Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors. They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

"Accessing the supports my autistic son needs can be brutally difficult, especially as he and his peers transition into adulthood. But unlike grievance parents, I believe my son deserves respect and understanding—not grievance parents’ relentless exploitation of their children as burdens."

Something we all know but interesting still Extreme views and narratives are over-represented on social media.-FT

No reduction of crime will ever be treated as real because for so many people it is not connected to real life. It is just about their hatred of cities and their hatred of Black/Brown communities.

DC4420 is looking exciting this month! This Tuesday we're talking about (the dangers of) Copilot and more. The last few have been great - join us! dc4420.org #infosec #defcon #networking #london

THUNE: “.. If he wants to pursue litigation, .. that’s his prerogative. But again, my view is when it comes to the FCC, when it comes to governing authorities and governmental power, it shouldn’t be used in a coercive way when it comes to the First Amendment.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

When I wrote “We’re Not Broken," I barely mentioned Kennedy’s anti-vaccine nonsense and mentioned Trump’s past references because I figured it was in the rearview. I was far too naive. Trump's presidency will be the undoing of #Neurodiversity. My latest @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Everyone should print this 👇 out and read it every morning - Doublethink is being used daily in the media: 👀

A country where even mundane political disagreements, whether over universal healthcare or a political meme online, escalate into accusations of treason and calls for capital punishment is surely on the path to a bright future

It’s going to be a rough ride

Ding dong. Let's party.

It’s taking all of my self control to not send this to every mother fucker that said anyone that thought they’d try to do this was way off base.

One of our politicians in the UK is saying that GPs are overdiagnosing children with SEND and mental health conditions. I can only speak with authority about autism diagnoses, but I can tell you that they are torturously difficult to obtain. I wrote about it here: samwho.dev/blog/getting...

UK Government announcement of additional Online Safety Act regulations, not yet published www.gov.uk/government/n... Note the direction of travel: OSA requirements that currently oblige platforms to proactively "protect" children from content will be extended to protect adults.

How did I misplace an entire kilo of silica beads?

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

This is what communities are about. It isn't knuckle dragging morons disrespecting the flag to spread hate, it is people like Crystal Clean Windows. We saw it after the riots last year. The far right are not representative of local communities. H/t to @ottoenglish.bsky.social for the original post.

Remember this when RFK Jr. and Trump talk about autism: Molly Losh, a professor at Northwestern University, had a grant to study social language abilities among #ActuallyAutistic Englisn and Cantonese Speakers. But Trump's war on Northwestern killed it. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Awesome

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

Late notice! DC4420 is tonight! If in London and in security, come on by! dc4420.org #security #defcon #meetup

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Today in #darkmodefail (@trustpilot.bsky.social)

Pritzker has been one of the few Democratic voices who has not really deviated on supporting transgender people.

"Overton Window" Ah yes, let's ensure the leftists can't use a term coined by the right for managing political conversations. Hermeneutic coercion is real. (Many other very good takes on the broader points - I'm focusing on how this one term has been included.)

Inside you are two wolves, five sled dogs, eight Norwegian research scientists, Bennings, Norris, Palmer, Windows, Fuchs, Nauls, Blair, Garry, and Doc Copper.

There is a lot less news reporting coming out of Gaza since Israel killed the entire Al Jazeera team of journalists.

“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

War criminal has landed on US soil to a red carpet.

Also something I notice: Bernie seems FAR more willing to criticize Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris than he is willing to criticize Joe Biden.

Yet again conservatives are melting down about the foreseeable consequences of conservative policies. We’re in a death spiral now where they tank the economy and cut welfare, then fearmonger about the resulting increase in visible poverty and addiction.

A couple hours ago I put on am ambience generator for Mexico City. Now I can't find it in me to turn it off.

There is no universe in which this is defensible.

The Online Safety Act has been here in the UK for about a month now, and still I can't get @bsky.app 's verification service to initiate at all. When I tested Discord (same KWS service for verification) it worked fine. Has BSky's verification worked for anyone?

Statehood for D.C. now.

Either this is "flooding the zone with shit" to distract, or it is full-on, intentional fascism. You don't accidentally delete precisely the US Constitution's article on "habeas corpus" after the current discussion on ICE's violent and unconstitutional kidnappings. Also, SCOTUS *is* already rigged🙄

I’ve written, alongside colleagues, to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair. We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing. The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

I just went to make a phone call. I went out of my way to pair my headset with my desktop and prepare for the call before I remembered that I literally have a device built for this purpose. pls send help, i may be too far gone

Gatwick and Heathrow have grounded all departing flights following a radar failure affecting the wider London area. The issue is set to leave passengers facing major delays, with details suggesting a widespread issue affecting London Air Traffic Control.
