Photograph of a large black cow with white markings on her belly, legs, and forehead. She is standing in front of a forest with hay on the ground below her and on top of her broad back.She is looking at the camera with her tongue slightly protruding from her mouth.

Cows are much bigger than most people suppose. At 6' tall and about 2,000 pounds, 19 year-old Bella eats a LOT of hay. Visit tinyurl.com/vine-hay to buy her a bale today!

Why does stress drive psychopathology & transdiagnostic disease?

We present the Allostatic Triage Model of Psychopathology (ATP Model), which explains stress-induced transdiagnostic disease pathogenesis through a bioenergetic lens.

Stress is metabolically expensive & all biology depends on finite energy resources, especially the CNS, which is the most expensive tissue in the body and has limited access to metabolic resources.

Hot off the press!

What if life runs like an electrical circuit?

Drs. Picard & Murugan’s “Energy Resistance Principle” (via MitoWorld’s Dane Wolf) proposes that our health depends on keeping energy flow in balance — a “goldilocks zone” of resistance powering every cell.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

What #spotifywrapped tells me is people either haven't listened or have just chosen to ignore the facts artists who were essential to the platform are underpaid, the CEO invests in AI war machines, the submitted content is used to train LLMs, and they ran adverts for ICE the modern day brownshirts.

Standards have been lowered to the floor. They have a bunch of unqualified misfits and unhinged weirdos they are rushing through an abbreviated academy so they can get them weapons and gear and out onto the streets ASAP. What could go wrong?

Is anyone in the Republican Party ever going to hold anyone accountable for anything?

Rep. Jim Himes after being briefed by Adm. Bradley:

"What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. You have two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who are killed by the United States."

Spotify: Wrapped in complicity

Social media feeds are full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped, but Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops helping ICE terrorize our communities. app.sosha.ai/s/OE9hd3ZF

It’s not your grandmother’s Jeopardy.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.
