Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.
Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.
No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

In Boston, when they "cleared the camps," homeless folks had pills, medical devices, and wheelchairs thrown into the back of a trash truck and compacted.
this is what it means when someone "clears the camps" - taking what little these people have left, and destroying it. the hope is they die.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Okay so hear me out. We're not allowed PUNCHING Nazis. Violence is never the answer.
But what if, instead of punching them, we killed them with drone strikes and no due process? Or what if we drove up to them in unmarked vans and disappeared them? That's okay in America, right?

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

One of the most common type of AI post in UX is a booster pretending to be a skeptic: "AI promised it would be simple but to use it well you actually need very good design taste, like I have"
Managers don't give a shit about your "good taste" because *they don't know their AI outputs are bad.*

What this sort of stuff is likely to do is make parents FEARFUL of their kid being on the spectrum. It provides an incentive towards denial and repression.
Just like their anti-trans policies incentivize parents to try & deny and suppress unconventional gender expression and identity in their kids.

This puts parents in such an impossible bind.
To access services, you need a diagnosis.
But what happens when that diagnosis puts your kid in a database run by a eugenicist who believes autism is a disease that should be eradicated?
