In HS I got a rep for being funny, but also blunt. I found myself coping by making jokes, playing with the irreverent/ absurd. I also have difficulty lying/ being dishonest. Eventually got known for occasionally saying truths / wise things, shocking others with honesty. So a weird schism arose.

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Autistic masking often feels, from the inside, like aggressively performed hypernormality. It's like living in a huge company networking event that never, ever ends. I'm sure non-autistic people have similar experiences when they find some aspect of their identity in the cultural minority.

The idea that autistic people lack empathy is still depressingly prevalent, partly because people conflate 'caring about other humans' wellbeing & wanting them to be happy' with 'reliably able to infer a stranger's motivation & emotional state based off observing a few external nonverbal clues'.

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

It should fail spectacularly, like everything else they do.
Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.
