If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Btw if you read this and immediately thought “well not all men”… pause for a second. The men I trust are the ones who read what I just wrote and choose to listen, to empathize, to ask questions to better understand. They know they are not the men I am angry about and they don’t need say so.

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

The idea that everyone automatically gets a Personhood score of 1 is so deeply baked in to the worldview that it's hard to remember ever thinking otherwise. Plus it's maybe the only remaining community that's genuinely cross-cutting in terms of politics, ethnicity, religion, etc. Come hang out!

This is worth a long essay I don't have time to write, and which will probably offend people(?), but if you want a glimpse of a world where people are celebrated as people, period, no caveats, we already have it. And we could use volunteers.

the fact that nuremberg failed doesn't mean there's nothing worth studying. or even appreciating there. It's basically the first time we tried to hold a nation's leadership accountable for war crimes in such a way. but let's not pretend it was a success.

Autism acceptance isn't about pretending everything is fine if it isn't. It means understanding why autistic people do things, not blaming them (or your autistic self) when it's hard, or when you have competing needs. Ideally, it also means cherishing joy harder. (So much harder.) #neurodiversity

I mean the American right is fully committed to normalizing disability slurs and are finding a fertile audience across the political divide. Because ableism is really popular and easy for people to perform, even though they think they are good people.

if you insert a different word for a slur, and make it clear you mean the slur (perhaps in brackets! Perhaps in a reply), then you are using the slur.

The EA folks have always struck me as folks with a skewed notion of empathy so I’m on team “this was always the plan” Especially when you consider the frequency at which people accrue money and power with self serving “selfless” narratives while privately grabbing everything not nailed down.

Just go to therapy, bro.

DAVID JIANG, COFOUNDER and CEO of smart glasses company Viture, tells me about how he used to yell at his kid.

His 10-year-old son played tennis. During tournaments, Jiang says he had a habit of shouting and criticizing his son’s mistakes as he played. He wanted to apply pressure to make him succeed—it was the way he’d been taught to raise kids, after all. It made sense.

But then, unprompted, his smart glasses sent him a message. The AI assistant in his company’s newest wearable had picked up on what he was doing, recognized that his behavior wasn’t helpful, and messaged him about what he should do differently. Stop shouting. Stop criticizing. Just be there, be present, and show that you support your son. That worked, Jiang says, and being called out like that has supposedly made him a better father and improved the relationship with his kid, all thanks to his yet-to-be-released Vonder AI glasses.

It's a rookie mistake to buy your dog a RED BALL/TOY. Dog vision is dichromatic, meaning dogs can see greys, yellow & blues. A red ball, to dog-vision, is the same general color as green grass. Stick to blues & yellows for high pupper visibility. Dog Vision Simulator here: dogvision.com

From the Australian website "All Pets Education and Training":
"This image shows the picture as we see it on the left, and how our pups see it on the right."

A variety of toys are seen with human and pet vision.
