"Horseshoe Theory" is the theory that horses need shoes. It's controversial because most animals don't wear shoes.

Gods, growing up as a CSA survivor in the 80s and 90s - that whole "false memory" movement really fucked me up. The way my 3 yo brain coped with the abuse was to immediately repress the memories and deny anything happened to myself.

did y'all know that the lady behind the notorious "false memory syndrome" lost-in-the-mall study that has been used to discredit thousands of CSA survivors also provided "expert testimony" to ghislaine maxwell's legal team? and also glowingly reviewed abigail shrier's new book?
McHugh was constantly cited as an expert on how being trans is a "mental disorder" and "trans surgery isn't the solution", but aside from that he is a special kind of monster, accusing victims of pedophiles of having false memories. If you want more reading on him...

Now, I know what you're thinking: "CPSC, why does this look like the room where the bad guy from SAW makes his podcast." The thing you need to understand is that we're not like other agencies. We don't "have things" or "go to the store." We make our own way. We get what we get and we don't get upset

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

I think it's perfectly understandable that many people feel a deep sense of resentment and disenfranchisement for the time capitalism has stolen from them, but the answer is not to embrace capital's machine that pretends to show you an inner life you aren't having.

People are often more comfortable considering linear scenarios rather than network dynamics. In addition to trafficking people, Epstein trafficked information and connections and appears to have done so among transnational network.
Was Epstein a Russian agent? Was Epstein an Israeli agent? This debate that's is "either/or" is raging in social media right now. It's far off the mark. Epstein ran an operation on the model of Robert Maxwell, who networked with at least 7 intel agencies,

remember, all that a screen reader reads out for an image is “image:” and then whatever you put in the alt text field.
wouldn’t it be annoying to be trying to navigate the internet and find out what an image is, only to get a generic amazon product title’s worth of word salad?

Don’t stuff your alt text with keywords without context. If your alt text is just a collection of keywords, it will just sound like a gibberish string. It won’t describe what’s actually in the image, and won't help a blind user get a context or content of the image.

My step-dad accidentally ordered a sweatshirt from a MAGA company before realizing what they were and he's covered their weird logos with patches of our state WI flag and one of the Ukrainian flag. 😂
A group of local men are tackling the male loneliness epidemic by coming together to brainstorm ways to stop being mistaken for ICE.

Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Abolish the police. Abolish the prisons.
This is why we push back against reps who suggest DHS budgets should be "transferred" from ICE to local law enforcement.
Brutality still happens.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

"wait now you want to get rid of ALL the abusive & monstrous people???" Yes. Yes we do. There are more good people than bad in every industry, whole scads of people who'd never in their wildest dreams think of being systematically horrible & ask to be rewarded for it. Wild but true!
After the Spacey allegations came to light, a gross industry male asked me “jeez, who’s gonna be left?”
I was like - how about AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY FULL OF TALENTED - NON ASSHOLISH - PEOPLE WILLING TO DO THE WORK…?
There are plenty of good things made by good people with more on the way.

"can we separate the art from the artist," blargh, dunno, uhh, sigh. I get that some like exploring that, and maybe this is just from being asked that 2000 times, but it's lowkey a way of centering the abuser IMO. YMMV but overall i've come to regard that question in a very Admiral Acbkar way:
