Read a comfort book/watch comfort show. You know it won't hit as hard, but it'll still be fun.

We get prints of photos of our daughter and from holidays for exactly this reason. Snapfish does pretty cheap prints, so although they're not amazing quality they'll still do for having a look through every now and then.

FFS, it's not like I avoid the news but I had no idea there were people on hunger strike in this country. Absolute failure of journalism.

It's not a natural leap to go from a few promising rat studies to "excellent liver tonic," especially since "liver tonic" is such a vague and meaningless term.

There is actual, hard evidence of coffee's benefits for liver health: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006295225006033#ab010

Epidemiological, experimental, and clinical evidence suggests that regular coffee consumption reduces the risk of liver disease and slows its progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Dandelion may indeed have similar properties, yes, but the evidence base is not there yet to make such strong claims.
