We tend to think our existence is so unique... but then something like this shows up on our feeds and we find ourselves in awe of infinite possibilities of life and meaning beyond the fences of our mental real estate.

I mean, I understand how abled people see things because up until 10 years ago I was an abled person. I never considered my ADD (now ADHD type whatever) to be a "disability" because I treated it like a superpower. Same thing with being gay. So "disability" I only saw through a very narrow lens [1/4]

This was the fastest painting I've ever sold. Seriously, I had to take it back from the buyer to give it more time to dry! Yes, the title & mood were inspired by the Adele song. I rarely title my work with the exact name of a song (2 maybe 3 times) but this one broke a lot of my rules to get here.

Screencap of an Xwitter Post from Lina M Khan (former FCC Chair under President Biden) earlier today showing a message to Rob Bonta and other State AG's:

"The Paramount/Warner Brothers merger seems facially illegal, and the state AG lawsuit challenging it is very strong.

It’s troubling to hear that the states may now settle for behavioral remedies, allowing the deal to go through subject to various promises from the firms. Behavioral remedies routinely fail, and the stakes here are particularly high given that a strong democracy requires open markets for sound journalism and creative expression.

The states were right to step up, and I hope they keep fighting to protect this market, its workers, and the millions of Americans who value a free press and a vibrant film industry."

If you can determine a #reason for the "excessive amount of unearned praise or kindness," then you would choose a different word than #Obsequious. (maybe flattering? gas lighting?) Obsequious is a word that admits what it doesn't know (but only suspects). Ideal for describing chatbot intonation.
