One explanation for why autistic girls often get later diagnoses than boys is NOT because the girls don’t have autistic traits, but that younger autistic girls are better able to mask, or “keep it together,” in school than younger autistic boys. autisticgirlsnetwork.org/five-to-twel...

From the govt's press release: "The developer estimates that Jackdaw will create 27 new direct jobs and safeguard 273 existing jobs that would otherwise be lost." Odd that so much is made about this being good for jobs. Your nearest out-of-town supermarket likely generates more jobs.

This is exactly the principle that has fucked up everything from deli flyers to UX in billion-dollar products Once upon a time, even if you were doing something on your own, it took long enough to do that it made you think about what you were doing! You had time to think "hang on, this sucks."

The worst thing about Bioware shutting down is the shitty treatment of the people working for it. But also it's becoming clear that they had assembled an absolutely elite team of modern science fiction writers to write the next Mass Effect game, and man it hurts that we'll never get to see it.

I've only taught informally, but for me there was a lot of adjusting to the individual as well: one child might more scaffolding or they'll give up because of the friction, others might go alone sooner. And the same children might do differently in different situations!

‘By treating people’s lives as secondary at best, neoliberalism creates an intolerable status quo and once again paves the way for fascism.’ We do this despite knowing better, despite the possibility + the desire of the majority – for a better economic system, circular, regenerative, fossil free.

I also feel obliged to point out that after Nintendo released the Wii U to commercial failure, in order to prevent layoffs, Satoru Iwata took a 50% pay cut. That should be a reminder that while 400 ppl lost their jobs, Andrew Wilson never took a pay cut to prevent it.

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

My coworker's mother passed away last
November.
She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.
He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.
Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.
Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.

He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.
The caseworker sighed and told him:
"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."
He offered to pay a monthly settlement.
They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.
A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.
You don't own generational wealth.
You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.
