Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans and the world will continue without you.

So live a little.

[tern @1goodtern]

You couldn't make this up.
If you plotted this in a movie or TV show it would seem too ridiculous and unsubtle.

I bet doing coke with Billy mays was a blast.

You run out at 3 am and he just looks up at you smiling “but wait there’s more!” He whispers as he pulls out an oxyclean tub full of Columbian bambam.

Lincoln was a babyface in the North, but had nuclear heat down South as a heel. He was eventually elevated to booker. When he refused to drop the title, creative brought in John Wilkes Booth, a known shooter.

Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives.

Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht.

Some look 25.
Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware.

Nobody got the same assignment.

What. The. Fuck?

Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?

Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

Is this why I don’t stop until I’m so tired I have to lay down and sleep everyday?

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up.

He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour.

Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself.

Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it.

Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows.

Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result.

Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing.

The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

as an oldtro0n, some advice to younger friends:

you can “be responsible”, “save up”, “not abuse alcohol”, or whatever, but nothing will ever hit the same as being 20 years old, close to blackout drunk on cheap beer absolutely ripping a gallon and a half of piss in a public space

[Mike Singer @MikeTSinger]

This made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
