I envy families who love sports and watch them together instead of spending hours debating what to do. Spacing out on football and eating nachos sounds like heaven

The rage bait has been taken, swallowed, digested. Rage is the sacrament of a church that’s lost its tether to the divine, a cleansing ritual that no longer cleanses but leads only to more rage, the ceaseless desire for the next hit.

If July was Post-Paranoia, August is the breakdown of appetite. The Ozempic Era. What do you do when the bloodlust you think you’re resisting, but secretly crave, spills over because you can’t stomach any more?
