Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

I'm pretty happy with Podcini, it's FOSS and does all I need
Also supports importing lists of podcasts, though I'm not sure it does patreon feeds at all, you'd have to check

have you heard of medical marijuana

could probably unironically help you reduce your dosage but don't expect miracles obviously. Try vaping some herb, maybe it helps. If you don't wanna get high, try pure CBD strains.

lemons are great for this. You don't need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you'll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)

in addition to just getting off earlier, you can also try to filter some of the blue light / glare from your screens towards the evening. The most popular sunset simulation redshift thingy is probably flux and I recommend giving it a shot. Might help you get tired more easily

It's not a magic bullet or anything, but I find it relaxing for my eyes at least and it might help your sleep too

hoplophobia

michael-laugh

talk about medicalizing/pathologizing your political enemies

In 1997, Cooper wrote that he coined the term hoplophobia in 1962 "in response to a perceived need for a word to describe a mental aberration consisting of an unreasoning terror of gadgetry, specifically, weapons."

In 1991, Cooper wrote in Guns & Ammo magazine that "no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition." In 1994, Cooper said "Los Angeles and Ho Chi Minh City have declared themselves sister cities. It makes sense: they are both Third World metropolises formerly occupied by Americans."

This video has the tea on Indian fascism.

Hindutva is a sort of restoration project of the caste system (largely financed and steered by members of historically elite castes) and it has been going since Scientific Racism times

Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation (1976) by Joseph Weizenbaum displays the author's ambivalence towards computer technology and lays out the case that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions because computers will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom.

Weizenbaum makes the crucial distinction between deciding and choosing. Deciding is a computational activity, something that can ultimately be programmed. It is the capacity to choose that ultimately makes one a human being. Choice, however, is the product of judgment, not calculation. Comprehensive human judgment is able to include non-mathematical factors such as emotions. Judgment can compare apples and oranges, and can do so without quantifying each fruit type and then reductively quantifying each to factors necessary for mathematical comparison.

The invasive species is one concept among many inculcated by capitalist ideology, sublimating our intertwined social and ecological crises, transforming them into problems amenable to various kinds of security regimes. From border walls to fish dams, from militarized police departments to invasive species eradication campaigns, the capitalist state can only do so much to tamp down the mounting symptoms of an economic order at war with the planet’s ecology, and therefore its own survival. Consigned to leaving the roots untouched—that is, to ensure the reproduction of capitalism at all costs—the masters of humankind are vigorously pruning the branches that support their own weight.
