This fall, Americans got to see what it’s like to go without a safety net for the hungry.
With the U.S. government shut down for multiple weeks
and Donald Trump refusing to fund SNAP, the federal food stamp program,
a panic set inamong the more than 40 million people who rely on it.
Families skipped meals,
and babies went unfed.
Food banks ran out of food, and some people turned to dumpster diving.
It was just a glimpse of what’s to come.

Also in Asterisk: an interesting article about the history of the DSM-5, and its critics.
> The psychoanalyst Nancy McWilliams captures this concern with unusual clarity in her 2021 essay “Diagnosis and Its Discontents.” She reflects on a shift that began with the release of DSM-III, when psychiatry embraced a more descriptive, symptom-based diagnostic model. The change, she notes, quietly restructured how people speak about themselves in therapy. Once, a client might enter the roo…

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

Donald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“If any ordinary person filed as many frivolous multibillion-dollar lawsuits as Donald Trump, they’d be sanctioned and placed on a restricted filers list.
By my count, Trump has demanded at least $65 billion in damages from media outlets i…
