So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

I was invited to Bluesky largely because of the information I have provided on treating #SensoryOverload, a debilitating medical condition that affects a variety of people, the best-known being autistic.

With the Amazon strike, it's important to know that there are *at least* 32.4 million low-wage workers in the US whose employers use AI to decide who gets hired and fired, to set their pay, and to surveil and manage them. The use of AI makes work more dangerous, unstable, and unfair. Our report:

I think everyone should get to know the west African term “wahala”. It generally means “chaos”, “confusion”, or “drama”. A clusterfuck. I’ve been on a mission for years to use it more regularly in my work. Because—- *gestures at everything* See wahala?!???

No, school shootings do not have to be a "fact of life." — Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings — More guns don't make us safer — A majority of Americans want gun reform We do not have to live like this. No other country does.

Yo what's up new friends and 'fugees from X. I'm having a craptastic year, but welcome to having nuanced conversations on social media again.

Re-upping this excellent piece by @heesoojang.bsky.social for the editors who follow me. She writes knowledgeably about events in South Korea—and how those events relate to the struggle to maintain democracy globally. I can’t think of a more timely topic.

In an Unprecedented Move, Ohio Is Funding the Construction of Private Religious Schools Many states have enacted school voucher programs that give parents taxpayer money to spend on private school tuition. Now Ohio has cut out the middleman, providing millions in grants directly to these schools.

I am glad UC Davis is trying to make blood draws more accessible for kids with I/DD. But I wish we would see more efforts to also accommodate autistic adults who have debilitating needle anxiety—including those without apparent communication disabilities. health.ucdavis.edu/welcome/news...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #765,171!

I and others have been warning you about this for over a year, in every class we taught, every talk we gave, and almost every paper we wrote about GPTs. @janelleshane.com and @fractalecho.bsky.social showed the immediate and downstream harms. We told you this was coming. We all could've stopped this
