I’ve seen similar advice from therapists for negative or self-harm thoughts. They’re advised to consider that niggling voice an active speaker, who they can then choose to disregard.

Because I think what’s interesting is there’s more research actually showing that anxiety is a kind of gateway almost; researchers are realizing that things like depression, bipolar disorder, various anxiety disorders—they often start as anxiety.

I really enjoyed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. I had played the original three games and was getting tired of the series.

One of my PMs was attending a meeting with some higher up folks at our company. I don’t know if it was entirely about the game, but somehow a lot of the serious discussion centered on South Park: The Fractured But Whole and its expected launch last year.

There were a handful last year, including California, South Carolina, and I believe at least one in New York. I’d point out, however, that the people killed in those incidents were overwhelmingly disabled (in many cases, mentally ill).

I have gotten so much use out of this today!

I thought that you were joking, but you were not:

The picture is supposedly of the moment of the assault:

He’s not.

This was absolutely my thought. Since ICE appeared at the school, many people are going to be worried. Students could be taken out of class, parents/guardians could be arrested for showing up.

I like their friendship, but I also really love seeing Brian and Arnold together.

Season 2 has been brilliant. I watched the initial season a month or so ago on a whim, and it does pick up after a while. I think that what I really like is that there are different perspectives being showcased and that the show occasionally delves into the lives of incidental characters (many of whom are one-off)…
