Didnt realise this was out but I read an early draft and it was the best thing i've read on neurodiversity in years. It surely got a lot better by the time it was published. I'm excited to read the final version.
In We See Things They’ll Never See, Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday show how neurotypical hegemony reproduces a culture of exclusion—and how to overcome this with love, hope, and solidarity.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Worth always keeping in mind that the Guardian has a commercial partnership with OpenAI, so nothing it writes about AI can be trusted
Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

What is important to remember is that the initial installation of the Robert E. Lee portrait had little to do with history. It was installed in the 1950s. To understand why you need to appreciate the vagaries of historical memory. The relevant history or context is the 1950s and not the 1860s.
