True.

I believe it to be true. How about you?

We are living in the upside down.

At Least Two Newspapers Syndicated AI Garbage Slop the presses.

This is disappointing to me because it makes me think about how much money I could make if I didn’t bother with the pesky ethics

An infographic titled “Stages of Mania in Bipolar I–II” from “one impossible thing at a time” by Luke Steuber. It is divided into five sections, each describing a different stage of mania, accompanied by blue and yellow illustrations. 1. Euthymia (yellow background): Quote: “Is this happiness? Is my bipolar cured?” • Stable phase called “normal.” • Responsible, focused, confident. • Worries about depression, may delay tasks. • Often diagnosed as cyclothymia. Illustration: Person holding balanced scales. 2. Hypomania (blue background): Quote: “Sorry to ghost you! I swear it won’t happen again!” • Easier social interactions, active on social media. • Starts projects like writing a business plan, overspending. • Rapid profile picture changes. • Thoughts speeding up. • Considered the limit of Bipolar II. Illustration: Person raising a hand with a light bulb above, standing in front of a crowd. 3. Mania (Manic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “I’m not manic, listen, I think we can sell this.” • No need to eat, drink, or sleep. • Starts many projects impulsively. • Makes others uncomfortable. • Experiences “time dilation.” • Hypersexual, emotional, dehydrated. Illustration: Crowned figure standing above a group of smaller figures. 4. Mania (Mixed Episode) (blue background): Quote: “Maybe if I finish this one last thing I will matter.” • Energetic yet deeply sad. • Risk for substance abuse and self-harm. • Associated with creativity. • Quick but fixated thoughts. Illustration: Person surrounded by icons of droplets, flames, and hearts, representing intense emotions. 5. Psychosis (Psychotic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “No time to discuss mania; bugs in the mattress.” • Psychosis is a state, not a condition. • More common in formal thought disorders. • Most likely in Bipolar I mania. • Important to have a plan; warn emergency services if necessary. Illustration: Person with question marks over their head and bugs around them.

A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs!

I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃

🙌 thank you carry on

Maybe he can’t be bought because he’s *already* been bought?

I *loved* writing essays in college. Unfortunately, a few professors stopped assigning them due to plagiarism. Worse, they assigned group projects instead, forcing you to work with some of the lazy, cheating mfs who ruined things in the first place. Looks like chat bots have made it that much worse.

Watching helplessly but not hopelessly from Canada. I hope they can get in touch with all these voters in time!

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Great question

I mean correlation doesn’t necessarily prove cause, but it often points in that direction….

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Today’s action:

Tell your Senators to line up behind Sen. Booker to take his place & read constituent messages about how people being hurt by what is happening & refuse to confirm another person or pass anything in support of this regime until DOGE is dismantled & all court orders followed.

Wow. I’m beginning to think that they realize their policies are unsustainable and figure killing off a large part of the population would be helpful. In that regard, the first pandemic would have been only a partial success, and Kennedy might be here to finish the job.

Unless of course they’re MAGA protesters (January 6ers).

Incompetent man baby incoming.

When Carney makes a campaign promise, he fully understands the math behind it to keep the promise.

When Poilievre makes a promise, he’s pulling it out of his ass just like Harper did.

I’m so willing to bet that it was someone—like one of those in the pentagon who warned about the vulnerabilities of Signal—who got the reporter added to the group. I seriously doubt that was “a mistake” but rather, an act of bravery and patriotism.

Total fucking hypocrites. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…

There would be bipartisan calls for investigations

Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion

Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day

Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

No notes.

But…Hillary’s emails! The level of hypocrisy, cruelty, corruption, and—most of all—incompetence in this administration is fucking stunning.
