After everything that has happened this year, choosing WHITE as the color of year is REALLY QUITE A CHOICE, PANTONE.
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

Elon Musk can't get humans to love him so he made a robot to love him instead and now all the humans are making fun of the robot. This is the smartest man in the world, a once-in-a-generation genius and clear member of the natural aristocracy

At a Remembrance Day event and they’re playing the star spangled banner??? What the actual fuck?

On Remembrance Day I think of those who are sent to fight, and those who fought and died in hopes that we who follow them might not have to.

On this Remembrance Day I am once again saddened that the peace that was promised after the price that they paid seems to be falling apart.

Lest we forget.
