  • Wow… Indiewire should find someone who reads their own site to proofread their articles.

    If you click on Jeff Bezos’s name, it links to other articles mentioning him, like the 2021 article saying that he would step down as CEO of Amazon in 2022, which is what happened. Yet this 2025 article refers to him as “Amazon CEO”.

    Sure, he still owns a lot of Amazon stock and nobody knows who Andy Jassy is, but getting facts that that wrong is pretty ridiculous.


  • My PCP got me to do an online questionnaire through ADHD Online.

    He thought it was quackery until the pandemic essentially forced him to try sending people down that route. He now trusts the results (and finds it way quicker + cheaper than a referral to an in-state specialist). Basically, your questionnaire takes the place of an in-person interview and gets assessed by a doctor in a low-population state. (I think mine was reviewed by a doctor in North Dakota or something.) I think it was about $90 (out of pocket).

    Based on that I was diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

    I followed up with my PCP, who got me on a low grade antidepressant. I don’t feel depressed or anxious anymore, and it’s helped me turn my ADHD into a superpower. (My brain is still all over the place, but I have the confidence to weaponize it.) I’m definitely one of the lucky ones, but that’s the journey I took.


  • As an Ontarian who was drinking in Belgium in high school, came home for university, moved to Europe for a few years, then moved to the US, I have to say “What?!”

    Everywhere else that I’ve lived has had a far better selection and prices. Also, as someone who doesn’t drive and lived in Toronto in my 20s, walking 30 minutes to the nearest Beer Store (I lived at Yonge and Eglinton) and carrying a 2-4 back home in the winter sucked. Everywhere else I’ve lived, I can buy beer a block away.
