The weird part of having aphantasia is navigating a world where visual memory is assumed to be universal. It's not hard or difficult, but it does trip me up sometimes.
Aphantasia explained: When your mind works differently - For most people, memories come with a vivid mental picture: the face of a friend, the layout of a childhood home, the colours of a sunset. For others, those pictures simply don’t exist.

The supreme irony here may be that the Canadian populist politician Poilievre gained support by blaming Trudeau for high food prices while at the same time having his campaign run by a top Loblaws consultant. I am filling out a form right now to get $50 from a Loblaws bread price-fixing settlement.

A share of 77 million people voted for this.
Polling in July said that 47% would not shift their vote if Trump were directly implicated in Epstein's crimes. Taking that number at face value gives us around 36 million people voted for this.
Young Republican voters are WAY less down with pedophilia.

Perhaps the Nukes are the answer…the humanity experiment seems to have failed.
So I had worked for a Serbian guy who mentioned rich people would come and pay big money to hunt humans and I thought “crazy- nah”. But now … even though it’s the NY Post, based on actual Serbian people who had told me this… it looks like the “human safari” hunts were real.
