They're just straight up calling autism a social contagion now. Exactly the same thing they did to trans people.
This image appears to be a thumbnail for a video titled "The Autism Social Contagion Caught Her. Then She..." from the YouTube channel @jeremyboreing.
### Alt Text
A man and a woman sit facing each other in a dimly lit, sophisticated study for an interview. The man sits on a tufted leather sofa on the left, leaning forward slightly, while the woman sits in a formal armchair on the right. Between them is a dark wood coffee table and a large stone fireplace with a wooden mantel. The room features dark walls, built-in bookshelves, and two sets of large French doors in the background. Below the image, video text includes the title and the view count.

A person buys a game on Switch 2. They do not realize there might not be any cartridge, and what they'd essentially bought was a box with a download code. They express their irritation online, and are met with people telling them they should've known. What the actual carp is wrong with people?

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this
The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.
Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.

TN is considering a new bill that allows parents to sue large platforms that allow "material harmful to minors"— including sculpture, drawings, photos, music or video games— that describe or depict nudity, sex or "excessive violence" The censorship that started with "porn" is coming for everything.
(1) Any picture, photograph, drawing, sculpture, motion picture film, video game, computer software game, or similar visual representation or image of a person or portion of the human body, that depicts nudity, sexual conduct, excess violence, or sado-masochistic abuse, and that is harmful to minors; or
(2) Any book, pamphlet, magazine, printed matter, however reproduced, or sound recording, which contains any matter enumerated in subdivision (a)(1), or that contains explicit and detailed verbal descriptions or narrative accounts of sexual excitement, sexual conduct, excess violence, or sadomasochistic abuse, and that is harmful to minors.

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

It doesn’t matter that Don Lemon hired a superstar attorney or that the case against him is meritless. There are too many journalists with far less money and far fewer resources than Lemon who will be more cautious going forward. That was the intent, and that’s the main problem.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Speaking as the president of an NGO and as a trans woman: when orgs decide to abandon a group, to sacrifice them, it is not that group’s job to “understand how hard it would have been to fight.” If trans people hope to survive, it is our job to make that abandonment costly as hell. Make them hurt.

If we are understanding and kind when orgs abandon us, that makes it even easier for the next org to make that same decision. If, instead, abandoning us means your reputation gets trashed, other orgs sever ties with you, and you get protests at yr places - that raises the costs of that decision.
