Two weeks of taking Strattera now. I do feel some positive focusing effects, but I also get some deep exhaustion and other symptoms. I'll try it for another week or two and see if some of these negative symptoms go away.

Has anyone I know tried the medication Strattera (or atomoxetine?)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomoxe...

It's supposed to help with ADHD. I tried it for a couple days with mixed effect, some good, some not so good.

It works on the neurotransmitter norepinephrine

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Imagine what a terrible person you need to be to plan out how to slowly introduce more and more violence into American society. Truly evil and poisonous.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 5h

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

VERY glad the hostages are home & Gazan families are spared further bombings & starvation. Hopefully Israel will release water & fuel supply & and meds for hospitals. But who will rebuild? I fear Trump, Bibi & Kushner aim to turn this peace deal into a real estate venture ,

Did Fox News decide to do something helpful for a change?

I just created a new email folder called "to maybe maybe do" and I'm moving some of the emails from "to maybe do" there.
It feels like a solid innovation.

“When it inevitably comes time for Stanford to choose, we must remember that we owe our loyalty not to any executive branch official but to our own foundational principles. We must be ready, when it’s our turn, to walk away.”

Historical perspective on getting rid of and avoiding demagogues in America

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 18h

Among the reasons Americans risked it all to get rid of a tyrannical king:
“He has obstructed the Admin of Justice…made Judges dependent on his Will…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…kept among us Standing Armies w/o legislatures’ Consent” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-we-sh...

Better late than never, but this guy played an important role in getting Trump elected.

It does look like an interesting contribution. I recall Nancy Cartwright wrote about how some systems may be quantum and some classical in a way more complex than we've so far imagined. Also interesting to see how classical gravity could help, maybe connected to Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR theory?

This showed up on my skyline a few hours before I gave up searching for a new TV because all there's available is TV models with embbed AI that I have no idea what's for and makes it at least 30% more expensive

I rewatch the first episode of Star Trek DS9 and feel a sort of pride and optimism in America. I have to hope that the deeper, honorable vision and promise of America will triumph over these dishonorable imposters who claim to represent our country.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Amazing that Chicagoans can host a marathon safely, in a city that is a "war zone" and requires military intervention.

Strong work, Chicago! ✊

probably the masked unidentified ICE folks are aware that they would be unpopular with their friends and neighbors if they were publicly identified.
They are bounty hunters and it a shameful way to make a living.
If you know one, shame them.
And tell their mothers.
