Just recently remembered that the flag of Superman’s home planet Krypton that appeared in Silver Age stories looks a lot like the flag of Oz from the Oz book series.

Just thinking about how FLCL / Fooly Cooly and The Adventures of Pete & Pete are both surreal coming of age stories with rock soundtracks provided by a single band.

I feel like some AI generated media I see online is historically and culturally significant, even if it says nothing positive about our time.

This makes a lot of sense as a next step in the eugenicist project targeting autistic people: Cast doubt on whether “useful” autistic people are truly autistic.
Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

MrBeast is provoking discourse that was once reserved only for Batman. How much did it cost to design, build and operate this “safe” burning building? What made this baffling contraption essential to MrBeast’s supposedly noble philanthropy?
Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

This has nothing to do with Pritchard’s resumé as an individual. The message here is that as a woman, Pritchard is ideologically opposed to the interests of men, as well as all common sense and reason (to the extent those things are separate from the interests of men). He’s saying

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.

The idea that mothers cause their children to become autistic is older than the claim that vaccines or Tylenol cause autism. It was once believed that autism was caused by emotional neglectful “refrigerator mothers.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrige...

Reminder that autism is understood to have existed before it was identified as a diagnosable condition and there is historical evidence of people with autism-like traits existing prior to the emergence of autism as a diagnosis.

Reminder not to rely on TV shows and movies about autistic people to teach you everything you need to know about how to support autistic people in real life.

Reminder that an autistic person’s ability to do “simple things” like tie shoelaces is not a reliable indicator of their ability to perform complex tasks or develop specialized skills

Reminder that an autistic person’s perceived “level of functioning” can vary based on context and change over the short and long term.

Reminder that many autistic people worry that they are only valued to the extent that they are useful to society and are not told often enough that they have an intrinsic right to exist.

Reminder that taking Tylenol does not cause autism and joking about taking Tylenol to make yourself or your unborn child autistic (positive) contributes to the legitimacy of that dangerous lie

Frankie appears to be missing both of her top canine teeth. It’s implied that Sparky pulls Frankie’s teeth out as punishment. Canine teeth are also called “fangs,” which means you could say Frankie has been defanged.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
