Autistic Regulation Isn’t Calm – It’s Connection Regulation doesn't always mean what you think it does

Many of us look dysregulated when we’re actually fine.

Excitement gets labelled hyperactivity.

Passion gets labelled aggression.

Directness gets labelled conflict.

All because regulation has been defined through a neuronormative lens that prizes composure over truth.

Chevron updates timeline for gas-fired power plant project Chevron's first facility, to be based in West Texas, could come online in 2027, executives say

Still waiting for a godlike AI superintelligence to solve climate change.

Meanwhile, Chevron's soon reaching FID on a 2.5 to 5 gigawatt fossil-fuelled power station being built exclusively for data centres.

(while climate-tech folks dismiss this as a meaningless rounding-error nothing-burger)

We are highly concerned about far-right Zionist groups within our community spreading hate and recruiting children into their violent ideology. These groups are a threat to all of us and should be called out like any racist group. @sarahschwartz.bsky.social joined SBS to condemn this event.

Counterpoint: it's when you can't see it that you've got to worry.

Three months without a trace: the many unanswered questions surrounding Dezi Freeman As rumours whip around Victoria’s high country, police can’t rule out Freeman is still in the Porepunkah area, harboured by locals, but believe it’s unlikely

It was great to speak to Nino Bucci for this story

I don't allow myself to scroll, and I feel like a different person Shivani Damisetti realised social media was derailing her life. Now, she spends more time offline, a decision she's found transformative.

Good for her, I'm legitimately happy for this lady. Also I'm going to keep using social media because we don't deserve a better world.

Giving the Nazis days of nation-wide headline media coverage every time they do a ten minute photo op is not a good way to get them to stop doing photo ops.

one of the most harmful things about the contemporary internet is the propagation of conspiracy-type thinking en masse

it's gotten to the point where the average highly online person is part of at least one epistemological community that's totally divorced from the rest of reality

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.

Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?

If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.

No one should have that much.
