It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

What establishment Dems tried to do to Mamdani, the BC NDP successfully did to Anjali Appadurai.
She was poised to win the leadership race by actually getting people to join the party. The old guard didn't like that, so they crushed the next generation to maintain their grip on power.

🤔 CHIMPS CAN WEIGH EVIDENCE AND UPDATE THEIR BELIEFS LIKE HUMANS DO 🤔
We consider "belief revision"—thinking about thinking—a hallmark of human rationality. But as Cody Cottier reports for Scientific American, new research on our primate cousins suggests we are not alone.

Government operations are the backbone of investing in Canada.
This is a neoliberal agenda nobody asked for.
This is a neoliberal agenda nobody asked for.
To build the Canada we want for ourselves, we have to make responsible choices and bet big on Canadians.
We’re going to cut waste and spend less on government operations — so we can make the big investments that will grow our economy and create new opportunities for Canadians.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.
