Anyway, I’m pretty tired of spending every day agonizing over the state of the evidence base in therapy/how little we know about active ingredients & how that makes me feel like a fraud practicing/teaching. I’ll just go find answers from the Divine Masters and levitating gurus or whatever the fuck

I can’t even imagine hearing myself blabber for the next 3 hours (teach a class) to 17 people who paid a lot for that and I’m at least trying to say things that are based on fact and on the general message of being kind to people

I mean, I guess to be fair the rich and powerful have always been certifiably insane and wrapped up in various cults, but having modern understandings available to you and choosing…. This… is intolerable. Also at least peasants didn’t have to know the exact ways the king was insane

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

You simply have to read this @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social joint and not just because there's way more levitation in it than you would think possible. The Archangel Michael is also somehow involved www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

James Fallon is not worthy of what Hayley Williams put on his stage last night. God, the way he stomps on the moment after the song ended was an atrocity

Day 8 - Suitable Flesh (2023). Strange vibes. My wife described it as "I felt like I was watching Charmed" and that kind of tracks. Which is an odd vibe for Lovecraft? Also at one point Heather Graham says "Patient-client privilege" so that was funny to me, specifically

She was really funny but also very good in the dramatic scene in ways child actors basically never are

Day 7 - The Black Phone (2021). Not really sure how there’s going to be a sequel? I think I liked this less than other people do but it’s ok. Madeleine McGraw gives a pretty fun child acting performance

Dog, we’re treating the presidency like one of those memory care facilities they dress up to look like a normal small town

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

not to skate over the dumb homophobia here but there’s this bizarre delusion in America that cities (people living close together for communal and economic reasons, a mode of living as old as civilization) are unnatural while suburbs (hermetic sprawl invented circa 1950) are natural

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“
