And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
The next stop is Viet Nam

And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee, we're all gonna die

No, Synthetic Opioid Cychlorphine Has Not Proved Narcan β€œIneffective” - Filter A minor media frenzy has been forming around cychlorphine, a novel synthetic opioid described as the β€œnext killer drug” taking ...

"While there are some notable differences between cychlorphine and the various fentanyl analogs and nitazenes that have previously been the 'next killer drug,' in this case some of the warnings appear due to a mixup."

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

There was a futuristic tech movie called Existenz about an ultra-real VR rig where you just basically jump realities. At the end of the movie, the characters can't tell which reality is the real one; and the filmmakers disassociate the audience so they can't either. It was terrifying.

Little Help for Meth Addiction Why don't we have better treatment options for people addicted to meth? It's more complicated than you would think.

We do have a good treatment for meth addiction. It's called contingency management and the federal government limits it to $15 per day in their contracts.

People are using Ozempic to drink less. We already have FDA-approved drugs for that. People are using GLP-1s to cut back on alcohol use disorder, but there are already three FDA-approved drugs: naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram.

"Just 2% of Americans with an alcohol disorder diagnosis receive approved medications for treatment, says Dr. Lorenzo Leggio, a physician and scientist at the National Institutes of Health. By comparison, 85% of people diagnosed with diabetes get approved treatments for it."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Also Rx meds are usually not allotted for recreational use; cannabis straddles the line between Rx and recreational. Patients control their dosage and frequency. This irks not only clinicians, but the general public who often have a very paternalistic view of Rx meds.

This goes to the heart of drug use stigma - the puritanical shame of pleasure and substance use framed as self-indulgence; detox and confrontational, abstinence based treatment for SUD. Meds are stigmatized because of "potential for abuse". Enjoying meds is pathologized.

Landmark trial accusing social media companies of addicting children to their platforms begins Instagram’s parent company, Meta, and Google’s YouTube will face claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children.

Here we see "addicting" used as an active verb, as though it is something that one person can do to another. This is not how addiction works.

Tens of Thousands of Mothers Were Flagged to Police Over Flawed Drug Tests at Childbirth The Marshall Project found more than 70,000 cases referred to law enforcement over allegations of substance use during pregnancy β€” and that’s a significant undercount.

drug tests are not useful for detecting child abuse: they do far more harm than good when they result in parent/child separation, especially for marijuana drugs in blood and urine tell you little or nothing about behavior www.themarshallproject.org/2026/02/10/b...?

A digital illustration done in a black and white woodcut style similar to Totentanz images by Holbein and others. A skeleton wearing a jester-type cowl with two floppy horns with bells on the ends, and another garment around his shoulders and boots all decorated with bells. He his high stepping and playing some kind of flute. Black lines radiate out from behind him and a banner wraps around at his hips with the words β€˜maybe it will happen today’ on it.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.
