Misread that story....
I thought it said he lost a cracker,
Instead of backer.

@ScottSoCal @theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I recently moved. This has meant not just picking my current zip code vs the prior one, but more importantly, remembering it's not the next zip over, where I lived for 20yrs, but not in the last six.

Up side: The really good bakery is close by again.

Do any of my #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD comrades relate to being in the middle of an action (writing a tweet or SMS, getting off the couch to go to a different room, etc) only to have NO F**** CLUE what you were doing or why you're doing this?

Income tax isn’t just about paying for roads & defence forces etc. It’s also about wealth redistribution. Not to the point of deterring people from following lucrative careers, or to relieve people capable of at least partially supporting themselves from doing so, but to ensure that no one suffers from unacceptable levels of poverty & all of the disadvantage that entails, while a small percentage of people accrue wealth many times in excess of what anyone could ever spend on even a luxurious lifestyle. #Tax #WealthInequality #Equity

I may need to learn that Klingon drinking song.

I'm think my terrible singing could be excused if it's in Klingon. Besides, if anyone complains then they have insulted my honour and only blood would settle the offence!

Thank you @stevesilberman for sharing this.

Something new I finished today that I hope some of you enjoy.

Twitter is the fourth most hated brand in the US after Fox News, FTX and the Trump Organization. A truly impressive degree of brand destruction in less than a year.

"Elon Musk wants to criminalize gender-affirming care, and he supports imprisoning any therapists and medical professionals involved.

The Twitter CEO on Friday morning promoted a transphobic documentary produced by the petulant, vicious, and dull extremist commentator Matt Walsh."

@Ulrich_the_Elder I live in Sweden and we have a lot of free or almost free services. We have affordable healthcare, free healthcare for children, social security etc.

A visit to the ER costs $30. Same cost for an ambulance ride. There is a yearly max cost for prescriptions of around $230. There's also a maximum cost of visits to doctors etc of $130.

I've never heard of a Swede who went bankrupt due to health care bills.

It’s the media stupid.
For two years all I hear about was her emails, yup the ones that led to zero crimes and zero charges.
Now that trump has admitted to espionage, the same media can barely be bothered to report about it.
A fascist traitor who killed a million people, tried to steal an election, attacked the Capitol and committed grave crimes against America; is free to run for president again. Something is very wrong with a country that would allow this.

This is what allyship looks like.

@bioluminescently @actuallyautistic Oooh thank you for sharing this! I will check it out! My book also has a list of resources that this website is perfect for.

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades consider themselves to have a "low" pain tolerance, but in fact, have been shown to have a high one?

We have a houseguest, and she turns out to be Right Wing. She's my wife's friend, but I could not stay silent. She had started in with J about the "Border Crisis" and J shut that right down, to her credit, but I felt it wasn't enough.

I told our guest about a fascinating book I was reading, that it was good, but traumatic. It was about the Mezote Massacre in El Salvador, and how soldiers trained by the C.I.A. to prevent leftist incursion, were told to frighten the villagers, and instead, tortured and murdered 800 to 1000 people.

Then I left the room.

She hasn't said anything along those lines since.

I think we have to speak up, even when it's uncomfortable or might be seen as "impolite."
