joy is, in many cases, not actually easy. joy is a discipline. we should grieve, and we should get angry, but we should also cling to the Good. every day has at least one spot of joy that you can claw out of it and smuggle away in your pocket. this is what it means to not let sorrow take you.

Wild and fascinating threads and replies on serotonin and the gut here
the destruction of all the happy lil guys in my gut, both by the c. diff itself and by the antibiotics, was so much more of a nightmare for my mental health than, theoretically, my years of actual depression. incredible stuff.

Here's one of the main reasons why I'm 100% sure AI is in a bubble, regardless of any potential "success" it has in the next 6-12 months.
Right now the majority of AI "success" at scale has been found in AI coding tools for software engineers.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social has repeatedly observed that the MAGA feminine aesthetic, instead of aiming for a coherent beauty heuristic, is meant *only* to signal female willingness to self-subjugate to a male desire.
The outcome needn’t be “attractive”, it need only say “I’m willing to do this”.

Disgusting. Monstrous.
Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.
