I hate it here.

ASD and ADHD are not "caused" by anything.

Neurodivergent kids and adults are beautiful and important thinkers and creators.

And this announcement today -- where he can't even pronounce the name of the med -- is a witch hunt against pregnant people and neurodivergent folks.

You can't make up these headlines anymore. Insanity. Pure insanity.

The "buy Canada" thing is a little trite considering the collapse of democracy and the full stop hatred of equity is ~~~ everything everywhere all at once ~~~

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

To recap: 4 plane crashes in 3 weeks in North America; measles on the rise; Botulism recall; cancer research halted; HIV drugs pulled worldwide; anti-depressants under attack. Here we are, seemingly "on track" to making America healthy again. Timestamp it.

Unsurprisingly, the Canadian groundhog disagrees with his American counterparts this morning who did indeed see their shadows

May this trade war (and the realization that the US is in the hands of fascists) remind the Canadian electorate that we don’t want or need this garbage here.

Vote accordingly.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.
