The study, entitled “Why are they like that?”, seeks to investigate the causes of autism as conjectured by the highly opinionated loved ones and colleagues of autistic people, whose hot takes are infinitely more valuable than anything autistic people have to say.

Some of you folks, bless your hearts, are being way too lenient on Mr. Schumer. I get that some of you don't like attacking Democrats. I sympathize. I don't like doing it, either. But this is twice this year that Mr. Schumer has dropped the ball in a position of critical importance. No excuses.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Mail-in voting is highly secure AND Constitutional. Also, honestly, once you've experienced how it improves the voting experience you'll never want anything else.

I think Joyce Carol Oates has managed to be impossible to milkshake duck. Not because she hasn't said problematic things - she has. But she has said them in service to no higher goals. She's not trying to take over the government, or start a cult or a movement

Great @muellershewrote.com explainer of what's next for the shutdown. TL/DR YOU CAN STILL SAVE THE ACA. Flood Senate inboxes! Schumer: Whip your caucus. Yes votes (D or R): Flip your vote. No votes: Don't shorten waiting periods. Use procedure to delay. WE are more powerful than their donors!

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Since it’s @scaramucci.bsky.social talking about how Tim Mellon is the “Epstein connection you don’t know about,” I kinda wish I’d made the connection 11 days ago. But alas, it was two weeks ago.

Anyone in the vicinity of Denison TX looking to die horribly playing in a game of Delta Green I'm running should get a convention badge for Texoma Dungeon Con 06/26-28/2026. Wait- I mean, their character. Players aren't meant to die during Delta Green games. This is Texas however, so no promises.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
