He had me at "Aspergers->engineer" but it kinda went downhill from there. Probably a bot, I hope.

One really difficult thing about being autistic is feeling like you're not even human. But sometimes you see humans doing something and you think, "wow, being a human must be hard."

Gritty Antifa memes are my favorite subgenre

Vignettes of Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers' mascot that looks like a scary Muppet, with the text: "HOW MANY MEN HAVE I KILLED? NOT MEN. I KILL FASCISTS."

The Tigers jacket is amazing on its own. The rest of the aesthetic reeks of "Drug dealing skinny Dr. Phil" but he owns it.

Watch "The World at War," it's a 26-part series narrated by Laurence Olivier. It was made in the seventies so there are a ton of interviews with firsthand accounts.

It’s interesting that Republicans keep talking about No Kings on Oct. 18 as though it’s just a DC protest.

The protests are nationwide. Find your local one here: www.nokings.org#map

Johnson slams the No Kings protest march scheduled to take place in DC next week as the “hate America rally” that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.”

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.
