IDEA just turned 50. Here’s to wishing the Act as many years as this nation needs to get its shit together in giving disabled people a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment possible. From the TPGA newsletter, by @ejwillingham.bsky.social:

No todo es conocimiento ni todo conocimiento es igual de aproximadamente fiel a la realidad. Pluralismo no significa ausencia de jerarquías.

Ahora, el mejor conocimiento disponible es la ciencia básica & aplicada, pero tampoco solamente estas: la tecnología y la filosofía rigurosa, también lo son.

Es una desgracia ver lo mucho que se ha dejado envenenar el pueblo chileno, que terminaron apoyando a un apologista de Pinochet por el eterno temor abstracto al comunismo.

En Chile la gente votó a un nazi defensor de pederastas porque le tienen miedo a una palabra que no entienden.

Read this thread.

It's exactly right. But also note on the internet related stories—the banning of TikTok and the attack on Sec 230—Democrats happily helped MAGA accomplish their goals and people have cheered it on.

Democrats trying to destroy 230 are not helping you. They're helping Trump.
There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."

It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

It's very clear people don't realize how terrifying measles is, or this would be front page news. Measles is absolutely brutal. Earlier this year a child died in years after recovering from the virus. Others experience vision and hearing loss, or have seizures.

Según este artículo, gran parte de los casos de estudio que Oliver Sacks recopilaba en sus libros eran en buena parte ficción, es decir, los casos en sí eran reales, pero Sacks modificaba ciertos elementos para, proyectar rasgos de su propia personalidad y su homosexualidad reprimida.
Incredible piece on Oliver Sacks. If you were ever awed at his supposedly true stories (I remember being stunned by the account of the autistic twins who rattled off large prime numbers), read this. He told wonderful stories, but they were in large part fiction.

And that's not even getting into the legacy transphobia that Northwestern HASN'T caved on over the years. Here's what I'll never understand: that university still had Bailey's back after the Fucksaw Incident, but won't defend either its trans people or its instructor's academic freedom.
Our regular contributor @funcrunch.me.dm.ap.brid.gy is also an alumnus of Northwestern. They wrote about their anger and disappointment after Northwestern caved on trans rights to secure federal funding from the Trump admin.

"Las personas desconfían de los medios y el gobierno por razones racionales. El problema es que aquellos como Owens pasan del hecho sensato y cierto de que aquellos en el poder tienen interés en ocultar verdades inconvenientes a ideas extravagantes acerca de lo que realmente es "la verdad"."
People distrust the media and government for rational reasons. The problem is that Owens leaps from the sensible, true fact that those in power have an interest in concealing inconvenient truths to outlandish ideas about what “the truth” actually is.
