The more that I see stories and hear podcasts about the horrors and delusion invoking nature of AI, the more I think neurotypicals are not emotionally advanced enough to use it. AI is not your friend or therapist, it’s coded software to use as a tool. #Autism

I’m not a fan of AOC, and yet, if she does not primary Chuck Schumer, she condones his “leadership”.

As I meal prep for the week, I ponder why it takes me a while to try out new appliances. A memory surfaces of my mother telling me that she was teaching me to cook because I’m so particular with food that I would never have a wife. She didn’t understand #Autism but the signs were always there.

“Dozing Donnie” has a ring to it. Jus Sayin’
Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office
He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

The deification of another politician has begun. Mamdani showed respect. The bigger you build him up, the greater he will fall for doing human things. Right now, he’s just a good politician that showed how to get elected. He hasn’t governed yet. Let it breathe.
This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened.
He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

I will stand with the Starbucks strikers by continuing to not go to Starbucks for overpriced burnt coffee.

Just for the record. Mamdani is now the face of NYC. He is not the face of the Democratic Party. He is a regional politician.

It’s called kickbacks. Developers and the Mob been doing it for years. Wonder where DJT learned it?

I am not a New Yorker and whatever happens in NYC has no bearing on my daily life. It is ironic that the opposition to Mamdani are afraid that he will do to NYC what DJT is currently doing to the rest of us.

Crazy year. Left a job from burnout and micromanagement. Joined a nonprofit. Got recruited away by an old boss for more pay, then she got fired without warning. Chaos ever since. Now my old job wants me back for even more money and new leadership. Wild how life spins. #Autism
