Bengals DC Al Golden says players-only meeting following loss to Jets underscores 'sense of urgency' https://www.nfl.com/news/bengals-dc-al-golden-says-players-only-meeting-following-loss-to-jets-underscores-sense-…

Elizabeth Warren here — Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan told me I could reach out, because this is important. 
Peggy is the partner I need to get things done in the Senate,
that’s why I have officially endorsed her campaign.
I know she will be a champion for Minnesotans in Congress. 
Can you please pitch in $5 or anything you can to help power her campaign?
I’ll explain more below about why this is such a critical race.

Peggy Flanagan for Minnesota | Democrat for U.S. Senate
Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan's ready to take our Minnesota values to D.C. — to fight to rebuild the middle class, protect our rights, and hold the extremist billionaires trying to run off with our country accountable. If elected, she’ll be the first Native American woman to ever serve in the U.S. Senate. Will you join us in this Minnesotan-powered campaign?

Really silly dream
I had a really silly #dream recently. I dreamt that my CFL broke. Or more specifically, it kept trying to turn out, successive parts of it were lighting up, then it all went off and tried again. And it looked like it had a bunch of cuts across it, and around these cuts little thunder sparks started appearing, like some kind of STALKER-like anomaly.
I finally flipped the switch, but the anomaly remained, and I wanted to get rid of it in case the sparks could jump onto my hardware and damage something. So I threw a metal bowl towards it, supposing the thunder would jump onto it. While it was flying near the anomaly, it slowed down and started turning back like a boomerang. On top of that, pieces of cat food (don't ask me why I threw a full bowl) were getting out of it and staying in the air levitating. When the bowl reached the floor and started turning again, Mr Ek came close to it and started levitating himself; he was sitting a few centimeters above the floor.
In the middle of all this, I've figured out I should record it. I took a bunch of photos with my phone, before I managed to switch to recording video.
Once I've recorded the fascinating flying bowls and levitating cat food, I needed to go back to discharging the thing. I threw a second metal bowl, and that one started levitating as well. I've figured out that's stupid, and I've found some big ass hammer with a metal end and a wooden handle. I held the end near the lamp to charge it, then tried to find something to discharge it to. I've tried some small stuff like the door handle, but obviously that wasn't sufficient. Finally, I've figured out to use the electricity box, since it is grounded. I held the hammer to it, watching sparks light the semi-darkness; I've recorded that as well.
And that's how much of it I remember.

Tiny sugars in the brain disrupt emotional circuits, fueling depression
Depression is a serious disorder that disrupts daily life through lethargy, sleep disturbance, and social withdrawal, and also increases the risk of suicide. The number of depression patients has steadily increased over the years, affecting more than 280 million people worldwide as of 2025. Now, researchers have uncovered a new pathological mechanism that could provide clues for the diagnosis and treatment of depression.

I am flummoxed at this sign next to a parking lot for a walking trail. I thought this could be just superfluous quotes, but... it's a parking lot? Then I just thought, do they mean no making out after dark? #scandlous

Feeling very relaxed. Scrolling Mastodon while listening to Christie Moore. The back door is open and cool air is wafting in. I'm sipping a glass of icy cold pink Moscato. Nice.

The indictment of former F.B.I. director, James B. Comey
was just two pages long and contained so little detail that it was hard for legal experts to assess its merits.
Some former government lawyers, as well as prominent Democrats, said the case appeared so flimsy that it was likely to fail.
Some Republicans also expressed concerns
