This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule. Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

It's so depressing to me how quickly people have decided that safety regulations just don't matter. You really don't want botulism, listeria, or salmonella and there are very few companies who will put ethics over profits unless they're forced to. This is what government should be doing.

Hello autistics 👋 You're valid as you are. Your experiences are valid. Your life journeys are equally valid. You're not a burden. It’s not your fault things are hard sometimes. Your needs are valid and there is no shame in needing support. You're worth more than your ability to make money.

NEW BLOG POST! You asked for it, and it is here; today we're looking at US attitudes and policy towards Nazi Germany prior to WWII, and why so many pop-leftist narratives of this era now feel the need to distort it.

I don't take a lot of pictures, so every time Google photos tries to make me a memory slideshow it's just bad pics of my dog. Still better the time it gave a former coworker a slideshow of fast food receipts.

A good argument for why Make Gondor Great Again isn't as simple as it sounds, and why assholes like Thiel and Palantir don't get to decide how I engage with one of my favourite texts.
