@CilvisNova @omgsidewalks I believe my issues began after receiving the 2nd COVID shot. But, let's say you're correct, and it is bipolar 2, what is the remedy/cure for that?

@kronic_jack @omgsidewalks You're likely thinking of mania associated with bipolar 1. Bipolar 2 mania is much less intense, and largely results in me doing things like cleaning my room or getting out of bed on time

A therapist once told me: The first sign of declining mental health isn't always a panic attack or sudden tears. It starts quietly. Waking up tired after hours of sleep. Gut issues. Low energy. Feeling lost. Struggling to fall asleep. Forgetting things. Hair loss. Skin flare-ups. Muscle aches.Pulling away from people. Arguing with the ones you love. Not being able to get out of bed. Watching friendships fade. Your body whispers before it screams. There's still time to listen.

@CilvisNova @omgsidewalks I'm familiar, but that's not what I experience. I don't become manic on the good days, I just become normal. At peace, as though executive functioning returns and I'm able to act with conviction and be decisive and proactive throughout the day as opposed to lethargic

@kronic_jack @omgsidewalks Are you familiar with bipolar depression? Manic high episodes can last anywhere from a couple hours to a few days before going back to a depressive state

@45PedroMartinez It took my brain roughly one month to return to normal after that series. Made me question my relationship with sports altogether. That kind of heartache should only be reserved for the loss of a loved one, not a damn game!!

Even if you were cheering for the Dodgers or the Blue Jays last November, we all walked away satisfied because it was the best World Series I’ve ever witnessed. Everyone played the game the right way. It was great baseball. It’s just a shame that only one team could win. #mlbontbs

@WrestleOps Am I the only one who likes that they did this? It's literally like, the only interesting thing to happen in WWE in months. People are still talking about it. That's the goal, isn't it? I genuinely don't get why people's panties are in a bunch

Pat McAfee says the internet wrestling community are apart of the problem with how the current product is: “These IWC dipshits have no idea, this is for the good of them. They have no idea what they’ve been missing, they have no idea what it’s supposed to look like…now we changing. The IWC are not the biggest fans of what happened, they’re pretty upset about it. But they are apart of the problem, they are the ones that said ‘yeah this is what it’s supposed to be all this stuff,’ it’s like nah let us show you what it’s supposed to be. It’s a very important pivotal moment in the history of the business.” (via @PatMcAfeeShow)

@mc_khristina It's pretty simple, actually. The things you mentioned are easily recyclable, whereas thin plastic bags aren't. We've had the plastic bag ban in Vancouver BC for like 5-6 years now, not a single complaint. Paper straws too, again, not a single complaint.

So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy … a pound of sliced turkey in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment? 🙄😂

@RELurker @SykesCharlie @Timodc @SarahLongwell25 No one is saying anyone should "cozy up" to him. Like, go in there and debate the guy and tell him why his past comments are so offensive. People grow and change. But no one has ever grown or changed by having others look down upon them and tell them they're bad human beings

@SykesCharlie @Timodc trying is correct about Ossoff not spending energy on purity test… but @SarahLongwell25 is obviously correct on overall strategy. Trying to reach youngsters intrigued by fringe is worthwhile but cozying up to freaks is unnecessary and counterproductive. Feels simple.

Not all Never Trumpers.

@SykesCharlie No one's talking about allying or embracing, they're talking about *engaging.* Jesus Christ, is it really that hard to distinguish? The guy has a regular audience of like 2-3 million young people. What should democrats do, shun them and tell them they're bad? Such a stupid debate

@felixprehn Most classic American thing I've ever read. Everything is a grift. Nothing is easy. It's all purposefully made to be as headache-inducing as possible, and only by paying up can one have it the easy way. It's honestly insane. When will people finally get fed up and fight back?

The IRS already has every number it needs to file your taxes for you. It has your W-2. It has your 1099s. It has your bank interest. It has your mortgage interest. It has everything. In most developed countries, the government fills out your tax return and sends it to you for review. You confirm or adjust. It takes minutes. It costs nothing. In the United States, you are required to calculate numbers the government already knows, report them back to the government on forms the government designed, using software sold to you by private companies that spent decades lobbying to keep it this way. Intuit, the company that makes TurboTax, spent $3.72 million on federal lobbying in 2024, a record for the company. In the first quarter of 2025, they spent another $1.2 million, their largest quarterly spend ever. They also donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Their target: killing the IRS Direct File program, a free tool that launched in 2024 and allowed millions of Americans in 25 states to file directly with the IRS at zero cost. It worked. The program is being shut down. For more than 20 years, Intuit has waged what ProPublica described as a "sophisticated, sometimes covert war" to prevent the government from making tax filing free. Internal company presentations used the term "encroachment" to describe any government initiative that would make filing easier. The IRS once agreed not to develop its own filing system as long as private companies offered a free option for simple returns. Intuit then hid its free filing page from search engines using HTML code that blocked Google from indexing it. The FTC sued Intuit for this practice. Intuit settled with 50 state attorneys general for $141 million after being found to have steered eligible taxpayers away from free options and into paid products. A simulated filing by Senator Warren's office found that a taxpayer who qualified for free filing would end up paying $128 through TurboTax after being upsold multiple times during the process. The same filing through Direct File: $0. Americans spend approximately $35 billion per year on tax preparation services. Intuit alone generates over $16 billion in annual revenue, with its consumer tax division representing the largest segment. Intuit (INTU) trades at roughly 35x forward earnings with 80%+ gross margins on its consumer tax products. Revenue has grown at approximately 13% annually. The tax prep business is a recurring annual obligation that every American adult must fulfill. The addressable market doesn't shrink. Complexity in the tax code creates demand. Lobbying against simplification protects the moat. The stock has compounded at approximately 20% annually over the past decade. I'm not recommending Intuit as an investment. I'm pointing out that the system you find frustrating every April exists because it's extraordinarily profitable for the companies that maintain it. And they've been paying to keep it that way for twenty years. I'm hosting a once in a lifetime webinar where I go over the exact things I know as a former banker and world class investor. It's 100% free to join, sign up with the link in my bio.

@USronaldcarter Give me a goddamn break, man. He did it because he thought it would be like Venezuela, and that he'd go down in the history books as having defeated two of America's biggest enemies within a matter of days and all the glory would be his for all time. It's literally that simple

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently. "Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting." Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%. He chose to act knowing his own base would split. He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help. He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike. A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage." Read that again. Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@TheoVon @joerogan He was being passive aggressive and derisive in a very, very subtle way toward you. I think you noticed, but you're just too kind and humble to admit it.

People are taking stuff out of context and thats not fair. Joe and i were having a convo abt getting off antidepressants prior and this is after that. Joe has been supportive on and off mic abt my well-being, like any friend would, and im grateful. Thanks @joerogan for having me

@WrestleOps 🙄🙄🙄. I have never rolled my eyes harder at a tweet in my entire life. Yea, I'm sure it was all a shoot.

Cody Rhodes promo responding to Randy Orton and Pat McAfee’s attack earlier in the night was not listed internally on the planned rundown for the show. There is a belief that some of Rhodes' comments were him shooting about TKO having inserted McAfee into the story. (via PWlnsider)

@SykesCharlie Ok, I've seen enough. The algorithm is *definitely* turning up the dial on this and fucking with people. It's happening right before our eyes in real time. If you take a step back, you can literally watch it do it's thing and enrage people

You want this guy at Dem campaign rallies?

@wrestletaleszay I came out despising Rhodes even more. Two weeks from WrestleMania, after having gotten his ass handed to him week after week by Orton, the guy arrives on Smackdown for a fight, and he shows up wearing...a three piece suit?! How about some sneakers and a tank top, for a change 🙄

🚨 I'm setting aside my hatred of Cody Rhodes for this one moment. After everybody fucked everything up, Cody came out and put the main event of Wrestlemania entirely on his shoulders and sold it like his life depended on it. That's what REAL wrestlers do. Roman wouldn't have done this. The Rock wouldn't have done this. #Smackdown

@keithdorejel No one is lecturing you, or anyone. They're having a conversation amongst each other. Whether you watch or not is up to you.

I love lifelong Republicans lecturing us about who we should and should not allow in the Dem coalition.

@conman167 There is no saving it. WrestleMania only works if the foundation is laid before it, week after week on Raw's and Smackdown's. The work put into the storylines is what makes the matches meaningful. None of that was done this year, therefore, it can't be saved.

Genuine question. How would YOU “save” this years WrestleMania? Share what must happen at the show, what matches need to be added / changed, what certain feuds need etc. * I’ll be reading these out in tomorrow’s video. Your username will be shown on screen. *

@WalshFreedom @SykesCharlie @RoKhanna Have you ever listened to any of Pikers stuff? Like, actually listened? Or have you only read what others have said about him, or what others have plucked from his streams and quoted him saying? I can almost guarantee you, if you were to press play on his stuff, you'd calm down

Hey @RoKhanna, I have no interest in CANCELING anyone. But I believe in CONDEMNING anyone who praises Communist dictators, hates on America, is anti-Israel, and hates on Jews. To call Hasan Piker an “anti-establishment” voice and ignore the hate he spews is just wrong. I’m all about a “broad pro-democracy coalition,” but I draw a line at bigots & antisemites…you know, people like Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Hasan Piker.

@SarahLongwell25 @Timodc nowhere near as crazy as everyone is making him out to be. He's basically every liberal in college right now, but less woke-y. But if I hadn't watched some of his stuff, and only read what everyone else is saying about him, I'd think he was the next coming of Hitler too. Its nuts

@SarahLongwell25 @Timodc I don't like Hasan, but his views are definitely being caricatured to death at the moment. He's said some outlandish shit to people watching his streams on twitch, sure, which is an app primarily for gamers and isn't exactly conducive to politically correct speech, but he's

This is The Bulwark. We don’t all think one thing! I think Tim is wrong on Hasan Piker, so we hashed it out. Listen to us work through it in a format much more conducive to a productive discussion than Twitter dunks.

@LordLochFergus @WhickTv You're right. They do excise people. It's just that it's usually for not being extreme enough lol

@kronic_jack @WhickTv They do excise people

We don't want to become like MAGA. That is a fail state. Hasan is not 'anti Israel' he is Anti AMERICA. What are YOU doing? This is madness. If we want to win, we have to excise our extremists. The first party to effectively do so wins by a lot for a long time.
