Every time I choose to support an organization financially, I am in effect, casting fiscal votes for the continuation of that organization. Every decision made in a shared society is political on some level.

You ever notice that literally every time someone says that they don't want politics in their entertainment, that they are invariably a conservative thinker? Hmm... Perhaps there's a message there, if only they could see it... 🤔

Indeed. I'm a big fan of acting like I simply don't understand them, and making them spell it out. 😜

Oh, I'm well aware of what they actually mean. I kind of wish I put "politics" in quotes in my initial post. What they call politics are things that are just facts of life to me...

I find it to be such a strange predilection, personally.

We have been a part of the human condition since long before either Tylenol or vaccines had ever been invented. Nice try, you uneducated potatoes!

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.

So proud to be representing these courageous patients in their first-in-the-country lawsuit against a medical system for stopping gender affirming care for those under 19.

Women's Law Project @womenslawproject.bsky.social · 25d

Just in: WLP, Berger Montague, and law professor David S. Cohen filed a complaint against UPMC Children’s Hospital for unlawfully denying gender-affirming care to transgender patients under 19.

We live in a society run by folks trying very hard to bend reality to suit their ends & egos to a greater extent than ever before (as a country we've always preferred revisionist history). Speak the truth (especially to kids), archive books & films, & do all in your power to counter their ignorance!

The only difference between a murderer and a person who administers the death penalty is that the executioner gets a salary, health care and a paid vacation.

One of the reasons many Autistic People develop a Cassandra Complex is we say things like …

“RFK Jr. is a Eugenicist” for a few … decades?

And then people make him the Secretary of Health or whatever and are like …

“Who could have predicted that the Eugenicist is a Eugenicist?

Timothy McBride @mcbridetd.bsky.social · Aug 29

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics.

RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

Yes it does?

It very literally is one of the core tenets of fascism??

And also it’s not attributable to “madness”. Mental illness has nothing to do with bigotry, racism, hate, and power tripping.

Philip Gourevitch @pgourevitch.bsky.social · Aug 30

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

I am thoroughly disgusted, and ashamed to be a member of such an irrational and willfully ignorant species. We've had so many opportunities to evolve as a society, and discarded all of them in favor of this nightmare. If we don't find a way to stand together against this we are truly lost.

LLM truthers keep trying different ways of saying "But how do we KNOW that using statistical regression to create a string of tokens that resemble an answer to a prompt is not the same thing as actual thought, though?"

And the answer is always: because it isn't.
