A facebook post from May 9 on the page "Anchoring Hope for Mental Health: Jeremy & Bailey Koch" The post says: The paperwork to approve TMS treatments for Jeremy's mental health battle will be submitted today. We spent over an hour going through every aspect of our 16 year journey of ups, downs, failures, fears, and celebrations related to Hottie Hubby's suicidal ideations, attempts, and hospitalizations. We feel heard, seen, and supported. We feel confident TMS in Kearney at Serene Mental Health is where we are being led. Please pray for insurance approval and that we can get started ASAP. Thank you!
From watching someone descend into psychosis who happened to use AI, I think it’s probably because AI is constantly affirming when their loved ones are challenging their delusions. AI is unconditionally fawning over them, which exacerbates a manic state. This guy thought he would be president and was going to successfully sue Google on his own, pro se, and AI was like, “Wow, I got you Mr. President! You need help tweaking that motion, king?!” Everyone else was like, “Um you need to be 5150’d.” Far less sexy.
Abstract Do clashes between ideologies reflect policy differences or something more fundamental? The present research suggests they reflect core psychological differences such that liberals express compassion toward less structured and more encompassing entities (i.e., universalism), whereas conservatives express compassion toward more well-defined and less encompassing entities (i.e., parochialism). Here we report seven studies illustrating universalist versus parochial differences in compassion. Studies 1a-1c show that liberals, relative to conservatives, express greater moral concern toward friends relative to family, and the world relative to the nation. Studies 2a-2b demonstrate these universalist versus parochial preferences extend toward simple shapes depicted as proxies for loose versus tight social circles. Using stimuli devoid of political relevance demonstrates that the universalist-parochialist distinction does not simply reflect differing policy preferences. Studies 3a-3b indicate these universalist versus parochial tendencies extend to humans versus nonhumans more generally, demonstrating the breadth of these psychological differences.
Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph. It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naive to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.

Video of a woman carrying a heavy body shaped package while walking on a treadmill. Text says “When I started ‘princess carry challenge’ I didn’t have natural disasters in mind. But now every time it gains traction, I know it’s because something horrible has happened. I am just a woman in her living room, carrying heavy things for personal reasons. Stay safe, make friends with your neighbours, carry each other” Music is AURORA’s The Seed aka “you cannot eat money”

Dogs Milei is the owner of five English Mastiffs, with Conan serving as the progenitor; Conan died in 2017 after suffering from spinal cancer.[37][38][292] He considers Conan his son and has named four of Conan's six clones, including one named after the original and another named Angelito,[299] Milton (in honor of Milton Friedman), Murray (in honor of Murray Rothbard), Robert, and Lucas (both named after Robert Lucas).[300][301] To do this, he went to a clinic in the United States; the process cost him about $50,000.[292] He has described his dogs as four-legged children and thanked them after his 2023 primaries win.[48]
"Everyone should be aware of Michael Farris and his influence on the Christian right," said R.L. Stollar, a children's rights advocate who was home-schooled and has long warned of the conservative home-schooling movement's political goals. "To Farris's credit, he is really good at what he does. He is really good at taking these more extreme positions and presenting them as if they are something that would just be based on common sense."
