Sugary Drinks Linked to 34% Increase in Anxiety, Researchers Say A new study has linked sugar-sweetened beverage intake to symptoms of anxiety in young people. High intake of sugary drinks is associated with a 34% increased risk of anxiety in adolescents.

That said - I *do certainly hope that psychiatrists are checking in on whole health questions like this before prescribing meds. Theyre doing that - right?

... Right?

Somatic Healing Requires Conditions that Capitalism Doesnโ€™t Allow You to Have That's not an accident.

I've been following Ailey Jolie since her beginning years and she just keeps getting more and more real and badass.

The crush is real.

Someone who deeply makes the connection between psyche and soma and capitalism as pathology?

Recreational ecstasy use is linked to lasting memory impairments A new systematic review suggests that recreational ecstasy users suffer from verbal memory impairments that do not improve even after months or years of quitting the drug.

Major harm reduction heads up ๐Ÿšจ

My thoughts are that while these studies are often in isolation I'm sure there are quite a few avenues of neuroplastic/supplemental support that should be explored and encouraged, but that's another topic.

Well no - the other parties have got their shit together for the most part. That's the point. The Cons rallied lockstep behind PP. We have floor crossing for the Libs. Meanwhile the NDP continue to poll the lowest they ever have. This is what I mean, we need a bold democratic socialist vision.

News Release 10-Feb-2026
Long COVID linked to Alzheimerโ€™s disease mechanisms
Diseases cause damage in some of the same ways

Peer-Reviewed Publication
NYU Langone Health / NYU Grossman School of Medicine

The increased size of, and lesser blood supply to, a key brain structure in patients with Long COVID tracks with known blood markers of Alzheimerโ€™s disease and greater levels of dementia, a new study finds. 

Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the study concerns the choroid plexus (CP), a network of blood vessels lined by cells that produce cerebrospinal fluid, which cushions the brain and forms a protective barrier between the fluid and the bloodstream. The CP regulates immune system responses (inflammation) and waste clearance in the brain. Past studies show that the COVID-19 virus can damage the cells lining CP blood vessels.

Published online Feb. 10 in Alzheimer's & Dementia, the new work found that patients reporting Long COVID had a 10% larger CP than those who had fully recovered from an initial infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. Further, CP size increases tracked with blood levels of proteins that increase as Alzheimerโ€™s disease worsens, such as pTau217, and with blood levels of others that rise in response to brain injury, like glial fibrillary acidic protein.

"Study shows impaired energy metabolism in the brains of people with post-COVID"

Brain fog, poor concentration and slowed thinking in Long COVID patients are linked to altered brain energy metabolism, with MRI studies showing changes that correlate with worse cognitive test performance.

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults.

Hey folks โ€“

Iโ€™ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so todayโ€™s announcement on our blog is something Iโ€™ve been pretty involved with. Iโ€™ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured Iโ€™d add some more context to today's news.

I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.)

Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence.

Anyway, weโ€™ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what weโ€™re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. Weโ€™re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
