@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.

Every letter in the English language can be silent if you just shut the fuck up

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.¹ And, no, I am not overstating the case. There were literal fucking Nazis throwing up the Roman salute², and telling marginalized people that they would be the first ones to be decapitated³.

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 Washington’s Silenced No More Act, my ability to speak about discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that I have witnessed in the workplace is legally protected.

🔊Boosts 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.

As a long-time ally of the LGBTQI+ community, I am honored to join the Congressional Equality Caucus to ensure equal protection under the law for LGBTQI+ people in #OH11 and across the country.

Calmly shouting “trans rights are human rights!” 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.

After months of darkness during the Danish winter, entering the garden to see the flowering Marguerite is such a joy. 😍

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 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.

...think I'll pass.

I’ve diligently worked my entire life to cultivate the grace with which I was not born. Only in granting myself compassion did I truly find it.

Learn more about my journey with #EhlersDanlos and #hypermobility in today’s @Huffingtonpost. I hope it helps someone else find an answer and perhaps hope for the future.

This makes me sad, it implies the increases in people being diagnosed autistic aren't "real" and such people aren't really autistic 🙁

It's also strange this is the takeaway, not that people weren't spotted earlier as #ActuallyAutistic.

I am reminded of this graph of left-handedness. There aren't more left-handed people than before, they're just being correctly identified (and not made to surpress their left-handedness):

How can democracy self-correct if the public does not understand where the problem lies? And where will the pressure for change come from if journalists do not hold the responsible parties accountable?https://presswatchers.org/2023/04/republicans-threaten-to-tank-economy-media-blames-biden/

From now on, anytime someone asks me why I put so much time and effort into this arguably dumb account, I will simply tell them that I do it for Tim.
