"While my intention had been simple ... the mushrooms had other plans."

Some of you have been wondering why I was at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver this week (see previous post). Here’s why: probably the most vulnerable essay I’ve ever written, about one of the most transformative experiences I’ve had. Out now in HuffPost: www.huffpost.com/entry/psiloc...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

French nuclear power plant has to close during intense heat wave, because temperatures in the river that provides cooling water are too high.
EDF shuts down Golftech nuclear plant due to high river temperature
French utility EDF said it shut down the No. 1 reactor at the Golftech nuclear power plant in southwestern France late on Sunday, ahead of an anticipated rise in the temperature of the Garonne river that supplies the plant's cooling water.
