can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

If I may dril for a moment, you absolutely do not have to give Trump “credit” for anything, ever. The saying does not go “even a broken clock hires its own gestapo”

If you think that Signal is an op and totally backdoored, my recommendation is that you should plan all of your crimes over Telegram group chat.

Shout out to all the small town protesters out there.
There is no anonymity in a tiny town. No strength in numbers or hiding in a crowd. When you stand up for democracy in a small town, EVERYONE knows. Y'all are brave as hell. #NoKings

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

I recently opened my Paramount+ account with the intention of canceling the service due to fascism. When I clicked on the cancel button, the service offered me two free months, which will be enough time for me to see all the new episodes of SNW before actually canceling. Just mentioning bc reasons.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

As someone who worked in kitchens and wrote about food for 15 years, state vs state comparisons are worthless. Chefs move from places and set up shop other places. Is all Texas BBQ good? No. Are all California fish tacos good? No. Who gives af. You can find good eats everywhere. Don't be a dick.
It's time to sling some mud ... or potato salad.
This California city is better barbecue town than any in Texas, says ranking
