My dad truly believed that people just didn't have autism when he was growing up and I had to be the one to break it to him that autistic people who didn't fit in WERE PUT INTO INSTITUTIONS

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

The errant NYT editorial that triggered this suit ran in June 2017. It is now April 2025. Good for the Times to fight this thing as long as it did. But most news orgs -- even wealthy/cowardly ones like ABC/Disney -- don't have the stomach for it.

The stock market will continue to tank because of the growing realization there will be 1) no trade deals made, 2) insufficient deals made, or 2) terrible deals made. Options 2 and 3 won't happen quickly or rationally, and there are no adults in the room, much less the Council of Economic Advisers.

been saying it for a while but anything about "Ai replacing employees" is a marketing exercise, and if I'm honest I lump in most AI safety conversations with it, because they never seem concerned with the actual harms. It's all so cynical.

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

It should be pointed out repeatedly that nearly all diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are not "illegal," no matter how many times Trump and Republicans say it is. So when they say something like "illegal DEI programs," they are being assholes with rhetoric. They're also lying.
