@Hopingflower @JDaviesPhD I respond to psychiatrists that call me an “anti psychiatrist” by saying “I’m anti bad psychiatry. Aren’t you?”

@JDaviesPhD Mainstream psychiatry cannot discuss openly anymore. They hide behind fake outrage and slurs like “anti-psychiatry”

Awais has blocked me, yet still tweets about my posts. If he disagrees with what I’m saying, I’d much rather he engaged directly in civil, open debate rather than commenting from behind a block.

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1. Opening Day at UCLA? I was sitting the bench. 😭 I had 2 choices: 1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches OR 2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable. So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench. I showed up early. Stayed late. Cheered for my teammates. Dragged the field every 3rd inning. Meanwhile, I studied the team. The middle infielders were doing well. Third base wasn’t. So I told the coaches: “I can play third.” Then I noticed something else: Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out. I saw the gap. If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team… I could create value. Then we played Miami. The starting third baseman was hitting .115. They gave me a shot. I went 2 for 3 with a walk. Played solid defense. Brought energy. I never sat the bench again. Eventually, I became team captain… and we were ranked #1 in the country. One thing baseball taught me: Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player. Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.

@Rozewicz @joannamoncrieff Depression is not a “disorder”. It is a human reaction to loss and is best helped relationally through psychosocial and milieu interventions. SSRIs and other antidepressants are basically numbing agents with multiple negative effects and have proven to be of limited effectiveness

I can understand this is a difficult time for my psychiatry colleagues. I am sure they all have good intentions, but it turns out that the most widely used psychiatric treatment, antidepressants, causes significant iatrogenic effects (e.g. severe withdrawal reactions, PSSD), is not very effective (at best) and does not target an underlying biological abnormality after all. Although many people still seek a psychiatric diagnosis and a medical approach, increasing numbers highlight how misleading and disabling this approach can be. Their voices are starting to be heard, and we need to work with them to provide help for people who have been harmed by psychiatric treatment, and to prevent more harm being done. Trying to shoot the messenger doesn’t help anyone.

@Tarasworld21 @gtconway3d I have given IQ tests. I'd estimate Trump to be in the mid to high 80s. GW Bush is closer to average (100) than 143! There is no way he is in that high a percentile. The only thing in his favor intelligence wise is he is smarter than Trump.

That's for diagnosing Alzheimer's, what a decaying brain idiot🙄And the MRI he was given in his Oct exam at Walter Reed was likely searching for indicators tracking progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and damage from TIA's. Two Alzheimer's Impairment Assessments in 1 yr is very telling. He is by far the stupidest POTUS in our history🤨and no doubt he cheated to get this score!

Gary Beban was back on campus Saturday to watch UCLA's football scrimmage, and the only Heisman Trophy winner in school history saw something familiar ... a situation that reminded him of his sophomore team from 1965 that went on to win the Rose Bowl. nypost.com/2026/04/19/spo…

@gorams77 @calpostbbolch Wasn’t Cronin. All of Cronin’s players are coming back. Mara was tampered with. 3 Michigan starters were committed to other schools and May contacted them during a period when not supposed to. NCAA is investigating but doesn’t do us any good

@Lee713ruwin @calpostbbolch Fuck Dusty May. He tampered with Mara and two other top players after all were committed to their schools. Mara had committed to come back and May offered more money and a job for a family member. He’s a snake

Back in the Sweet 16 for a fourth consecutive season, UCLA is in familiar territory. But the Bruins have something new this time around--their most complete, savvy team and one that's capable of going all the way. nypost.com/2026/03/26/spo…

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

If Donovan Dent and Tyler Bilodeau return as expected, UCLA could be on the verge of peaking at just the right time as it tries to forge a deep NCAA Tournament run. nypost.com/2026/03/17/spo…

@markbeme @calpostbbolch I thought they were only doing that w a double digit lead w about 10 min left. Shortening the game and Dent was controlling the tempo. Often scored at the end of the shot clock. We weren’t shooting well or would have won more easily. Hopefully shooting returns tomorrow…

Feels like UCLA reverted to a just-gonna-show-up-and-win vibe in first half, which makes you wonder if this team will ever fully lock in for an extended run.

@FreedomAus80100 @Rightanglenews @LoveCharmGrace No. It’s Trump supporters who are gullible pushovers. You do know that was Irans own money from sanctions being returned. And we are spending countless billions in another quagmire that is to cover up Trumps pedophilia.
