re: Autism "over-diagnosis"
@ScottSoCal @Jessica Exactly, the NYPost is not a trustable source. And the 'Dr Allen Frances' (1942) which this tabloid article is about, is now 80 years old, doesn't follow modern science anymore, but he does very conveniently have a new anti-big-pharma book to sell to covidiot-like gullible people. He's simply trolling for attention.

Based on what we already know, his book and this whole article are unscientific disinformation garbage. If there's any new insight I would not expect it from a 80yo quack.
If she gets freaked out, just tell her it's a crawdad.

It's time to have a little chat about the term "Nazi-adjacent".
As you may know, this weekend there was a Nazi rally in #Toronto.ΒΉ And, no, I am not overstating the case. There were literal fucking Nazis throwing up the Roman saluteΒ², and telling marginalized people that they would be the first ones to be decapitatedΒ³.
Are we clear that if you hold an event, and your people start throwing up the #Nazi salute and telling people they're going to get decapitated, AND YOU DON'T FUCKING THROW THEM OUT:
You now are holding a NAZI RALLY.

my favorite news story of all time https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836
I have sufficient reason and evidence to believe that I was terminated from Rune Labs in retaliation for protected anti-discrimination whistleblowing activity.
Normally, NDA would prohibit me from disclosing this. However, thanks to Washingtonβs Silenced No More Act, my ability to speak about discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that I have witnessed in the workplace is legally protected.
πBoosts appreciated.
I want to send a special shout-out to my very VERY patient, chill livestock guardian dog Jack: every single baby goat we've had on this farm has to check and see if maybe, just maybe, there's an udder with milk hiding somewhere on the dog.
And Jack just patiently lets them all learn he does not have an udder. He's a very good boy.

Iowa high school student Clementine Springsteen got up on stage to be recognized for academic honors
Calmly shouting βtrans rights are human rights!β right next to republican Governor Kim Reynolds
The same governor who signed bills banning gender-affirming care for people under 18 and restricting bathroom access for all trans folks
Get busy on restricting voting access republicans. Because kids hate you.
Watch the video attached to the story at the link below: White supremacist activities are on the rise in Columbus, Ohio. If we don't nip it in the bud and take a stand now, we are headed for disaster. And while you might think "hey, they're only protesting drag shows," I encourage you to revisit the lead-up to WWII in Germany in the 1930s.
I quite enjoyed it.
I knew that "Strange World" was an eco-parable but I did not quite understand just how radical it was. I love animation and I definitely want to watch it now.
I've often thought that at the root of the Climate Crisis is the crisis of narrative or storytelling. We only can conceive of a new future by playing with the possible through the imagination.
