one of the hardest parts of being diagnosed with autism at 30 is that it's easy to see every reaction someone has to my words or behavior as them "clocking" me. neurotypical people sense something off about you and treat it as a red flag often enough that it's hard to tell whether it's happening.

French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Dems' biggest mistake has been running to clear rakes out of Trump's path all year. Some of those rakes may hurt people, myself included. But you have to let your enemy step on them when the alternative is that they win total control of everything and build death camps.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

A fire broke out, closing down the final climate negotiations for the new pact. www.bbc.com/news/article...

you can't expect me, a random person in your replies whom you did not know was autistic, to understand dry sarcasm

love this for us.

The Trump administration, with help from the formerly reputable ADL, has muddied the water around antisemitism so much that now, when actual antisemitic things happen, nobody even tries to talk about it. Thanks to @nberlat.bsky.social for stepping into that void.

Amazing stuff

Are any editors interested in a review of WAKE UP DEAD MAN? I saw the movie earlier this month at Denver Film Festival, and I have Thoughts(tm)

The fuck are we even doing here anymore. Fuck these Nazi scum. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

@edmarkey.bsky.social if you really want to support trans people, start by withdrawing support for dangerous censorship Bills like the Kids Online Safety Act. KOSA is a Trojan Horse- promising ‘safety' when it will actually harm LGTBQ kids by blocking life-saving resources online.

"Many OnlyFans creators turned to the platform, and to online sex work more generally, when they’re not able to obtain employment at traditional workplaces." This move is pure cruelty disguised as common sense, and yet another in an ongoing string of attacks on SWers www.404media.co/onlyfans-bac...

“Elon’s blowjob prowess edges out Trump’s—his precision engineering delivers unmatched finesse."

It's no secret that 2025 has given Americans plenty to protest about. But as news cameras showed protesters filling streets of cities across the country, cops were watching those streets through different lenses: Flock Safety license plate readers that tracked every car. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We're in this weird zone where racism and bigotry aren't censored online, but human bodies are. I miss when things were the other way around.

These bills mask themselves in “child safety” but are far-reaching attacks on the first amendment that could also serve to ban all sorts of protected content online. From anatomy textbooks to romance novels and more. The overreach is egregious and endangers everyone online.

It is time to stop having people pleaser autism. I will now begin my evil autism phase.

The acceleration of open Nazism and its language by those at the highest level is going to end in bodies and mass terror. This is literal Neo Nazi and white power propaganda coming from Abbott and the republicans.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Corruption right in front of your eyes: 1) Bennet says he wants universal healthcare. 2) DaVita drops $50K into his Super PAC. 3) Suddenly Bennet claims he “can’t do anything” on healthcare as Governor. This is what bought-and-paid-for politics looks like.

fun thing about autism is that sometimes you'll ask someone if they need you to clarify a thing you said and they'll react as if you're calling them stupid. no, actually, I'm simply accustomed to not being understood and need to know we're on the same page. you're misunderstanding me as we speak.

Fuck this dude. Literally making excuses for murdering and dismembering a journalist in an embassy.

DAILY MEMO: More Than 30 People Taken in At Least 30 Raids During Saturday Through Monday Rains

Biggest takeaway from all the dudes associated with Epstein is that these guys were just absolutely pathetic. What do you mean you texted your pedophile friend for advice on how to date a student? You're a bitchmade loser is what you are.

I was a debate kid and I was very proud to tell people that I had on two separate occasions caused a member of the opposing team to leap across the table and attempt to body tackle me. In other words, I was a freakish little ghoul.

Here's my review of Gemini in Google Home. Spoiler: AI was the last thing my smart home needed www.slashgear.com/2025559/can-...

Around 70 percent of states in the contiguous U.S. have seen declining snowfall in recent winters, although parts of the West and some of the South have experienced more snow. See how snowfall is changing across the United States here:

When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

Impossible to convey how shocking this video is, even as a tech reporter who's been on this beat and as someone involved in fighting Flock in my local community. @bennjordan.bsky.social continues to be one of the best YouTubers documenting the surveillance state. youtube.com/watch?v=uB0g...

Let's be very clear. This woman is still the absolute worst.

The Jared from Subway trial reveals a lost foot long sandwich recipe. Imagine waxing nostalgic for a world where child sexual abuse can be shielded from consequences right after it was revealed that your paper helped shield it

Sure enough, every American critic's review is like, "Who can even say what this show is about? Truly Vince has confounded us again!" Meanwhile he's got a scene where a Black delivery guy offers to give the rich white lady a nuclear bomb because he's scared she'll kill even more people otherwise.

When the US liberated Nazi concentration camps, many queer people stayed in prison because they were seen as having broken the law. Indeed, Paragraph 175, which criminalized gay intercourse in Weimar Germany & had been expanded to include intent by the Nazis, was not abolished by the US after WWII.

PLURIBUS (PLUR1BUS ?) is fantastic so far because Vince Gilligan basically made a show about how the average American would react if communism happened overnight. The part of the show where (minor spoiler) millions of people die when an entitled American gets angry at a brown person is not subtle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene increasingly appears to be a random white woman who sincerely drank the Trump kool aid, got elected by selling the kool aid back to voters, and then realized upon arriving in Washington that the entire MAGA thing is just smoke and mirrors

Here's what it looks like to lose a loved one to fascism. Not much to add except this sucks and if it can happen to a child of Holocaust survivors it can happen to anyone.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

Journalists aren’t allowed inside ICE detention centers. So ours went undercover. Inside Aurora’s GEO facility, they found hunger, neglect, and a system built to dehumanize those it holds. #ICEDetentionCenters #auroracolorado yellowscene.com/2025/11/10/s...

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

If porn makes you feel icky, you've got work to do unpacking some shit, but okay, don't watch it. What you do NOT get to do is dictate the sex lives of others. That's what fascists do.

SWERFism is rampant on the left. It is equally as fascistic as TERFism (and similarly hides behind "protecting women"), but because our culture makes us feel icky about sex, it's frustratingly difficult to make people understand that they're doing fascism when they take anti-porn stances.

Porn is also history and cultural commentary and a crucial contributor to sexual self- exploration and self expression. Porn has been vital to queer and trans people in documenting important aspects of our language, presentation, interactions, relationships, institutions and communities.

It's a big club and you ain't in it. And the club? It's a pedophile club. A big club for pedophiles.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

horrifying to think that a near fatal collision between the supreme court and queer marriage barely broke through the news cycle
