This is the first social network where I’m joining post autism diagnosis and I’m trying to 100% unmask.

Could you undergo ‘phenomenal death’—cease experiencing while remaining functionally identical? If yes, phenomenality was never causal. But then what’s generating your concept of it right now?
Stated differently, can you become a P-zombie? Why does it feel inconceivable? Draw me some Kripke frames

Christmas dinner attendance is the colimit of a family diagram where every morphism is an obligation. We can model this in the internal logic of a cohesive/local topos. Consider a Kripke frame, our accessibility relations representing deontic modes…

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!
My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

Did anything happen with Dr Mercola after his bizarre consultation with a psychic resulting in the takeover of his company? Why didn’t any of this make waves? youtu.be/QRps3VQ-0BE?...

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

One of the candidates to be pope is literally named “Pizzaballa” which is both baller AND involves pizza. There is no way anyone else should be pope.

Sometimes if I’m feeling down I just think about that one van that says “Honk, Jesus, Honk! If i u saves, if u love, Jesus! Love Jesus, Jesus!” And it cheers me right up. I hope Jesus does honk, especially if he saves or he loves. And I hope Jesus loves Jesus.
