Saw someone say new gen of Dragon Age (Veilguard) was “just starting”. My dear, it was a direct sequel that took 10 years. It was not just starting.

For the Gilded Age fans, I really need George and Bertha to be ok. I’m gonna be so mad if Julian Fellowes set them up as this absolute power couple just to rip it out from under us.

If you live in these areas or know someone who does, make sure to contact Senators Blackburn and Hagerty. We can save our hospitals if we all speak up!

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

I kind of love watching old movies with crappy CGI just bc it’s so charming compared to some movies now where everything is computerized

I am Mr Darcy, I fear

Not quite the same, but my cousin and I call our shared grandfather different names.

Exactly! Like they are so resolute in each of their convictions but personality-wise they are so different. And I love the respect between them as well.

Can’t believe the Liberty Kids theme song has the line “feeling the pain as innocence dies” in such a happy little tune.

Bringing back the “honey and lavender cream” is such a genius move 💜💛

I love 2 and inquisition so much!!

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

The Fade map from dragon age origins

I’m replaying Origins and let me tell you that if I ever switch from console to PC, the very first mod I’m downloading is to skip the Fade.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

News broke late yesterday that the Administration has ordered that agencies such as HHS, CDC, and FDA no longer issue health advisories, alerts, studies, website updates or other social media posts, and other guidance...

Everyone was shouting about how project 2025 laid out the first 72 hours of the administration changes and rollbacks for regulations, now that's exactly what's happening and everyone who was like "I don't want to get political 😔" is totally blindsided by it. frustrating

Not even a full day into this presidency and I’m already tired

Today and in the coming days, remember

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

It is my sincere belief that, while there are a lot of people to blame for the TikTok ban, we wouldn’t have even had that conversation if Trump had ignored it in his first term.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Lucanis from Dragon Age: the Veilguard

If I had a nickel for everytime I romanced a possessed man who tried to keep me safe from himself, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

100% agree

That is fair but it breaks my heart for both of those characters

I’ve had a similar discussion with my male coworkers. As we get older, they worry about their mortality, but I get to be my more authentic self bc I no longer exist for the pleasure of others.
