Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

How about ynstead of pouringe a ton of moneye ynto A.I. we just funde public educacioun and use the bookes we alreadye have that it ys being trained upon?

Vaccines don't cause autism.

Autism is genetic. Autistics are wired differently and have been around for over 200k years. You need us. All efforts to eradicate us are genocidal impulses.

So let your kids get vaccines and not die of smallpox or polio or whatever.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

We presume owerselves moderne and sophisticated, but most of the daye-to-daye metaphors yn Englisshe are from card playinge, caring for horses, forging tools, bartering, digging. Despite all the corporate dreames of A.I. and realmes of pure informacioun, the language ys stonily material.

look at this fluffy swift parrot - so gorgeously chubby 🪶

Superb parrot! 🦜 🪶

NOPE, we are not going to make UHC restricting ABA "therapy" a scandal. Autistic adults who survived it as children describe it as torture. It should be illegal and I don't give a fuck if they're only doing it to save money, it's an unambiguous good to reduce the hours we torture autistic kids.
