ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

With Firefox enabling sanitizer API in nightly, I'm pretty excited to see if frameworks will pick this feature up sooner rather than later and offer an alternative to "dangerouslySetInnerHtml". I can see a setHTML and setHTMLUnsafe directive pair letting users pass in options to those functions.

Make Abhorrent Ideas Socially Unacceptable Again
Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally.
Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

Progressives really hope, and maybe even believe, that there is some magic thing they can hijack to attract conservative voters.
The focus on this mythical quest is the central reason they lose.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.
Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

Jay's being a little selective with the truth here - harassing the *mods* into banning someone doesn't work.
Harassing the executives into ordering people banned or suspended absolutely DOES work, so long as you do it in a newspaper column or editorial.
