You can’t build an autistic-friendly life with neuronormative tools.

That’s why so many of us stay stuck - the map we were given wasn’t written for us.

You need a new framework, not a new mindset.

What we lose when we surrender care to algorithms | Eric Reinhart A dangerous faith in AI is sweeping American healthcare – with consequences for the basis of society itself

I have a feature essay for The Guardian today on the mirage of AI medicine, why care cannot be automated, and how overwhelming uptake of AI by American health capitalism threatens to undermine the very possibility of democracy.

This claim about the EU by our government is a lie.

Homelessness has been effectively eliminated in Finland. There are 1000 long-term homeless people left in the entire nation of 5 million people and the Finnish government aims to reduce that to zero within two years.

Well done The Greens in the UK passing a motion to designate the IDF a terrorist organisation

Éire needs to designate the IDF a terrorist organisation - slaughtering & maiming people, murdering journalists & healthcare workers, destroying hospitals & schools

“The [US] plan directs aid exclusively to areas controlled by the Israeli occupation army, in coordination with Tel Aviv and with the participation of Arab and Western NGOs, without consulting any Palestinian body.”

So more sadistic “humanitarian” kill zones.

NYT story with the headline “Trump cuts refugee admissions and prioritized white South Africans”

NYT story with the headline “Trump cuts refugee admissions and prioritized white South Africans”

When I read headlines like this, I always think of Paul Farmer who said “The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world”

So @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu President of the EU, was going outside her mandate declaring EU support for Israel while Germany coordinated with Israel before ICJ testimony.

Way beyond time for her to go.

College Professor here. She’s right. Studies have shown that students who take notes in class using pen/pencil and paper retain the information longer and more accurately than those taking notes on their laptops or tablets.
