I’ll be honest, it has really prevented me from accepting the fact that I screened positive as an adult for ADHD based on other symptoms, because I’m older and when I was in elementary school non-hyperactive ADHD wasn’t really much of a thing. (Side rant: why can’t we go back to calling it ADD if it’s not hyperactive? Why did they ever decide to erase the distinction and call them the same thing?) But having a son with non-hyperactive ADHD has forced me to admit that it exists, and see signs of it in myself. Unfortunately the side effects of meditation are not worth it in my case, so I can’t do much with this insight.

The other way to navigate it is if you get into the storyline of the Gizzverse, the fictional universe that is referenced throughout their songs, but not in chronological order. Trying to piece it together has encouraged me to branch out and listen to albums I otherwise might have ignored.

To each their own. That’s part of what makes KGLW so fascinating. They’re a band that two people with very different musical tastes can both love equally!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. About to release their 27th album and have covered pretty much every genre so no matter what you like, there’s probably a record for you. My favorite is the Flying Yellow Microtonal Banana, full of great tracks, but Billabong Valley has broad appeal.

That’s interesting; I had a conversation once with a friend whose SO was addicted to porn about how she would feel if she discovered that he had AI deepfakes of her. She was very clear that she would see it as a huge relief and a compliment, even; obviously a large part of the hurt she was feeling had to do with the betrayal of having her SO lusting after other women. Otherwise, I don’t see how the question is any different for AI porn than other porn; the unique thing about AI is that it’s possible to make porn about one’s spouse.
