Something like...
"I was appalled watching the Trump town hall. It was just a platform for Trump to spew lies to a hand-picked receptive adulating audience.
CNN is dead as a news organization and is now a willful complicit accomplice in propagating Trump's blatant lies." ?

Several people in this thread have recommended I use "privacy.com" to create one-off credit card numbers to thwart the companies that hike autopay subscription rates. I took a look at it and discovered the company is in bed with Peter Thiel's evil Palintir.

No thanks.

I guess I’m just a super radical leftist. Yesterday I went to a library and looked at… books. Don’t tell anyone. I’m trying to keep this on the downlow.

Deer deliver in the strangest of places! If you find a fawn in your yard, leave it alone, do not touch, move or feed it. They have no scent and predators cannot find them unless humans interfere. Mom leaves during the day for 2 primary reasons: to feed, and to keep her scent away. Mom will return, but not until dusk and not if humans are around. If you discover the gift of a fawn enjoy the experience, and let the Mom do what comes naturally. Please share, thank you. #wildlife

Last night I was with a friend explaining my theory of how autistic folks step blindly into emotional mine fields laid by interlocutors of all neurotypes — the conflict isn’t as simple as “NT vs ND” but “status-blind autist vs thin-skinned anyone”

— where “thin-skinned” isn’t an insult, its just that in this particular situation or relationship or topic there’s a trigger or lack of trust so the sensitive one both *sends* and *reacts to* subtextual signals that the autist is unaware of, then suddenly changes the subject from whatever the autist is monotropically focusing on to their own feelings, but instead of saying in *words*

“i can’t focus on your point right now since I’m having feelings and need to clarify your intentions and our relative social status and intimacy levels first but then I promise we’ll get back on track”

they just sigh and interrupt and accuse

and while they’re waiting for an *apology* the autist is still trying to *explain* that no, I didn’t mean to offend but can I just finish my point (so now they’re trying to explain two things at once, poorly) which comes off as invalidating and it all goes sideways 😧

So... let me get this straight.
The Town Hall audience tonight for the Sexual Offending Insurrectionist Former Guy is a GOP only audience?

Lesson never learned at CNN
Disgusting

Now I've gotta go Rage Bake some pies.

What is the point of having friends if they won’t provide you with an alibi?

Ran across an article on RSD and now wondering if that’s the name for some of my brain gremlins. I thought RSD was more of an ADHD thing so assumed I didn’t have it, but this article describes some of my reactions quite well. Anyone else have thoughts about RSD and autism?

We should rename "Non-binary" people to "Hexadecimal" people

I’m done. #news #politics
