If you ever see me posting any takes on here that aren’t about neuropsychiatry or sexual health (and even in those cases) know that I likely am getting or recovering from a migraine and that (1) stops me from doing something else with my time (2) makes me perseverative and punchy with posting

So does Bolsonaro Jr go straight to the hospital now or

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Zoomer Judith Butler: Gender is LARP

NARRATIVE BUSTER: After months of anti-trans ads by Republicans, the latest ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll shows... Democrats have a +9 advantage on "transgender issues." abcnews.com/Politics/dem...

The thing about Jan Crawford’s “diatribe” and CNN’s “heated” is, we all could see the whole exchange with our own eyes, but it suggests they’ve fucked up a lot of coverage of things we couldn’t see.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

High school reunion today - a time where I for various reasons I was very working class Midwest“normcore” in appearance (and in fact actively didn’t want to draw attention to myself) while being weirdly into mysticism, nerdy as hell, and in retrospect clearly asexual

It’s so weird that Americans have a system that explicitly hurts entrepreneurialism (no universal health care) and we pretend it’s good for business

Once an older gay man marching in the Pride parade with me said in re: corporations in the parade said “it’s better than them killing us” and that stuck with me.

Democrats will never learn.

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I notice that everything the press doesn’t like is “social contagion” now, except for the escalating crankery of the press, which is an organisation of a couple of thousand people mostly concentrated in one city, who largely all know each other - one thing that definitely *is* social contagion.

10 for 10! Some may try to paint the City of Big Shoulders as something to fear, but the nation knows that this is the best big city in the nation — 10 years in a row.

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

AI is reversing the purpose of finding sources. Instead of reading sources and deciding what you think based on the information, people increasingly ask AI to provide sources that back up what they've already decided. There's no growth here. The sources don't inform or challenge.

As the world gets worse, I have no choice but to get even cooler

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

as always when this is posted, i have to fondly remember the time someone stole this tweet word for word, including using my name as the punchline, then claimed it was just independent discovery

The VA lost about 700 social workers and 500 psychologists and psychiatrists over the course of 2025 — a significant change for an agency that was adding mental health staffers nearly every month leading up to Trump’s return to office. (Published March)

“SI” means “suicidal ideation” in medical speak, including at VA (where suicide prevention is a major priority.) I’m sure that everyone at VA can’t wait to get emails about how we promote SI and are focused on the benefits of SI.

This is coming up Thursday. Please come out to the Oak Park Public Library, and bring questions about Cook County judicial elections and our guide to all those judges on your ballot. Looking forward to it.
