ME is incredible. a wordless musical apocalypse about how we’ve come to see everything and nothing besides ourselves. it’s so rare and rewarding how Don Hertzfeldt constantly iterates upon/deepens his vision without ever repeating himself. rent with confidence.

You have to respect Boris D Heifets's candour. His appraisal of some online ketamine prescribing trends: “It’s honestly a little fucked up.”

Retrospective uncontrolled real world study of ketamine for PTSD, flush with excitement at the size of their cohen’s d. These data sets would be much more useful if they included any safety data… did I miss it?
