Miss me with all of the takes about how x cuisine is actually appropriative and inauthentic. Or whatever it is.

(Having said that, Chicago pizza will always be inferior to New York.)

I don't like being That Person, but after having been recently diagnosed with a lifelong chronic illness that means I can't eat most things any more, I have zero patience for people who want to get super-political about food.

Be grateful that you can eat what you want and don't have to pay extra.

The ongoing insistence that Jews, wherever they are from, have no legitimate connection to the foodways of the PLACES THEY ARE FROM is one of the more disgusting forms of Jew hatred I see on this site.

all jokes aside I'm glad they haven't brought any of this ghost runner bullshit to the playoffs

you want to win a playoff game you had best find a way to manufacture a run from scratch like the baseball gods intended

I’m not autistic, just a parent to an autistic kid w/ fairly significant support needs, but I personally find it very frustrating to see so many people fixated on preventing, reducing, or “curing” autism and neurodiversity instead of talking about inclusion + getting folks whatever support they need

Every time I use a different computer, apparently I need to tell Microsoft Word, yet again, that I don't want their Copilot. Because I am a writer. Who writes things.

Is there a word processor that doesn't do this crap? (I have Scrivener and love it, but sometimes you just need something basic.)

The 2025 Yankees are uniquely talented at gaslighting their fans into believing they have It, and then pulling the rug out from under us.

Having said that, when they give us those moments it's magic.

Today, on the second anniversary of October 7, we pause to mourn, to grieve, and to remember.

Hey Kenny-

Author of a book Anthropic stole here. I consent to every library on earth having my book on loan.

I do not consent to billionaire tech bros stealing my work without my consent to destroy the planet/democracy etc. etc. because they want to become trillionaires.

I hope this helps!

Sure, Trump sucks on climate science. And virology. But, sure, he and his goons are fully equipped to "solve" autism!

Such magical thinking from people who never should have been taken seriously in the first place.

Anyone who thought that Trump and co. would focus on "gold standard science" is so unserious.

Yankees 8+ IP, 0 R, 12+ K in Postseason Game

Roger Clemens 2000 ALCS Gm 4 at SEA
526th career start (incl postseason)

Cam Schlittler 2025 ALWC Gm 3 vs BOS
15th career start (incl postseason)

Cam Schlittler

Into my veins

Yes, it's early, but right now it's hard to look at Cam Schlittler and NOT think we're witnessing the birth of a Yankee great.

HIT JUDGE ON THE FIRST PITCH.

Who does this schmuck think he is.

Oh, look. It's a team not the Yankees making critical defensive errors in the postseason.

Jazz Chisholm Jr and Ben Rice sure are positive-impact players. Wouldn't it be nice if they played everyday?

The whole push to make "stupid" into an ableist slur was conducted largely without the input of people with intellectual disabilities (ID).

People with ID are not stupid! They should be listened to. And disabled people without ID should not try to talk for them.

2025 SEASON WAR LEADERS: 1. Aaron Judge 2. Cristopher Sanchez 3. Paul Skenes 4. Shohei Ohtani 5. Cal Raleigh

Should I or should I note post this in one of those threads:

When you want to feel righteously angry over something that's objectively low-stakes, try reading FB comments about the AL MVP race. That's a real palette cleanser.

Autistic children--and non-autistic children--deserve thoughtful representation at a time when our "leaders" are spreading misinformation.

Think about reading my award-winning novel about an autistic girl who becomes a knuckleball pitcher:

Paul O'Neil played a World Series game despite his father passing away.

Matt Shaw didn't care about helping his team clinch the top Wild Card because his favorite podcaster died.

I don't want to watch a fucking video. I don't want the only instructions of how to do something to be in video format. I don't want my social media to be a bunch of videos. I should not have to bring headphones (or annoy everyone) to doom scroll on the train. GIVE ME TEXT.

"Autism is totally out of control"

Here's a challenge for male pundits & commentators:

When you talk about all the wicked things Charlie Kirk said, all the people he sought to disempower & hurt - maybe mention the gals.

I've seen almost no men raise his vile, dehumanizing male supremacism, aka misogyny.

Which you know what? Sucks.

Anyone who thinks Charlie Kirk's killing was "arguably the most-high profile killing of a political figure since the '60s" should be kept far, far away from a network newsroom.

What about Harvey Milk and George Moscone? Or Allard Lowenstein? Hell, Leo Ryan was gunned down at Jonestown!

When I see a traditionally published author defend piracy based on bad information, a part of my soul dies.

Doubly so if that same author has bragged about how many copies they've sold.
