Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating.

Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT.

The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work.

For centuries, when harvests failed and hunger set in, societies looked for someone to blame—and too often, they chose women. Not in metaphor, but in flesh. In a world without climate science, where droughts or crop disease couldn’t be explained, fear demanded a scapegoat. And women—especially those who bled, aged, gave birth, or simply lived outside the bounds of obedience—were cast as the cause.

In early modern Europe, during times of environmental collapse like the Little Ice Age, this fear sharpened. Crops withered, winters dragged on, and instead of facing nature’s chaos, communities turned inward. Widows, midwives, healers, or women who simply spoke too much were accused of tampering with the natural world. A failed harvest wasn’t random—it was a sign of moral failure. And hunger demanded someone to punish.

Witch trials didn’t erupt in times of abundance—they followed famine, plague, and crisis. Women were blamed for ruining crops, killing livestock, even causing bad weather. Their “crimes” were often just being too visible, too sexual, too old, too independent. In some courts, a dream about a woman’s spirit damaging crops was enough to convict her. Her actual presence wasn’t even required.

Menstruation became a powerful symbol of this fear. Across cultures, menstrual blood was seen as poison—thought to ruin seeds, spoil wine, blight gardens. Farming manuals warned women not to touch plants during their cycle. Religious texts framed them as impure. Over time, this wasn’t just superstition—it became a system of control.

The cruelest irony? Women were blamed for what they couldn’t control, then pushed out of the very work that sustained their communities. If they helped in the fields, they were punished. If they didn’t, they were called lazy. The logic trapped them either way.

At its core, this wasn’t about crops—it was about power. Regulating women’s bodies became a way to manage fear. And even though the witch trials ended, the logic behind them didn’t vanish. We still see it today, when women are blamed for decline, disorder, or change.

I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than watch the upcoming film about Melania Trump’s life — which Melania herself will be executive producing.

How about you?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

I can’t stop watching this asshole husband of a Republican Senator Deb Fischer who refused to shake hands with Vice President Kamala Harris today.

MAGA is classless even in victory.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The husband of a Republican senator just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris.

The level of class you can expect from MAGA.
