A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Theory: you can put Brendan Fraser in any Tom Cruise role and it would improve the film; you cannot put Tom Cruise in any Brendan Fraser role without it making the film worse

Globe and Mail: Residents in Kapuskasing, the town northwest of Timmins where a pulp mill shutdown threatened thousands of jobs, before a possible government lifeline emerged this week, may reasonably want the premier to spend less time and political capital on removing bicycle lanes in downtown Toronto. Drivers who want investments to make dangerous rural highways safer may wonder at a transportation policy so laser-focused on banning urban speed cameras. And residents province-wide may question why they should pay for the spa at Ontario Place.

Autism isn't a problem.

People who cannot handle others being different and having different needs are.

Weird isn't a problem.

People upset by 'weird' are.

oh wow, the early reports are that the new Tron movie isn’t doing very well at the box office. this is wild, because the last Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office, and also the very first Tron movie didn’t do very well at the box office and also neither of those first two were very good.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Chicago tonight appears to be chaos from what I am seeing here. Seeing from friends otg and other streams.

Federal paramilitary members and state police are working together to attack civilians across the city but at broadview police and federal troops are attempting to terrorize protestors.

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

In an article about rapidly rising commercial rents, I think it would be very relevant to mention commercial properties are heavily restricted (the thin red lines on the map) and that less than a year ago the city voted against allowing more in neighbourhoods.
