What Reeves and Starmer don't understand is that it doesn't matter if they have full confidence in Rayner. What matters is if we the electorate have full confidence in Rayner.

Wrong again, Guardian! The Guardian offering misleading and factually wrong images of Neanderthals. Genetic studies are now universally agreed that white skin was a VERY late development (10,000 years?). Guardian, stop spreading this white nonsense.

Resist Facism!
Looks like peaceful US resistance is organising around these dates. Since corporate power is global it'd be good to show solidarity with the economic boycotts on February 28th + March 7th-14th + that Total Shutdown on March 15th.

I am wondering if anyone, who is actually autistic, has thought about the stages that lead up to them melting down? I don't think that anyone has really thought about the complexity of meltdowns.

Mostly, autistic people diagnosed as adults are dropped into one general group of over-18s, as if an 18 yr old and a 75 yr old are going to have the same needs and lives.
100 years of autism research.
Good to see papers like this one asking why we haven't got even basic thinking right yet.
