“Regardless of party or ideology, men are so much more tolerant than women that the gender tolerance gap dominates the ideology difference.”

RIP Peter Watkins. 👑 While La Commune, Culloden, and Punishment Park will get the most name checks today (for good reason), for me it was always most about his most pop film, Privilege, and his least pop film, Resan (The Journey).

This is exciting...5-MeO-DMT just got FDA breakthrough designation for treatment resistant depression. 193 ppl with moderate-to-severe depression 38 sites 6 countries Patients received either 12 mg (n=73), 8 mg (n=46), or a low-dose comparator of 0.3 mg (n=74), which served as a placebo control. Efficacy Findings + at day 29 post-dosing, a single 12 mg dose reduced depression scores by 11.1 points (MADRS scale 0-60), compared to a 5.8-point reduction with the low 0.3 mg dose. + the 8 mg dose demonstrated equivalent efficacy, suggesting its potential sufficiency for therapeutic benefit. + effects of both 12 mg and 8 mg therapeutic doses were statistically significant compared to the low 0.3 mg dose, starting two days after treatment and peaking at 29 days post-treatment. + both 12 mg and 8 mg single doses exhibited durable effects, with mean depression score reductions of 10.2 and 10.8 points, respectively. Both were significantly greater than the 5.2-point reduction observed with the low 0.3 mg dose. Safety Findings + 5-MeO-DMT was well tolerated at all doses, with over 99% of adverse effects being mild or moderate and no serious adverse effects reported. + dose related increases in nausea, headache, blood pressure, and anxiety suggest the 8 mg dose was better tolerated than the 12 mg dose. + no suicide-related safety signals or concerns were observed. + most treated patients were deemed ready to go home within 90 minutes of treatment Findings from the phase 2a open-label study, using 12 mg and 8 mg doses spaced two weeks apart, showed similar results. These included a rapid decrease in depression score by day 2, maximal improvement at day 22, with a durable effect lasting over 12 weeks of follow-up.

Bernie Sanders, well-known fascist
Bernie Sanders: "If you don't have any borders, then you don't have a nation… Trump did a better job. I don't like Trump, but we should have a secure border. And it ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it… We should have a secure border. Period."

When people marvel at Shakespeare or Beethoven, they're really marveling at their own thoughts and dreams, which the artist has evoked.
