I would never call ADHD a superpower. It feels more like a pact with the fae tbh. Like oh, yeah you can focus, you just can’t control when and on what and for how long

Don't forget the part where data centers are also polluting our drinking water and giving people super cancer
This company is stealing from us. All of us! And it's not even profitable! And it doesn't even make anything useful! It's going to explode and erase your nan's pension! After ensuring that the next PlayStation costs two grand and turning half of everyone you know into jelly-brained zombie fuckwits!
Someones gotta do something about Sam Altman

Pantone color of the year being white is grim in today’s cultural climate for obvious reasons, so I was curious about how the color of the year is actually chosen and found a TIME magazine article that explained and made it worse!

Pantones color of the year basically being white is… 😬 the epitome of mediocrity and chromophobia ESPECIALLY with current historical events and the catering to white supremacy.
Choosing it NOW was a choice.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

Watching an appropriate movie for the season: Batman Returns. While Catwoman flips down an alley we started joking about the way the lady would tell people.
Gf: She’s probably still flipping down that alley.
Me: Some say you can still hear her backflipping to this day.

It's always good to remember that John Roberts only has a seat on this court, which I will never call supreme, as a quid pro quo for his representation of George W. Bush in Bush v Gore.
George W Bush is not getting nearly enough blame for his role in getting us to this moment.

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days
