I originally came here to have fun. But I find myself howling at the moon. I don't know how to not say, 'the Emperor has no clothes.' Things are nucking futs and bass-ackwards. No matter how much I want to just like birds and scroll through videos of kittens launching themselves at stuff, I can't.

Here's a small weird potentially good thing: The USPS website is still, as of a few minutes ago, processing requests under the free covid test program. No idea when that'll be shut down, but it hasn't been yet.

Giant conifer aphid ink doodle! These (true) bugs are all over the pine barrens of NJ. My husband and I found some in a decomposing wood pile and he snagged a few awesome macro shots. IG: @kurt.lindhult.photo #SciArt 🎨🕷️🌱🐡🐞🐛📸 #invert #insertaninvert

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

Telling someone who's autistic to ignore a sensory trigger is unlikely to help them. Many autists report that their brain can't filter out triggers in the way NT's can. We wish we could ignore them but we just can't. Imagine telling someone to ignore a fire in a room. That's how it feels.

Had a fascinating chat with ChatGBT about strategies to move the American health insurance industry away from brutal financial pragmatism and towards compassion and better patient outcomes. Try it! #chatgbt #AI #training

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.
