Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

ഗുരു വിശ്വ്വേട്ടൻ: നോം 50 വയസു വരെ വനത്തിൽ ആദിവാസികളെ സേവിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു മക്കളേ.. അപ്പോ ഹിമാലയം? അത് 40 വരെ. അപ്പോ അമേരിക്ക, ബുള്ളറ്റ് ട്രെയിൻ, ഡിജിറ്റൽ ക്യാം, ഈമെയിൽ? അത് 30 വരെ. അപ്പോ അഖണ്ഡ രാഷ്ട്രതന്ത്രബിരുദം? അത് 20 വരെ. അപ്പോ ചായപ്പീട്യ? അത് 10 വരെ. അപ്പോ മുതല? അത് 5 വരെ. അപ്പോ.. ഒന്ന് പോ ചെക്കാ, ലിമിറ്റ് തീർന്ന്! #ഗുരുമനസിൽകള്ളമില്ല

My sister thinks the ghost of a woman who off'd herself 3 weeks ago is haunting my house because a toy key unlocked itself and started making noises (midnight, while I was looking at it). I’ve been living with schizophrenia for decades. Ma’am, we have an entire paranormal department already n place.

I got so emotional today when I realised I’d come down two sizes. Shopping for clothes used to make me genuinely depressed, so standing there and realising I could fit into a smaller size felt like a tiny, deeply personal victory.

My OCD plays the same game. OCD: "Did you turn the oven off?" Me: "Yes. We checked 3 times." OCD: "Is that smoke I can smell?" Me: "No. Fuck off." OCD: "Okay. Just wondering..." Me: "Fuck. All right. One more time." OCD: "Hmm. Just *one* more time, huh?" Me: "Sigh." [puts down book, again😄]

Always a trifle bothered by how movies portray people opening the front door immediately after the bell rings. Who are these fully dressed psychopaths lying in wait to lunge? Takes me at least five minutes of frantic scrambling for a modicum of couth and cloth just to avoid outraging public decency.

One thing I've stopped tolerating is disrespect. I don't care if you're family, a friend or a stranger. I'm no longer going to stay quiet just to keep someone else comfortable. If protecting your feelings requires me to abandon my self-respect, that's a trade I'm no longer willing to make.

My cats have never been cuddly. They love me, but mostly from a respectful distance. The only time they tolerate snuggles is during winter, when I'm essentially a heated blanket. My mum's cat is staying with me now & she curls up beside me, asks to be held & melts into every hug. I needed this.

I spent days convinced my husband would come home to a botanical and aquatic crime scene. He walked in, took one look, and said, "I expected worse." I'm relieved... but also deeply curious about what level of destruction he thought I was capable of.

My husband comes home tonight. In his absence, I've managed to kill several plants and one assassin snail. I'm not sure if I should greet him at the door or just hand him a list of the casualties.

I know I should go to the hospital. But every time I think about explaining my symptoms to three different people, my body decides lying down is actually a valid treatment plan.

🧦🧶 Socks 17 of 2026 - Cuff club inspired Socks The pink is Symfonie Terra Handdyed yarn from Knitpro. This is the only other sock yarn available here in India. I think I don't like superwash yarn much. I wish there were more colour options available in my staple sock yarn 😬 #knitsky

🧦🧶 I went rogue on this one - grey cuff, brown heel and pink toe. Inspiration from cuff club and Summer Lee+ deep Shadow Heel by Ysolda and Dip stitch from Fir Rib socks - I am mixing and matching all sock knitting lessons 😎 #knitsky

My husband is out of town and handed me responsibility of two living ecosystems he is passionate about, plants and aquarium, despite years of evidence that I barely manage myself. An ambitious choice on his part.

Once, I asked for a Durex mattress instead of a Duroflex mattress. Today, I said "handjob" instead of "handmade." At this point, every conversation is just an improv exercise with potentially devastating consequences.

Dentist: I've never had a wisdom tooth case this complicated. Me, lying there unable to speak: 👍🙂👍 Internally: WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THAT NOW?
