Portland, OR mayor Keith Wilson responding to public demands that ICE's land use permit be rescinded after they gassed thousands of peaceful men women and children.
Kinda curious what "the course" we should stay is here, Keith? Watching ICE gas, abduct and sometimes shoot our neighbors?

The manual actually predates the CIA. It was published by the OSS for distribution in Italy, Germany, and Nazi occupied Europe to encourage people to sabotage the Axis war effort.
What’s darkly funny is that there’s an old CIA manual about this, and how if enough people do it, it can destabilize a country. It’s still on their website right now after being declassified in 2008.

My sociology degree is far more useful in helping me to understand and navigate this current political moment than my law degree. It says a lot about the importance of that discipline that it is completely censored in Florida.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.

The majority of people with really intense hyperfixations aren't autistic. That doesn't make it any less a critical part of autistic people's experience but it can really become a problem when people start getting the idea that everyone who has anything in common with autistic people is autistic.

There tends to be a kind of desire to lump all neurodivergent people into the autism category that erases the fact that there's a lot of diversity. The whole concept of neurodivegence exists because people with so many different things going often share very specific experiences in common.

There certainly were lots of people on the spectrum in the past. But also hyperfixation and special interests aren't just characteristic of people on the spectrum. They're super common in people with ADHD, OCD, Tourrettes, Schizophrenia, and PTSD too among others. And they can be just as intense.

This is slightly misleading. The wildcat subspecies that became domesticated cats, Felis lybica lybica, is native in Egypt and the near east. That makes it fairly difficult to show that a specific cat found there was definitely associating with humans.
ATTENTION: DOMESTICATED CATS WERE PRESENT IN POLAND 8000 YEARS AGO WHICH IS FAR OLDER THAN IN EGYPT
