I am the fellow who dies of a cancer that could have been caught on time if I hadn't picked Middle English just to see what would happen.

If you read one article about what the Democrats might do if they take control of Congress, it should be this one
(And make sure to click the links 😏)
From me @NRO, with a frightening warning to voters:
A List of Things Democrats Might Do If They Retake Power

Be glad that the Left opposes the death penalty -- you will not like the Left that embraces it

Congress can pressure the president to stand down in Iran by doing what it usually does best: nothing, writes @GeneHealy. buff.ly/S1cfMb2

Come on, Congress.
Just sit there.

Forcing the Pentagon to cannibalize tens of billions of its own money to pay for the Iran War? Through simple congressional neglect?
A diabolically on-the-nose proposal from Gene.

It speaks to the strangeness of our culture, that when I just now saw a dude sitting on a park bench doing absolutely nothing except smiling and looking around, I thought to myself "hell yeah brother"

I love how optimization culture has reframed and destroyed “fun” and leisurely drug use. Referring to hippyflipping as difficult psychological work comes across as profound to the kind of person who is incapable of having a good time, living in a biohacked prison they built
MDMA plus high-dose psilocybin was the hardest psychological work Andrew Huberman has ever done.
He is explicit: no one should try this without clinical support, and many people should not take these compounds at all. He has only done the combination twice.
MDMA first created the empathogen effect that made difficult material approachable. Psilocybin alone at four to five grams of dried mushrooms had been terrifying and physically harsh.
Together, the MDMA allowed him to stay with the hardest childhood material instead of pushing it away. He also reported no typical post-MDMA drop.
Both compounds increase neuroplasticity in different ways, MDMA primarily through elevated serotonin and oxytocin systems, psilocybin through 5-HT2A receptor activation, which may explain why the sequence felt uniquely intense and why the usual comedown was absent.
Huberman has a rare ability to describe extreme personal experiences with precision, honesty, and strong caveats. That combination is what makes his accounts trustworthy.
It’s a little worse for the wear—can’t stand up on its own anymore—but years ago, my dear departed mother haggled with a guy at a local liquor store and slipped him a few bucks so that when the promotion ended, I could have a giant cardboard Big Pussy. RIP Vincent Pastore.
