This is the situation in a trench during Ukraine's fight against a Russian attack.
There are two things:
The platoon leader knows when to hold out and when to launch a counter-attack at the right moment, personally directing his men.
In 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a tiny amount of LSD through his fingertips and spent the afternoon mildly hallucinating at his desk. Three days later he accidentally took 10 times than the standard recreational dose.
He drank what he believed was a cautiously small dose, and unknowingly took ten times a modern recreational amount with no frame of reference whatsoever.
At precisely 4:20pm on April 19, Hofmann dissolved 250 micrograms in water and drank it.
By 5:00pm his lab journal entries were deteriorating. Dizziness. Anxiety. Visual disturbance. Writing became impossible.
He asked his assistant to take him home. Wartime Basel had banned private cars, so the only option was a bicycle.
He spent the ride convinced his neighbour was a witch and that he had gone permanently insane. April 19 is now celebrated annually as Bicycle Day.
Hofmann later discovered that 20 to 30 micrograms were sufficient for noticeable effects. He had taken more than twelve times that amount.
He lived to 102, took small doses for the rest of his life, and called LSD his "problem child." He never regretted discovering it.
Bryce Mitchell gives his thoughts on The UFC White House event:
“What I think, personally, is that our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is supposed to protect and serve the people.”
“When you’re doing all this stuff, hosting sporting events, it’s really outside what the goal of the government is intended to be because our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation.”

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what Kuwait International Airport actually means to your life..
because most people only think about the war..
Kuwait International Airport isn't just a military target.. it's the transit hub for over 1 million Indian workers in the Gulf.. it's the connection point for oil workers, expats, construction crews, nurses, and engineers who send money home every single month..
13 ballistic missiles and 17 drones hit Terminal 1 this morning..
1 person killed.. 63 wounded.. passengers and airport staff.. people who were just trying to get home..
and here's the part nobody's connecting..
this isn't a military base.. this isn't a weapons depot.. this is the building where you check your bags..
flights are suspended.. Terminal 1 is on fire.. and the smoke visible across Kuwait City is coming from the same terminal your family member landed in last year..
Iran has now hit Kuwait's airport twice in 2026.. the first time was the fuel tanks in April.. this time it was the passenger terminal itself..
the last time civilian airports became active war targets at this scale was the Gulf War in 1991.. it took years to rebuild the regional air network..
that was one war in one country.. we're now watching every Gulf hub get added to the target list at the same time..
in 1991 a single airport hit disrupted the Gulf for years.. nobody has a playbook for what hitting all of them does.
I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.
ptsd: something terrible happened to you.
complex ptsd: something terrible WAS your entire environment and you had to just live in it. there was no escape.
@Insanevidz_ Keep your hips low, and avoid allowing them to get your feet off the ground. Just hope they don’t have the strength to get you off the ground if you can’t do either of those.
THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
A White guy who gets famous writing a song about getting fucked over by the government only to then get fucked over by his wife, is a perfect microcosm of what it’s like to be a White man in America in 2026…
