Ketamine, TMS, a fecal analysis: my year trying San Francisco’s most experimental depression treatments

Carly Schwartz wanted a solution for her mental health struggles. She found one, but not where she expectedOn a threadbare carpet in the living room of a Bernal Heights bungalow, I lay blindfolded on my back. Two middle-aged rescue terriers, one missing an eye, sniffed my feet and climbed up and down my legs. F**kin’ Perfect by Pink blared in the background, but the music sounded muffled and distant, like I was listening from underwater.It was 1pm on a Thursday. Instead of going to the office, I’d allowed a shaman named Jonathan to inject my thigh muscle with a large dose of liquid ketamine. Even in my compromised state, high and spread out like a corpse on a stranger’s rug, I knew I’d reached peak absurdity. I also knew I wouldn’t emerge from this activity with even a slight improvement to my mental health.Carly Schwartz is the author of the new memoir I’ll Try Anything Twice: Misadventures of a Self-Medicated Life and the former editor in chief of the San Francisco Examiner Continue reading...

Canada Proposes Complete Ban on Crypto ATMs After $704M Fraud Losses in 2025

The ban would be among the most comprehensive responses globally, targeting the unattended cash-to-crypto pipeline while allowing purchases through regulated channels.

Octopus Energy CEO Suggests Households Could Accept Occasional Blackouts for Lower Bills

Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson has suggested some households would accept occasional electricity blackouts in exchange for 25% lower energy bills, sparking controversy on the anniversary of Europe's largest power outage in Spain and Portugal. The comments come as UK dual fuel bills are expected to rise to almost £2,000 from July, with grid upgrade costs climbing from £254 to £457 annually. Jackson, 54, clarified he was not advocating for blackouts but said Spanish consumers would accept occasional outages for cheaper electricity. At least six people died in last year's Iberian blackout, including two who died after being unable to run breathing equipment.
