Murdoch Mysteries put up a board of a cryptogram and pretended it was a scary concept that the letters could stand for any other letter at random. 😱 So I took a picture on a clear shot and paused the show to solve it for fun. It was easy, but there were a few transcription errors...

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

So if data centers are about gathering data to better read or minds to manipulate us, and autistic minds are rather opaque to neurotypicals (and thus to the predictive algorithms created by neurotypicals), then that could be another part of why they are pushing so hard to erase autism.

The other thing that gets me is they act like AI is a mystical creature & if we banish it, it can never return what kind of cultist BS are we tryin to pull? There’s no switch or permanent ban that can’t be re-worked for the stuff that adds value and not just delusion & ego for the rich & foolish

Samuel Butler strikes again. Erewhon (Victorian satire) has a chapter where the people of this hidden culture go through a phase of not only being vegetarian due to not wanting to hurt animals, but going so far as to not eating any currently living vegetable matter. It was a short lived phase.

In one article highlighted, a 19yo man accused of raping his 19yo girlfriend was referred to as a "teen" but she, despite being a few months younger, was referred to as a "woman." They pointed out how the word choices deliberately painted him as less mature and suggested SHE took advantage of HIM.

Women, on the other hand, were most often referred to as "girl" even into her late 30s...unless she was alleging SA. Then she was a "woman" or even "underage woman" (which is, of course, a nonsense term to avoid using "girl.")

I remember reading an article once looking at the age coding language around SA reporting and women in general (mostly in local papers). They found that men, 18 and up, were pretty consistently referred to as men...unless they were accused of SA and they it was "boy," "young man," or "teen."

Adults banning books with ideas they're too afraid to face and also fearing the generation after will think about it and then make the current adults face it anyway when these kids grow up. Which is what these adults need to do: grow up!

Exactly the same thing happened with Gisele Pelicot. Some men showed up, saw she was unconscious and walked away. They didn’t rape her; but they also didn’t help her. They patted themselves on the back for being “good men” because they didn’t participate, but they allowed it to happen.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

Just a reminder that expanding public benefits is good for public safety. Expanding Medicaid ➡️ fewer arrests
Chart of arrows showing that at the county level, after Medicaid expansion, arrest rates decreased by 20% for all offenses, decreased by 19% for violent offenses, decreased by 24% for low-level offenses, and decreased by 25% for drug offenses.

When I'm on the phone with one friend, I'm always guessing what she's doing by the background noises. It's like a game for us. But then I'm also asking her to repeat herself bc the words didn't process clearly and I got lost or confused in the conversation.
