Shamelessly be who we are

The ocean has been hoarding heat. Now it is building up a massive 'burp.'
Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

It's been forever but I'm still not sure why Solas felt like he had no other choice than to kill Felassan, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask 🫣
Scenes in DAV that happened in my heart:

-during the finale when rook and solas team up-
Rook: Its fucked up how you dont seem to care about killing varric!
Solas: I assure you I deeply regret what happened. But I have purposely murdered closer friends in more devastating ways.
R:…damn
S: Quite.

"Frankenstein" is an essay in autism: from the high needs one that is easily dehumanized and considered the result of aberrant modern science, to the pragmatic empath (often a woman) who cares about actions and not virtues, to Necromancer Dexter both envious and dismissive of DeeDee (William).

Not to be horny on main but it's been four days and I can't get Oscar Isaac in Frankenstein out of my head. How he managed to make himself so repulsive as a character while looking the hottest he's ever looked* is why the concept of hate fuck exists

*well, close second to his Leto lbh but still 👀

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

Fuck 'em

Difficulty options. Settings for one shot kills and invincibility. Motion blur options. More accessibility options that go far beyond easy, normal and hard. Players should be able to customize their experience to allow more people to play games.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I had this brainfart a few days ago about what a superhero Veilguard would look like (blame #Dispatch), and while the fic idea is still simmering at the back of my mind, fanart is a much smaller time commitment :D
First off: Quick superhero #lucanisdellamorte #dragonagefanart

Considering how sugary and fatty groceries are in the US as a rule, plus the difficulty+cost of fresh fruit and vegetables, plus the lack of locally owned joints that can compete with chain store prices, it became easier for me to understand how fast food has thrived in the US when I lived there.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.

“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

@darkprinceev.bsky.social wait isn't this from that artist Amy loves? Am I tripping? Can't remember her name now but I remember her going to her show and buying paintings from her and the eeriness feeling so on brand for her
If your coffee shop decor isn’t hitting like this, I don’t want it.

Mass reblogging Saif's art because it breathtaking. I hope the racist piece of shit who steals and whitewashes these masterpieces will have wet socks and disgusting coffee for the rest of their life while Saif only encounters sunshine and rainbows and all the good things
