some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

An overlooked part of Taiwan's colonial history is that the Latin script arrived long before any Chinese, brought by European missionaries during their brief colonial attempts, but adopted by some Indigenous languages for long after
"Taiwan is home to over 20 living languages, and many of them don’t require a single Chinese character. In fact, some of the most vibrant linguistic revival movements happening on the island right now rely largely on extended Latin alphabets," says 姜呈穎 of JustFont.

man I remember when a white leftist started lecturing me for thinking burrito taxis are an enormous luxury because "they have delivery all over the place in China and no one throws fits about people using it like you libs do here"
Lefties talking about how great China is because of restaurant prices really shows how bad everyone wants there to be a huge underclass to provide services to them for very cheap

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

It would be nice if the city’s major newspaper hadn’t effectively collapsed thanks to its billionaire owner deciding he needed to suck Trump off for his pharma empire to prosper.
The errors occurring routinely in news stories about LA are indicative of a few big, unfortunate problems:
• Too much news coverage is determined by national political speech.
• Too many news reporters remain on X, a site feeding them propaganda.
• Too few guardrails exist in newsrooms today.
