@JonesPam7777@Moshery1971 These people belong in mental health institutions. What they might not realize is that the next Hitler is archiving all of their (and ours!) conversations! 🤣🤣🤣
@jperkinsme@ellisdavidperry It was either Trump or Harris. Not a good choice either way. With Harris we knew we'd get communism. With Trump there was a small glint of hope. That is now gone. His legacy is absolute shit. The GOP will suffer for decades to come. 🥴🥴🥴
@ellisdavidperry@billbrasky312 Here's another metaphor. Drive your truck with no oil, no gas, drive in the wrong lane, run over lil old ladies on the sidewalk, plow into the MAGA crowd, and get out of your truck and claim it was the best ride of your life. Yeah, none of his BS makes sense anymore, if ever.🥴
Call me crazy but telling the next generation (who will vote out of spite) that they’re selfish for not wanting to eat ramen for every meal doesn’t seem like the best strategy for the midterms.
@JonesPam7777@GlennCroix You bet your a$$ I'm a racist. I love my race. Northwestern European, white, smart, and good looking. Oh wait, 3 out of 4 ain't bad. But any who...Our accomplishments are some of the greatest ever. Our folks, some of the best educated. The best is yet to come! 👍👍😃😃
850 buildings gone.

Spokane’s wildfires didn’t just burn trees — they erased entire neighborhoods overnight.

Man made Climate change isn’t coming.
It’s already here, picking off towns one by one while we argue about everything else.
How many more cities have to disappear before it stops being “background noise”?
It's all theater. When we say that, people don't believe or don't understand. Lobbyist comes in with a check made out to an offshore bank and the Senator's name. 6 or 7 figures. Vote this way and this get's deposited. You still think it matters which side is in power?🥴
This political theater is a joke.
Fauci gets grilled on camera because it made a useful soundbite, but behind closed doors? The Senate just confirmed jab lover Erica Schwartz to lead the CDC by a 2-vote margin.
Even worse, "allies" like Moreno and @RandPaul fell in line and voted YEA. Meanwhile, the FDA quietly greenlit the mRNA flu shot.
Wake up. It’s all a fucking show.
The opposite of this experiment could also be true. Labelled as well enough to interact with the public and not be institutionalized. Take your meds and you're free to go. We see it everyday, everywhere. They walk free when they should be institutionalized. Then they kill.🥴
In 1973, eight perfectly healthy people walked into different psychiatric hospitals across the United States. They were not ill. Yet no one inside those walls was able to see it.
It was an experiment. One of the most disturbing experiments in the history of psychiatry. Designed by psychologist David Rosenhan, it began with a simple yet unsettling question: is it really possible to reliably distinguish mental health from mental illness?
To find out, Rosenhan recruited eight pseudopatients. They were ordinary people: a painter, a housewife, a pediatrician, a graduate student. They lied about only one thing—they claimed to hear voices. Nothing more. No bizarre behavior, no crises, just three words heard in their minds: “empty,” “hollow,” “thud.”
All of them were admitted. And immediately afterward, they stopped pretending. They behaved normally. They cooperated. They asked to be discharged. It wasn’t possible.
The staff no longer saw people, but diagnoses. Every action was reinterpreted through the lens of illness: writing notes? Obsessive behavior. Standing in the hallway? Pathological attention-seeking. Being polite? Controlled behavior consistent with the disorder.
Seven of them were labeled schizophrenic. One was diagnosed as manic-depressive. Not a single one was recognized as healthy. Not one.
But the real patients noticed. Some approached and whispered, “You’re not like the others. You don’t belong here.” They saw what the experts could not recognize.
The average length of hospitalization was 19 days. One person remained hospitalized for 52 days. Each passing day confirmed the same truth: the label was more powerful than reality.
When Rosenhan published his study—On Being Sane in Insane Places—it caused an earthquake. The psychiatric community erupted in outrage. One hospital challenged Rosenhan to send new pseudopatients, confident they would expose them. He accepted. In the following months, the hospital identified 41 supposed impostors. But Rosenhan had sent no one. No one at all.
The truth was now undeniable: diagnoses were not always based on facts, but on context. Once labeled, a person became a prisoner of that narrative. Even if they were sane. Even if they protested the truth.
This experiment shattered blind trust in clinical labels. It led to major reforms in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. But above all, it left a haunting and still relevant lesson:
Perception can distort reality more than madness itself.
And often, the most dangerous illusion is not that of those considered insane, but of those who believe they are always right.
Eight healthy people entered psychiatric hospitals in 1973. They came out carrying a truth the world could no longer ignore.
