The first autism diagnosis was in 1943. ADHD traits were first spotted in 1798. The first medical treatment for ADHD was in 1937. His grandfather lobotomized his aunt, Rosemary, for showing neurodivergent traits in 1941. He was born in 1954. He’s a grifter, a liar, and most importantly a eugenicist

85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator.

He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world.

As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of our most efficient agencies. Costs less than $1B a year & has fought to return over $20B directly to Americans.

But I guess it makes sense that a billionaire wants to eliminate one of the agencies that fights for working people. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

Another word for "regulation" is...

"consumer protection"
"environmental protection"

"Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.
my kingdom for an elected official who will stand up and defend the fact that the government employs people to test wastewater and send old people money and keep an eye on the bears in the park and make sue the people that scammed you

Women feel pushed from academia by "poor workplace climate"

But what that really means, in this case, is women feel pushed from academia because men are too dang insecure to allow their success. www.science.org/content/arti...
