Kast won the presidential elections here. The far-right guy.
[...] rash of diagnostic claims and self-labeling that have swept the internet and mass-market publishing, creating a space where confessional zeal and memeified pseudoscience – sometimes abetted by therapists who should know better – have become almost routine.

"I shall be advancing the heretical notion that trauma as we now understand it is not a timeless phenomenon that has affected people in different cultures and at different times in much the same way, but is to a hitherto unacknowledged extent a function of modernity in all its shocking suddenness."
Another big one is the "#DIDTok" trend, in which TikTok (and increasingly Instagram) users feign Dissociative Identity Disorders, often claiming "Systems" of literary or pop cultural characters. A whole subculture inside this subculture "hosts" alters related to Naruto, Harry Potter, or Dune.
""Recent global popularity of social media content about dissociative identity disorder (DID) has coincided with increased self-diagnosis among children and young people who have formed large online communities and presented in clinical settings seeking to affirm their self-diagnoses."

This development is not unique to DID; it has been documented in relation to other psychological conditions, including tic disorders, autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorders (BPD). DID self-diagnosis based on social media information has been the subject of extensive media commentary, but relatively little published clinical writing to date.

In Chicago they mix their cheesey popcorn with their sweet popcorn and brag about it a lot HOWEVER if you want to make it classy get the caramel corn but serve it with little slices of real sharp cheddar cheese.
Forget the cheese powder.
You are welcome.
I... hmm. I don't know if that would be as good[1] as the classic mix.
[1] for very specific meaning of "good"
Oh interesting. Kiddo got popcorn at an event over the weekend. Thought the cheese/carmel mix was unusual, didn't realize it was a Chicago "thing." Didn't catch the label though.
It's made it to San Francisco theaters.

I was thinking about the hippy, flower child, free love, anti establishment days this morning. How some of those people ended up right leaning as old people I can't understand.
In my opinion we all need to find our groovy again and shame on the people who would deny us peace just because they can.
I am working hard to get my body in a better place so I walked again this morning. I walked up the hill at the #HumboldtBotanicalGardens twice. Forty minutes of keeping my heart rate up. I am motivated. Lots of things rely on me staying healthy.
I took a couple of groovy photos.
Peace.
