This is what it says: “He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery.“

Psychedelics for Anorexia?

It was also very special to speak with Francesca for the episode and hear about her experience with anorexia, and the breakthrough after taking psilocybin. My goal with that interview was to humanize anorexia for folks who aren't familiar. Francesca made my job easy open.spotify.com/episode/6UlV...

Psychedelics for Anorexia?

No medication has ever been approved to treat anorexia. And the standard of care - therapy - often fails. But researchers are hopeful that psilocybin-assisted therapy could change that. And the science that underpins that hope is honestly extremely interesting! open.spotify.com/episode/6UlV...

Psychedelics for Anorexia?

And that's big! So if you have the time this week, and you're able to listen, it would mean a lot to me. @scipsychedelics.bsky.social @prx.org 5/5

Listen, I don't know if psilocybin-assisted therapy will be the thing that fills the gap. But while learning about this treatment & speaking to a pediatrician who's running a clinical trial to treat severe anorexia, I felt hopeful about the possibility of better treatments for the first time. 4/5

This episode is also a personal one. I had anorexia in my early 20s. And although that part of my life has long been over, I wonder what recovery would have looked like if I'd had the support of a medication — something that could've jump-started the brain rewiring that's necessary in recovery 3/5

There's a lot that we still don't know, but early research shows promise. And that's a huge deal because there is still no medication that's approved to treat anorexia. So therapy, alone, is still the standard of care, and that often doesn't work. 2/5

Psychedelics for Anorexia?

Today's episode of Altered States is one I'm especially happy to share: it's about the increasing excitement that eating disorder researchers are feeling around the potential use of psilocybin-assisted therapy to treat anorexia 1/5

Trans News Initiative A database and analysis of news coverage affecting trans communities.

She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald’s. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter. Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for “companionship” with young women looking to make money. What followed would set off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of one of the men she would encounter, Representative Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon Musk. Now he’s mad online. Elon Musk is beefing with Joyce Carol Oates on social media, and it's hilariously strange.

ANYWAY if anyone wants a seasoned podcast host with years of video experience for their next "video podcast" --- I'm around lmao

and like... none of this is new. Rachel Maddow was putting out the audio of her talk show out on a podcast feed for like a decade before the practice became mainstream. That's how I accessed her show as a student back in Canada.

I realize that I'm fighting a battle I'll almost certainly lose, but I really do think we lose something when we dilute the audio space and begin to use the term "video podcasts" regularly.

Netflix Starts Bigger Push Into Video Podcasts The streamer has sent out dozens of requests to agents at WME, UTA and CAA for video podcast creators.

just a thought — maybe instead of "video podcasts"... you could just call them "talk shows"? Because that's really what these things are at this point.

(I say this as a person who has hosted multiple podcasts AND a TV talk show...)

But the police very soon had much bigger fish to fry, as out-of-state influencers swooped in to get in on the content-rich environs of the Portland ICE facility. On October 2nd, local police arrested Nick Sortor of Washington, DC, on suspicion of disorderly conduct. After Sortor was released the following morning, he told his 1.2 million followers on X that he had spoken to Attorney General Pam Bondi. (Bondi later opened an investigation into the Portland police.) Sortor, who was also invited to Trump’s roundtable on “antifa,” went on to publicly attack the Portland Police Bureau for being “Antifa-infiltrated,” an allegation that the Trump administration appears to be taking seriously — the word of an influencer being, apparently, much weightier than the thin blue line.

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.
