@aakashgupta Most don't realize this is actually a special condition. It's called: being human.

This has a clinical name. Revenge bedtime procrastination. And the ADHD version runs on a completely different mechanism than the neurotypical one. A neurotypical person stays up late because they want more leisure time. The ADHD brain stays up because it spent every drop of dopamine it had on executive function during the day. Sitting in meetings, managing transitions, filtering impulses, remembering the thing you were supposed to remember. That burns through dopamine the way sprinting burns through glycogen. By 10pm the tank is empty. But here's where it gets counterintuitive. The exhaustion is physical. The dopamine deficit is neurological. Those are two separate systems. Your muscles want sleep. Your prefrontal cortex is starving for the stimulation it was denied all day because it spent 14 hours on task-switching and impulse control instead of anything that actually felt rewarding. The phone at midnight is the brain trying to collect what it's owed. Low-effort, high-stimulation content. Scrolling, short videos, rabbit holes. The exact profile of activity that delivers dopamine without requiring the executive function you already depleted. The sleep researchers call this a "self-regulation failure." It's closer to a debt collection. You borrowed against your own reward system to function all day. The bill comes due at midnight. And the brain will not let you sleep until it gets paid.

@Lovandfear That's literally all people. You don't have a disability, you're just like everyone else.

ADHD people being mentally and physically exhausted but still staying up because they didn't get enough "me time" after surviving the whole day.

@edgaralandough Don't trust the government

I’m 32. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@_dxllz7 The government

What are u starting to dislike more as u get older?

@Be_like_legend @mandabryce 99% of all people feel this way at times

Neurodivergents will say “I need rest” but what they actually mean is “I need uninterrupted time where no one expects anything from me”

@JimsTweets The government would rather not know bc then they would have to do something about it.

Do Homeschool kids just like, not have to take tests or exams or get grades? How does the government know if the child is actually getting an education and not just like, being neglected

@CTULocal1 @jacksonpCTU What percent of teachers and parents support this? If you don't know, that's a problem.

The loudest voice at yesterday’s press conference opposing May Day as a day of civic action for our schools wasn’t even a CPS parent — it was Juan Rangel, a longtime charter operator with a documented record of mismanagement and misconduct. He is a fraudster. Meanwhile, here are the actual facts about May Day: Schools remain OPEN on May 1. Students and families have the option to participate in a day of civic engagement lessons and rally at Union Park with CPS-provided buses. There will be no retaliation against students or staff who participate What’s truly irresponsible is elevating a non-parent with a track record of financial and ethical violations to speak over real CPS families and educators.

@MikhailaFuller @jordanbpeterson Someone or something is poisoning him.

We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia. It’s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It’s been horrible. Neurological injuries from psych meds are far more common than people know. I made this video to explain what they are and what akathisia is because they’re not talked about enough, they’re misdiagnosed, nearly impossible to treat, and hidden by the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t plan on making another update about my dad, it stresses my family out, and myself, and there’s nothing more to say about it until things get better. I will be jumping up and down about psych med injury awareness from now on as it’s impacted my health as well, and is devastating. Prayers are appreciated still.

@Theholisticpsyc The DSM-5 defines trauma as "exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence." I understand your point, but I wonder if there's a better word to use here.

All parents traumatize their children. People hurt people. We traumatize each other, sometimes unintentionally. The work isn't to be perfect, it's to apologize, to be humble, and to keep trying to do better. That's how you create a healthy family.

Americans after finding that a group of fish is called 'school'

It’s called The Art of the Deal for a reason, panicans and leftists. Nobody does it like President Trump.

BREAKING: Trump says a 'whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will'.

@nikitabier @NateSilver538 Nate is a huge retard

There's nothing organic about it; it's deliberate choices you and the team are making. And although those choices may have been defensible in the abstract, they're clearly resulting in low-quality content rising to the top. You're a smart dude, you can build a better algo!

@RichardHanania Not quite. Keep reading.

“As one ‘victim’ recounted, the instructions they’d give each other were as follows: ‘Make sure you tell him you’re 18… Jeffrey doesn’t want any underage girls.’” Everything we’re told about the Epstein story is a lie. open.substack.com/pub/mtracey/p/…

@mtracey You think he would've done better/worse going to trial and facing federal charges?

There was no "sweetheart deal." Another myth. Over a year of incarceration, including time in solitary confinement, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and requirement to pay civil damages + attorney fees for government-designated "victims" is not a "sweetheart deal"

@GadSaad Sounds like he felt a call from somewhere outside himself, and the best word he has for where it came from is God. Regardless of whether that's actually where it came from, it seems to have worked out for him.

When the Seahawks coach says that God called him to become a coach, are you moved by such a statement? If yes, do you genuinely believe that the Lord of the Universe shared His desire to have this individual become the Seahawks’ coach? I’m genuinely curious about how people process such a statement.

@netanyahu Epstein’s incredibly close relationship with a former Israeli Prime Minister is proof he didn’t work with Israel! This guy is hilarious. I bet Israeli spies staying over also proved it wasn’t Israel! And procuring cyber weapons for Israel proves he was with … the Bulgarians!

@CaitlinPacific @JonahDispatch @kaitlancollins Yes, when a woman smiles at me it's a dead giveaway that she'll do anything I say from then on.

@JonahDispatch @kaitlancollins But the smile of young woman represents a lot of things - first that she can be approached because now she’s smiling; second that she’ll do what you say; third that she’s put herself in a tricky situation and that will likely play out a little bit.

Yes it was such a perceptive observation that @kaitlancollins should smile while asking the president about a sexual abuser he had a longstanding relationship with. I’m sure if she’d smiled while asking, and Trump mocked her smiling Vance would call that perceptive, too. And of course Kelly would agree.

@jaketapper Cmon, Jake. Just have some fun. Stop being so serious. Didn't you know disrespecting women is funny now?

She was asking the president about how his Justice Department is upsetting survivors of a horrific child rape trafficking ring by failing to redact identifying information about them.

I think they started with the stones on the bottom layer, then worked their way up. Any other method would be unnecessarily tricky
