#panic

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Sometimes I worry that I am going insane, and if I'll ever be able to live a normal #life.

I remind myself that it's only #panic and that by definition I was already a bit insane anyway.

I have several acronyms, and I've been in #mentalhealth treatment centers multiple times.

Nobody all there gets addicted to #drugs for most of their 20s, and needs meds to not panic 24/7.

Is being insane all that awful when I've never hurt anyone, and I see the #world beautifully?

There's A Big Commotion In Moscow

"Law enforcers panic to stop and search the trucks.

Truckers in Moscow and the Moscow region have begun to check trucks en masse amid the threat of new drone attacks. "

That looks a lot like panic.
The glorious Russian army is apparently unable to protect the capital Moscow from attacks.

Keep it up Ukraine this is the right way, bring the war home to Russia

Telling your major investors to 'shut up' when they are collectively standing, mouth agog, watching your antics crater their investment is pretty edgelord. Somebody either isn't sober enough to #panic, or they are aware that it's exactly the time to panic and are lashing out. What stunt does he try next to stem the bleeding this time? Every month now is a bloodbath for them on year-over-year sales.

CNBCElon Musk lashes out at Tesla bull Dan Ives over board proposals: 'Shut up'Dan Ives, an analyst and longtime fan of Tesla, was scolded by Elon Musk on Tuesday after posting three steps he said the company's board should take.

Democratic Assemblyman #Zohran #Mamdani’s mayoral primary victory in New York City
has prompted an #elite #panic, the likes of which we’ve rarely seen:
Billionaires are desperately seeking a general-election candidate to stop him,
former Barack Obama aides are publicly melting down,
corporate moguls are threatening a capital strike,
and CNBC has become a television forum for nervous breakdowns.
Meanwhile, Democratic elites who’ve spent a decade punching left are suddenly trying to align themselves with and take credit for Mamdani’s brand
(though not necessarily his agenda).
On the surface, this freak-out can seem as if it’s about policy.
Mamdani’s proposals for
free buses,
universal free child care,
faster small-business licensing,
higher taxes on the rich,
some publicly owned grocery stores,
a higher minimum wage,
and rent freezes
are indeed shocking to oligarchs conditioned to getting everything they want.
💥When you’re so accustomed to privilege, the most minimally humane policies for others can seem like oppression
— and Mamdani’s agenda probably feels that way to New York’s billionaires, CEOs, and neoliberals.
And yet, the intensity of the nervous breakdown over his win suggests this is about way more than one mayoral candidate’s important-but-hardly-radical agenda for a single metropolis.
🔥This is about power
— specifically, the power of money and establishment authority to control outcomes

Rolling Stone · Why the Oligarchy Fears Zohran MamdaniBy David Sirota

A vent piece I ended up drawing as a way to get some energy out after I was recently attacked by a dog at work. I'm still honestly blown away how many people ignored me when I went badly into shock afterwards. Really just breaks my heart because it used to be such a fun, friendly place to work, but just glad I'm leaving that place soon. Felt the piece was cool enough to share though.
