Trump, RFK, and their cronies likely want to create the (false) perception that autism is preventable and curable, because that allows them to: 1) cut accommodations, services, and support for autistic kids and their families, and 2) blame mothers for autism in ways that make (1) seem justified. 1/

As we're moving away from televised/streamed media I want to remind you.There are places all across the country where a myriad of entertainment awaits. It's called a library.You can walk in & read a book or use a computer for free. You can even take a book(s) home & be entertained For free. Imagine

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I want to give a little shout out to a late in life venture - A Walk in the Woods. Redford excels at romance and it’s a great bromance.

One of my favorite films as a kid! I need to see it again.

It’s perfect and perfectly cast.

But isn’t Islamic terrorism also often motivated by anti-colonialism, which isn’t necessarily right or left?

Guarantee he can’t name a single Redford movie off the top of his head.

And this is the only reason I think he might not drop out. The gravy train needs to run another 6 weeks.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

This is why you don’t see these crimes so much with city kids. My city kid plays with other kids so often. We just returned from an evening picnic in Prospect Park with 5 other families. Offline rules.

Unfortunately there are few incentives and reminders for this. Instead of relying on human consistency we can design systems that reduce human error.

Enforcement of existing traffic laws would be an amazing improvement too.

The groypers have embraced it but the why of it is a long convoluted story.

You can blame the deliverista, you can blame the double parker, but the real blame lies with this city which treats protected bike lanes like the rarest of jewels to be passed out in paltry portions. All bike lanes should be protected. There’s no excuse.

Just passed a fatal accident at 3rd & St Marks in Brooklyn. A bystander told me a deliverista was riding around a car that was double parked when the driver doored him, sending him over his handlebars to be crushed by an oncoming truck.

If we had protected bike lanes this wouldn’t happen.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.
