So when my therapist told me to be prepared for flashbacks, weird dreams, and associated emotional instability I assumed she meant it would be about the trauma we discussed.

I love how prepared for violence Hinako is, like some survival horror you can't really buy the MC as being able to fight for their lives, but Hinako acts like she's just been waiting to physically assault someone with a rusty pipe and this is her excuse.

Four bull elk took time away from mating to join the No Kings protest in Estes Park, Colorado. That’s how serious this is.

With alt text, and it is beautiful ☺️

To the Editor:

I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body.

I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate.

For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

it does not necessarily mean this though, because the dominant way people end up on Wikipedia is through Google, and Google has loaded the top of all of its search results with AI-mediated info taken from Wikipedia. This does not mean consumers prefer it this way, the choice has been made for them

Jeremy Lewi @jeremy.lewi.us · 1d

AI is separating the production and consumption of information. If direct access to Wikipedia is dropping that suggests information consumers find AI mediated consumption more useful. This will impact the production of information; including the economic model

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

The Fox Bride is considered mighty omen. Folklore has it to see one transforming at dusk of dawn is to have sign of fortune shifting – for good or for ill. However, few tales feature folk brave enough to follow the Fox Bride into the woods as she sheds her clothes and grows her fur. – #EmilyCBanting

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.
