This is my favourite therapy exchange in TV history.

It’s the Sopranos. Tony and Carmela openly argue in front of Dr. Melfi.

Dr. Melfi: “You’re both very angry.”

Tony: “And you must have been at the top of your fucking class!”

What a brilliant review of #BabyReindeer by Dr. Aaron Balick 🍉 . The complexity of the show is far more reflective of real life than so much of what we see relating to trauma and harm on our tv

Through the portrayal of complicated elusive characters and by refusing neat resolutions to dark embedded dynamics, #BabyReindeer is a bit like therapy rendered through art.

Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams” is a treasure often given up on due to the interminably dry first chapter which is essentially a literature review.

I always encourage new readers to start with Chapter Two and the analysis of the dream of Irma’s Injection.

No. Twitter

But arguing with a Musk parody account will get you no further than arguing with the real thing.

Like the Iron Lady - but with even less charisma - the Musk is not for turning.

The death of Aeschylus is particularly shocking, especially for us bald folk (watch out ⁦Stuart Heritage⁩).
