New essay in @the_rumpus. "Awkward Intimacy" is about what psychiatry doesn't treat: the loneliness that makes us sicker. Dogs, Grindr, a father with Parkinson's, fourteen months in jail and a state hospital—and the two people inside the institution who understood that connection is the mechanism.

If you listen closely when Clancy speaks of the dreams he has when his children return to him, you can hear a soft off-camera sob by @douthat60. There was no journalist better prepared, spiritually and morally, to do this interview. He's going to quickly become a treasure at "60"

I love the Andor / Rogue One joke in last season’s Abbott Elementary 😭

Quinta has talked about loving Andor when season 1 came out too!

Harvard kids singing Radiohead’s “Creep.”

This could have gone very wrong.

Then the lead singer opens his mouth.

The Harvard Veritones have won at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — the real-world competition that inspired Pitch Perfect.

Turn the sound on for this one.

AI therapy will never misunderstand you, get impatient, or ask anything of you in return. That frictionlessness may feel good but ultimately prevent you from healing. From @patrickwkelly https://t.co/uFgBRVVfH0

夜中の3時、誰にも言えない不安をAIチャットに打ち明けたこと、ありませんか？🌙

Psychology Todayに、AIセラピーをめぐる考えさせられる記事が掲載されていました。MITの心理学者シェリー・タークル氏は、AIが提供するものを『偽りの共感（pretend empathy）』と呼んでいます。

▶ 記事の要点を整理すると

✅ AIセラピーの臨床試験では、うつや不安の症状に一定の軽減が確認されたとの報告あり。ただし効果は約2週間・軽度〜中等度のケースに限定
✅ デジタルメンタルヘルスへの投資は年間20億ドル超に急拡大。米FDAは産後うつ向けCBTプログラムなどに『画期的デバイス』指定を付与
✅ 英国NHSは、対面セラピーの待機患者にAIチャットボットを案内する試験も
✅ 一方で、スタンフォードの研究者が関わり1億2400万ドルを調達した最も臨床的に厳格なプラットフォーム『Woebot』は、2025年6月に消費者向けアプリを終了。規制対応の遅さとユーザー離脱が原因とされ、規制の緩いサービスばかりが伸びている状況
✅ 背景には深刻な供給不足：米国では成人の5人に1人が心の不調を抱え、その半数は治療を受けられないという現実

💡 記事が指摘する核心はここです。

チャットボットは決してあなたを誤解しないし、何も要求しない。でも著者は『癒やしには摩擦が必要』だと言います。互いに弱さを見せ合うこと、誤解されるリスク、そして継続的にそばにいてくれる存在。その『摩擦のなさ』こそがAIセラピーの売りであり、同時に限界なのだと。

つまりAIは「入口」としては価値がある一方、人に知られること・関わることのコストを完全に代替はできない、という視点ですね。

▶ 私たちの生活にどう活かすか

1️⃣ AIツールは『眠れない夜の応急処置』と割り切って使う
2️⃣ 深い不調が続くときは、摩擦を恐れず人（専門家・友人）とつながる
3️⃣ 運動・睡眠・サウナなど、自分なりのリセット習慣を平常時から積み上げておく

ストレスケアって特別な一手より、日々の小さなルーティンの積み重ねが土台になると思います。続けられる形に落とし込めるかどうかが、結局いちばんの分かれ目な気がします😌

テクノロジーとの付き合い方も含めて、心と体の整え方をこれからも発信していきます。気になった方はぜひ今後の投稿もチェックしてみてください🐈

hear, hear! bye bye gramps mcenroe, who can't seem to bother to learn even the pronunciation of a player's name.

Enjoying the @andyroddick commentary on ESPN so far but then that's no surprise. One of the most insightful and quick-witted players I have covered in nearly 40 years of doing this. He also -- dare we dream -- seems to understand the power of silence in his work with @cbfowler #Tennis commentary needs a revival of less-is-more

Do you ever think about how a reality TV show 25 years ago set out to find the best pop singer in America and actually found the best singer in America?

The most honest thing a friend ever told me was that he finds life more enjoyable high. The least honest thing was the shrug that came after, like that sentence didn't just describe a crisis.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

I had friends who designed their daily schedules around when they get to smoke weed. They also insisted they weren't addicted, yet treated being high as their default mental state and sobriety as an unbearable condition to be escaped from whenever possible.

That sounds... like a pretty hardcore addiction bro.
