The anti-self dx crowd be like...

Autistic sensory sensitivities can be pretty finicky. By the way, a change of less than three decibels is imperceivable to humans.

I made something.

Self explanatory.

The mob has spoken!

To paraphrase a great Simpsons joke (imagine Phil Hartman gleefully saying this): When you’re right 57.2 percent of the time, you’re wrong 42.8 percent of the time!

I’m joining the we on Autism, on the side of Autism!

Written text always needs to be edited, but also, so do a lot of videos. And you also need to pay attention to the production, at least some lighting and consideration to sound. Camera mic in an echoey room, very distracting.

Article. I can read faster than any YouTuber can speak, even with the playback speed cranked up to comical levels. THAT SAID, article writers these days need fucking EDITORS they spend whole paragraphs FAFFING ABOUT before they get to the point IT'S CALLED THE INVERTED FUCKING PYRAMID MY DUDES

You know, if I don’t like something someone posts I just… Keep scrolling, make no comment. People really need to take a course on basic manners before joining any social media. I can’t imagine being so entitled to tell someone what to post, or to tell a stranger their posts irritate me.

Hello, this is Hugh Jass speaking.

Someone on Reddit suggested the reason workers are being required to use AI even when it actively harms your work (see quoted thread) is investors want to see you using their worker replacing machines they’ve invested heavily in. I think there’s a lot of truth to that.

AI is just the product of a culture where nobody wants to learn anything new, skills have no value, and craftsmanship is considered an expensive waste. That’s fundamentally not a world I want to live in.

I never watch Kimmel, but dammit I watched his monologue last night!

It’s no secret I set a rule for myself that I would do no callouts, no drama, and no doomerism. It turns out that leaves little to talk about. So much microblogging I realize is built on outrage and callouts. You really notice once you make a conscious effort not to do that.

What’s amazing about this study is the takeaway wasn’t, “Huh, autistic people tend to be consistent with their stated morals whether or not they’re being judged.” It was, “Wow, autistic people don’t lie in an expected way. This is a huge problem.”

On top of that, how would knowing the cause materially affect any autistic person? Oh, it was caused by genetics? Cool, should I have been born to different parents? Actually, that one beelines straight into genetics, so…

The screencap is a lot of words to say, “It really doesn’t work.” I do like how they tried to spin it as a positive since it avoided jargon most of the time at the expense of clarity. Accessible writing is an under appreciated skill.

Between this and the West Coast Health Alliance, that represents one third of the US population. One third of Americans represented by people giving the finger to Kennedy.

I hear repeatedly people asking if writers will be needed as everyone will be able to endlessly generate the stories they want with a few button presses. People who say that have no idea why people read (or watch movies for that matter).

Seriously, Target management is in a panic! Tesla’s stock is doing well because of some of Musk’s manipulation shenanigans, but their brand is seriously tarnished. I despise nihilism and doomerism, so it won’t get posted or shared by me.

Gaming has lost its magic. Old school game, like NES through PS2 was much more fun, and each generation felt like a huge leap. I miss putting a game in a console, turning it on, and playing. That said, I don’t miss the old school jank.

With Alt Text. Not gonna link the article, follow the quote if you really want to.

Season Three was definitely uneven. But the good episodes were REALLY good! The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail and Terrarium were outstanding, and Wedding Bell Blues was a great fluff episode. The rest was pretty uneven.

It’s worse when you’re autistic and work in film sound. Then I’m like, “That’s a lav. Oh wow, they really overdid the noise reduction.” Not that I’d know the conventions with porn…😒😇

Autism is a spectrum.

Being a spectrum means that autism tends to manifest very differently in everyone. While there are common patterns, the combination and intensity of these patterns is different for everyone. It doesn't mean everyone is on this spectrum.

Autism and being a jackass aren't inextricably linked. Yes, autism can cause social misunderstandings that inadvertently hurt people, and autistic people can just be insufferable assholes, but being an insufferable asshole isn't an autistic symptom.

Just made my vaccination appointment in WA State. It’s fully covered by insurance AS IT FUCKING SHOULD BE!

The Fargo Side: illustrations of Coen Bros movies in the style of your favorite surreal comic strip.

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Post a meme made by you

They’ve been saying this since the 1990s and to date, no link has been found.

“Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday!” Me: Hey Jet2 Holiday! *punch* Jet2 Holiday: Ow! I’ve been beaten!

I have promised myself that I would never post doomerism and keep my space mostly positive. Anyway, as of six minutes ago, AP has confirmed the death of a prominent right wing personality.

“Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday!” Me: Hey Jet2 Holiday! *punch* Jet2 Holiday: Ow! I’ve been beaten!

They share a lot in common even though they're very different, but they also co-occur very often.

Happy AuDHD Day!

Ok but I 100% can hear "Age verification?" in his voice

Autism is a spectrum.

Age verification? There has to be a Strong Bad Email about that.

I heard someone say that the reason the rich CEOs are sure AI is amazing is because this is how people regularly talk to THEM.

It’s Star Trek Day. I have Star Trek opinions.
