I think it was a dig at how Will Smith reacted to Chris Rock.

Elvanse (Vyvanse in some parts of the world).

Perhaps this is some sort of internalised ableism but I used to have this internal dialogue where I’d reflect on how difficult it was to do “boring” things and a straw man NT person would sarcastically imply that “it must be nice” to have an excuse to get out of “boring” tasks.

Um, fucking no. If you think about it for like two seconds, you realise how much of being a happy, independent and healthy adult relies on being able to complete tasks that aren’t immediately captivating. Those tasks still need doing, I don’t want someone else to do them for me. You’re left with either waiting on when the ‘inspiration’ strikes you, having to improvise some game or arbitrary reward structure just to clean two dishes or you just rawdog your way through the task and you feel every second of the boredom and come out the other side feeling worse than when you started because no satisfaction from completing the task can pay-back the effort you put into completing it.

That’s why ADHD adults burn-out. Without medication, every day you end with a ‘motivation deficit’ where no satisfaction from completing tasks can cover the costs of the determination and focus one spent to start those tasks. Eventually you just ‘default’ and you can’t do anything any more.

Stimulants to me feel like a small loan on every task. It’s a fine balance but they actually let me come out of tasks semi-regularly with more energy/motivation than I started. And when you have a surplus, productivity begets productivity.

How can they be racists?! They’re middle-class!

Christ I hate The Express.

I may carry the dubious distinction of being the first Jewish artist to be de-platformed and defunded by Germany

The first? You sure about that?

Shush, that’s the secret European country only rich people know about…

Really excited to hear what you think.

Age of consent is 18 in the United Kingdom, when the older individual has a duty of care for the younger.

Would you have any recommendations for a split board that’s perhaps a little larger than the Corne? I can’t help but feel it’d be too small for me.

Have you not seen how big number can be? Number can just get so big. I don’t even care that I’m ADHD and I’m playing into all the worst stereotypes about us:

NUMBER GETS BIG

Absolutely. Just a warning that one’ll drive themselves mad if they dig into every error produced in any Reach publication with the sheer amount of content they publish so quickly.

IIRC the Mirror and the MEN are owned by the same company (alongside most other ‘local’ papers including the Birmingham Mail and the Bristol Post).

If he was an ethnically Bangladeshi teenage girl, we in the UK could definitely find a way to render him stateless.

The problem is that, this helps Putin. If we assume he has no regard for human life, then this is a massive opportunity for him. He’s made the most out of opportunities like this one in the past.

This attack on innocent lives is a profound tragedy as it is. I wish I could spend more time dwelling on the plight of the victims but my brain won’t stop panicking about all the ways Putin can exploit this situation to ruin even more lives.

It’s why I couldn’t shake the idea that this might be a false flag operation. It’s why I can’t deny the prospect that perhaps Russian security services didn’t do all they could to stop this before it occurred.

My thoughts to the victims and those close to them.

Truth or Consequences, NM

Heard it on a true crime podcast once and obviously I had to look up how it got its name and now it’s just stuck.

EDIT: Missed the never travelled to qualifier. I’ve been to California twice and NYC once. Only heard of Truth or Consequences after my travels.

An Ethicurean. I genuinely believe it’s the perfect cocktail but I’ve only ever come across it in a single bar in all my life.

• Serves 1
• ice cubes
• lemon ¼
• thyme 2 sprigs plus 1 to serve
• honey 1 tsp
• vodka 25ml
• apple juice 100ml

Full recipe.

I’m not expecting people to know. I’m expecting the AP to educate their readers.

Thanks for your input. Maybe non-Brits won’t understand that I’m not trying to be elitist. It’s just that, as far as I can remember, even in our shit-tier tabloids, he’s called the Taoiseach. Sure, it’s confusing the first time but I don’t think it’s the hardest thing to pick up from context. Prime Minister immediately smacks like a mistake or a lack of care.

I think the best thing would be maybe refer to him as PM in the headline (if there’s no better alternative) but then as Taoiseach in the article.
