I’m immensely proud of B’s book on ADHD. I’m reading the chapter now on social systems and my heart is breaking for Darius.
This book will change things. And man, do things need to change.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

If we can't get this destructive, asinine regime out of power soon they will permanently damage our relationships around the world. This damage will not only hurt us strategically, but financially as well.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

It's such a sad thing about human nature - say you absolutely loathed a book and everyone wants to know what it was.
Mention a book you loved, recommend it for readers, and the world is a chorus of crickets.
Y'all just want to hate on stuff

"And the doctor took this little flashlight, a little flashlight with a magnifying glass on it, I guess, and he looked in my ear and he said, with tears in his eyes, he said he could see my big beautiful brain in there, working hard and churning out the smarts, the chimneys smoking and everything"
Trump: "I took my physical. I got all As. Everything. But they said to me, 'would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Is it hard?' They said, 'yes.' I said, 'Well, I'm a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?' 'No president has ever agreed to take one' ... I aced it."

These debates about accommodations for autistic and ADHD people always seem predicated on the false idea there is some generous but zero-sum basket of resources.
There isn’t.
We’re usually talking about things like extra time, instruction clarification, wearing headphones, or using fidget tools.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?
