Soyons utopistes, demandons le possible.
"... interdisons la publicité en ligne !"
"Les réseaux sociaux seraient addictifs et dangereux pour les enfants nous dit-on ? Évidemment qu'ils le sont, personne n'en doute, et d'ailleurs ils sont dangereux et addictifs pour les adultes tout autant."

There's a conversation happening right now about loneliness as a driver of depression, anxiety, and substance use — and I keep thinking about how long this truth has been sitting in plain sight. The substance is the coping mechanism. The loneliness is the wound. We keep treating the coping mechanism and wondering why the wound doesn't close. Connection is the medicine. Not metaphorically. Literally.

Beautifully filmed, interesting and entertaining nature documentary about why various animals are seeking out consumption of hallucinogenics and why some species are coping better than others...

Geraldine’s Gobby Gambling 🎰 [Sponsored Post]
Welcome to Geraldine’s Gobby Gambling. Hi. I’m Geraldine. I run Geraldine’s Gobby Gambling where you can come and gamble your life savings away like God intended.
I set up this establishment on a shoestring budget but it don’t show. So. Come on down. Have fun. Play the slots and drink and gamble and get into fights. I run this establishment, me. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Gambling and Rambling at Geraldine’s
First thing you’ll know about when you step into my gambling shop is that this gambling shot got sticky carpets. Not sure when that happened because we only opened six weeks ago and that carpet were brand new and now its gone all gross and stuff and it’s ruined me pumps. I went for a proper aggressive 1970s geometric carpet with high-traffic patches down down to the bare plywood complete with damp underlay. It’s mandatory for gambling shops. But why is it sticky?!?
Anyway, yeah, you’ll also notice the many signs I’ve nailed all over the gaff:
- Stop tapping the glass
- NO! The fruit machine ISN’T rigged!!
- No change given without purchase
- I don’t know why the carpet is sticky
- NO REFUNDS
We have five bouncers on the door too because I am not having no nonsense on the doors or in my store. You hear? We open at 10am and then we close at 1am. If you are still in the property by 1:01am then the bouncers are legally obliged to start smacking you around the head with heavy furniture and their fists. You have been warned.
Mainly I just want you to come here and spend your money and fritter away whatever paltry savings you have got on stupid sports events. So long as I can line my pockets I do not care where you are at to be honest. But if you speak to me nicely in the store and I am not too drunk or whatever, then you might get a smile out of me.
Try and Have Some Fun at the Lukewarm Bar Here at Geraldine’s Gobby Gambling
Okay we done and got a bar here as well and it has drinks in it so if you want a drink while you’re gambling away your life’s savings then we do that. The bar is called Lukewarm because we have got this problem with the fridges and freezers and we haven’t got no ice so that means all the drinks are at room temperature except during winter because when it is naturally that cold the drinks are a bit chillier (we have not got no heating by the way).
Some of the drinks we got on our drinks menu is like this:
- Lukewarm beer from tap
- Lukewarm beer from cans
- Lukewarm cokes
- Lukewarm spirts
- Lukewarm wine (red and white)
- Lambrini (lukewarm)
So, again, just to reiterate, we don’t got fridges installed so bring your own ice in a bucket or something if you want stuff to be chilled. Heating it stuck on 40 degrees at the moment so yeah you might want to bring ice. Otherwise everything will be lukewarm because, as previously indicated, we got problems with the fridges and ice box and all that. Yes it is a bit rank but what am I supposed to do? Just drink your drinks and shut up.

Cock o’clock.
But watching wasn’t the same as acting. So I’d watch.
The brain sure knows how to manipulate. I knew what it was doing, but I was still bound to this blind yet compelling force.

Arturo Béjar spent six years working on Meta's child safety tools, but didn't fully understand the threats posed to young users until his daughter started using Instagram. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/20/tech/ex-meta-daughter-prey-instagram/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #markzuckerberg #meta #facebook #instagram #whatsapp #socialmedia #mentalhealth #addiction

The part of your brain that makes good decisions is the part trauma damages most. And we keep telling people to "just use willpower."
That's not ignorance. That's cruelty dressed as common sense.
But neuroplasticity means the brain can rewire. The brain that adapted to survive can adapt to heal. #Recovery #Neuroscience #Addiction #InnerPeace -
“All our neighbors worked for those firms — Facebook, Google and Apple. None of them would let their children interact with any screens,” Ms. Fath said. “They all knew how addicting they were and how to protect their own children.”

Alcohol: No amount of drinking is healthy!
Brad Pitt just started drinking again. The media, probably sponsored by the alcohol industry, is promoting the idea that resuming drinking alcohol might not be so bad.
This is insidious #propaganda !
If you are an #alcoholic , stay strong! Do NOT drink.
I am proud of you for staying sober.I was not an alcoholic, and didn’t drink much. I had a drink, and then quit drinking, on a whim, 3 years ago. Now I feel no urge to drink. As a surprising side-effect, my thinking has improved, a lot! I want to stay smart.
