Recently a school I know of was offering a "Reality Maze" for the students. When I was told a description of the event....wtf!!! That's a goddamn evangelical Christian Hell House with the serial numbers filed off.

My autistic daughter struggled in traditional high school - a GPA in the low 2s. She got into a STEM program administered through local community college and her GPA shot up to 3.9, she completed graduation requirements at the end of her junior year.

Here's this week's Better Offline: I'm joined by Cal Newport and @adambecker.bsky.social to get the word out that the narrative about existential risk from AI is driven by a religious cult of effective altruists and rationalists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oVS... linktr.ee/betteroffline

Just a friendly reminder that open enrollment for insurance is coming up this year. Don't forget: "Medicare Advantage" IS. NOT. MEDICARE. (it's also called: "Medicare Part C" which is confusing) Don't let slick ads/snazzy flyers fool you. Avoid MA plans like your life depends on it. Bc it does. 1

I'm just not that interested in reading people lecture trans people about not voting for anti-trans dem candidates when a Democratic Party US Senator spoke at the Republican convention and not a damn thing has happened to him from the party.

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

It’s weird OpenAI does stuff like dropping $22million to steal the solution to a math problem that doesn’t really need to be solved in that way for any practical purposes in the first place, and we’re supposed to pretend this is the next evolution of human nature or else we’re basically anti-vaxxers

They are an industry built on theft and lies. It doesn't matter if the power is true. Enough of them believe it is and they have enough wealth and power that their magical crashout won't just hurt themselves, it will wreck world economies and I can't even guess at how many lives.

Entomomancer @entomomancer.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

What's relevant is they've got trillions of dollars behind them, no one with ANY grounding in charge anywhere, and they are scaring themselves and anyone without any psychic/mental/social shielding into believing the world is ending. Scared people do NOT make good decisions.

start to foam at the mouth and write shit all over themselves and the walls...that's some scary shit. Not because they've got AGI or superintelligence. At this point it's irrelevant if they do. (I don't think they do).

Occult folks like me have heard the stories or seen someone we know first hand mess up their minds and their lives. But by all the spirits, watching an ENTIRE industry, backed by an obscene amount of wealth, lacking any kind of grounding, discernment, or skepticism...

Entomomancer @entomomancer.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Putting on my occultist hat, this is just wild to me. I believe, for myself, some pretty wild things and I've experienced some pretty crazy things. There is always a small part of me that wonders if I'm just fucking with my own mind. People destroying their lives in the occult is common enough.

Spring '24, the analysis of Nikki Haley primary voters? These were SUPPOSED to be voters that Liz Cheney, The Lincoln Project, The Bulwark had influence with and they brought practically none of them to vote for Harris. I'm tired of this breathless Cheney nonsense when they bring no one with them.

I joined DSA a couple months ago. I have SO many options to engage: working groups, education classes, meetings, classic election time stuff. I'm past the need, but they have CHILDCARE for meetings. The DSA may lose a bunch in the next 10 years because boomers suck, but the Dem Party is fucked.

Entomomancer @entomomancer.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm nobody but this is what I see. The last Republican i voted for was Dole/Kemp as i began my deconstruction from the toxic Christianity of my youth. In the years since I've tried engaging with the Democratic Party but all they want is phone calls, door knocking, and money come election time.

I mean, I did go through a brief outlaw country phase a long time ago. I'm nowhere near well versed on the genre or artists, but there was a blip where their songs about being out of step with society landed in my then undiagnosed autistic boy heart.

Entomomancer @entomomancer.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I don't really listen to country music. I stumbled across Luke Bryan via some cursed algorithm choice. I'm not southern, and I haven't worked on a farm or lived rural in a LONG time, but Luke Bryan lyrics are some real suburban white boy experience music and I will not be convinced otherwise.

It is depressing the number of groups that are Facebook that I would like to join but won't because Facebook. Also depressing is the number of volunteer organizations I have been interested in participating in, dominated by Boomers, that are like "we meet on Thursdays at 10 am." Bleak.

Dude is literally a VC. Like, even if I'm not being cynical, I can now understand how his project brain kicked in, started analyzing the stakeholders, pain points/roadblocks, and offered this bloodless analysis. If I'm being cynical, it's a bluesky pitch deck for something he's trying to land.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't have a real answer either. At least 3 times in my professional career I've been pushed out or fired for saying truth. And in each case the things I called out were addressed after I was gone. I've learned to moderate and mask and look for places that get me.

And us autistic people often have a sensitivity to injustice and a hyperfocus on things and too many neurotypical people are just like "it is completely normal for a company made uncomfortable by an autistic person to get them fired so they are no longer uncomfortable". NTs, man, NTs.

I hear you. And I'm not advising anything for you to do because the field is not level. But I am pointing out a big name tenured prof in your shoes would already have a lawsuit and probably get a payout when they won the case. Academia, like all other institutions in the US, sucks at solidarity.

Though it would be more appropriate for a science journo to run with it. Its a story that's got political corruption, waste, and cowardice from your scientific peers.

I mean, from an outsider perspective there is a story here. You criticized the company for valid reasons about it's AI use, this criticism led to you being fired, and now company that you criticized is shutting down that thing, wasting all the effort people put into it with uploading images.

Entomomancer @entomomancer.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Until I live in a society where autism isn't just a "you" problem, I think solidarity in public is the way. We can talk about differences in private but in the American public it will only ever be used to deny people help.
