. Internal correspondence, cited in a lawsuit brought by US school districts, reveals...

I remember watching it in the early 90s on cable and thinking, “I wonder if I lived Minnesota if some of those guys would be my friends.”
Many years late , I moved to Minnesota and now some of those guys are my friends.

The Netflix show The Beast In Me features a storyline about a real estate development called Jarvis Yards and a character named Martin Jarvis and I can’t help thinking he’s related to this guy.

Seeing a spate of Star Wars mentions on the feed and I can’t tell if that’s because of Star Wars news, a shared meme riff, or the ceaseless drone of Star Wars chatter we will all be plagued with until death mercifully rescues us.

I constantly see interesting, informed takes by a diverse array of smart people who are aware of the state of politics and culture as it is today.
Then I see a guy repeatedly being given a much larger, actually enormous platform apparently because he was good at a job he had in 1992.

Meta might have covered up research saying social media is bad for mental health.
Also, teenagers are using AI bots as therapists. Which is understandable. And it has DISASTROUS implications. Also, grimly, understandable.
But seriously, watch the dark chocolate ad in this (free!) newsletter.

It's not a matter of "Oh, people are miserable, too bad."
It's also the cost of your rent or mortgage.

We're in a mental health crisis in America. That's leading to more construction workers being incapacitated or dead by suicide. That makes construction costs higher. That makes housing more expensive.
Mental health crisis = everything crisis.

Mental health crisis in construction fuels workforce shortage, drives up costs
A deepening mental health crisis within the construction industry is not only harming workers, it’s also shrinking the workforce and driving up costs.

I've been really interested in Cotard's since hearing about it years ago. It seems like such an outlier that someone's mind would get to that point. It's also incredibly rare, very few documented cases ever. Esmé outlines the internal logic of it and how it presented for her.
Fascinating show this week. Esmé Weijun Wang is a brilliant writer who has experienced depression, psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and Cotard's delusion. That's where you believe that you're actually dead. She tells us what THAT'S like.
Our minds are amazing.

3 things.
1. Tim plays the same guy in most things he does: well-intentioned guy who CANNOT let things go.
2. The lines spoken by all the other characters sound like Tim wrote them and not like how anyone else in the world speaks.
3. I’m fine with all of it, love the show, huge Tim fan.

Still thinking about how my son sang “World’s oldest dog” to the tune of “Pink pony club” to his friend and ruined their whole week.
So proud.
Some dads are into sports trophies or prestigious schools but I’m me instead.

It’s like when guys in my high school opted for dressing like Simon LeBon or Bruce Dickinson.
This is the first time I’ve seen him wear something like this… I think it’s a knit scarf, but he probably didn’t have any turtleneck sweaters in his closet.
Gotta see if @dieworkwear.bsky.social weighed in.

First thought: Ew.
Second thought: Ugggghhh.
Third thought: How will this damage Lizza’s and Nuzzi’s lives and careers?
MUCH later thought: Will this damage RFK Jr’s life and career?
Followed by: Oh of course it won’t.
