Remember how as soon as the stat came out that POC were most affected by covid, 👱🏻‍♀️👨🏼‍💼
stopped caring about precautions bc it became a “those people/ low class” issue? They can’t do that with autism & it fucks with them. bsky.app/profile/tres...

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

THERE. ARE. NO. 'CAUSES'. OF. AUTISM.

(other than being born as a member of Homo sapiens, which is a huge risk factor for turning out to be Autistic).

So so many people (and a higher proportion of elites) believe in race iq stuff and they're so so mad it's not as legitimate as it was

This is precisely why it is Secretary Bessent making the announcement & not Jerome Powell. This ‘swap line’ component of what was just announced is not a swap line in any traditional sense. It is a loan. Secured w/ flimsy collateral. That’s why it’s the Treasury and not the Fed.

"Rather than antagonize the servicemembers in their midst, citizens .. could instead seize this rare opportunity to bridge the civil-military divide with constructive, respectful, nonconfrontational conversations with them."

Sharing a gift link to this important one by @charlicarpenter.bsky.social.

The Value of Engaging With Troops Deployed to U.S. Cities

The recent deployments of servicemembers to U.S. cities give citizens a rare opportunity to bridge the civil-military divide.

the suggestion of playing “hot or not” with Palestinian statehood is so breathtakingly offensive I don’t even know where to start

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.

MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show

Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

Happy birthday to @anniecait.bsky.social. Brilliant nurse, birth worker, mom, neighbor, teacher, spouse, rabble rouser. Makes me so much smarter and reminds me every day of what we're fighting for.

Still looking for a good business history of coiners. Brunton's is more of a prehistory

in case you missed this, @wsj.com reported that Trump is — or is trying to at least — direct Pam Bondi via social media DMs, and that when he posted demanding the Comey indictment, it was an accident

The argument above and in the OP is that there is a parallel culture industry for evangelicals that interprets the Bible for them. This far precedes ChatGPT. Many denominations still read the Bible together without ChatGPT. I was at a small country Baptist church in VA doing so two weeks ago.

You guys would not believe the insane structure of the book I had in mind before I was talked down. The phrase "4x postmodern anthropology" was tossed around.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I'm not sure it's ironic! Kind of the logical extreme. "My relationship with god is so personal and private that I needn't even bother with the Bible."

This is why my cousins weren't allowed to read, eg, Harry Potter. The magic is whatever but the real fear is that containment will be breached.
