I commented on the Orange Hell site today. ... why? I don't even know why I did it. SMH. I needed the dopamine hit, I guess? I'm a mystery to myself sometimes. #actuallyaudhd #actuallyautistic

From conversation today. #startrekmemes

Newspaper withdrawal at the breakfast table Mornings haven't been quite the same around the house since Feb. 26--the last one that started with a print copy of the Washington Post landing somewhere near our front walk, making less of a thud than it once did, sometime before dawn. That marked […]

[About marriage difficulties and (dis)satifaction in ASD-NT couples] @autistics Well, this is fucking depressing: https://juniperpublishers.com/gjidd/pdf/GJIDD.MS.ID.555829.pdf

If this is more than actual PR, this is so stupidly dangerous. Let's take something fairly random and unpredictable and let it spit out something even more perversely weird and unpredictable. This is going to end so well. /s […]

I wish everyone were as considerate of others as so many autistic people I've met. I've known so many, and often am like this, where it's so much about not putting the other person ill at ease. Can you imagine a world full of Canadian Standoffs? It'd be terribly awkward but it would also be so […]

@autistics @actuallyadhd 14 months since my autism diagnosis. Almost seems as though I've become "more autistic" since. I suspect, though, that's a fresh new hell of autistic burnout setting in perhaps flavored with a splash of depression. Going out on routine errands is exhausting and […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ZachWeinersmith/116511649234720154 That's a paltry $9M in savings, where I live. Fuck retirement, am I right? 💀

This has to be one of the stupidest footguns I've seen in months. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47989883

As excited as so many people are about "agents" why aren't there a lot more conversations about "the hallucinating robot just deleted my production database!"? This actually happened. When it made it to Hacker News, all people did was shit on the guy it happened to. What do you expect? The […]

This is fucking gold #startrekmemes

I want to be optimistic. But then events like this happens: - Partisan gerrymandering has been ok (ridiculous) - Now, "gerrymandering" to protect voting rights for minorities has been declared illegal. 2028 is not looking good. The US is now more likely to inherit an indefinite GOP […]

When I was 4 years old, I saw Star Wars in the movie theatre. For someone who is 18 now, that would have been The Avengers. 🤦‍♂️ I'm fucking old.

@jayroh you watch Invincible, right? Are you current on it?

Another LinkedIn CEO leaves. that never happens. 🙄

It'd sure be awfully ironic if Iran's seemingly quite intentional jerking around of the Trump administration directly contributes massive GOP losses or the unlikely defenestration of Trump in the near future. Exactly whose regime will change? 😂

Why isn't Rao's pasta sauce marketed as a meal in a jar? It's delicious. It's a reasonable amount of nutrition for a meal. I don't see the problem...

If you invested in SanDisk over a year ago, why are you even reading this message? Also, talk about a massive case of FOMO. "Fuck off. Missed out."

@actuallyadhd @autistics I saw a NYT story about autistics working in professional kitchens. It occurred to me to ask folks in /r/kitchenconfidential for their experiences with autistics in kitchens—not for me but for the community here and on autistic subreddits. I think you'll be pleased by […]

Trek fans: you should know better! Stop with the #leomeme already! #startrekmemes

If you're a fan of BattleTech/Mechwarrior then it's a gloomy gloomy day. I wish this was a joke. #mechwarrior #battletech

@autistics Group still running? Seems to have been quiet lately.

Waiting for the "Star Citizen officially leaves beta" announcement. Come on. Someone has to try to pull off that joke.

There's a new game called "Data Center". And all I can think about is John from Silicon Valley. I knew a John like this.

JFC, Microsoft! As though AI isn't controversial enough, you go and keep enshittifying GitHub. And that's great. Because who needs software developers, right?

@gaghyogi49 Can I ask you to look into Crewman Daniels' tablet from Shockwave (2)? Or have you done that one already? 😄

Argh. Really want to take the wife to see Hail Mary and really really don't want to go to a movie theater. 🤦‍♂️ Movie theaters have been ruined for me since March 2020. Unless it's a matinee and basically empty, nope. And most of the fun of going to the theater is the social experience. May […]

A bit of a tangent from my usual posts but: Mechwarrior 5's Shadow of Kerensky DLC is brilliant! It's the best DLC by far of all of them in the 5 years since the game's release. It almost feels like a new game!

@autistics Me when I believe that this time my "imagined" nervous system issues won't be a problem. FML #actuallyaudhd

Here's my utility added to the world today.

#theonion going hard at #samaltman. It's hard to pick, but I think this is my favorite line: "Why did you decide to devote your life to AI? I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated." #openai #funny #Humor […]

I missed out on yesterday but here's Sox. Elegant and graceful. #caturday #catsofmastodon

Two great things that don't go great together: I love my coffee. I love my Vyvanse. I do not love my coffee with my Vyvanse. And yet I find myself partaking of both. I wish I could stop hitting myself this way.

This is the coolest thing I have seen in weeks: https://youtu.be/EllYgcWmcAY?si=EEcYn7-j4FJJOCbH Actually featuring Brian May and Brian Blessed. You'll get this if you're old as dirt or into cult films. Also, it was for a cause.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@axios/116217076191881306 The idea that the White House should even voice opinions over news organization hires is insane.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@shriramk/116200229417467097 WTAF????? This clipping is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. Granted, I have only *heard* Tucker Carlson's mouth making sounds that could be generously called words.

MacBook Neo: Proving that iPads could run MacOS whenever Apple (never) allows them to.

@autistics Rejected by a lawyer for SSDI representation because they don't see me as a winning (or likely winning) case. SSDI lawyers are only allowed to collect some percentage of back benefits. Of course they gamify the system by representing those most likely to win. So those of us […]

#StarFleetAcademy No spoilers After S01E08, I finally get it. I can now frame SFA as Trek. Or, that is, I can frame it in a way that I recognize from my GenX lifetime of watching syndicated TOS, seeing all of the films between several and dozens of times, though to the present. SFA isn't […]
