psychology literature on autism is all so cringe.

"90% of autistic people are men" 100% of us can't believe you've fallen for this self-fulfilling diagnostic issue. ... and 90% of us wear striped knee socks.

"a few autistic people are so high-functioning that they even manage to hold down a […]

Oops. Binged most of the #terminatorzero #anime this evening.

Not the worst #terminator thing I've watched. The subtitles were pretty bad, though, frequently making characters swear uncharacteristically and messing up a line that was obviously […]

Okay, the first episode was kind of dull, but #tombraiderthelegendoflaracroft quickly picked up steam afterwards.

Also, this one woman in episode 2, I think, clearly had some very #sapphic feelings for Lara, and by episode 4 it's been confirmed that […]

One of my biggest #retrogaming issues is re-releases seldom include the manual. The actual, printed, full-color manual with art, maps, diagrams.

Players were expected to read the manual before playing from at least the NES era to PS2 era, and a lot of description/story is simply not in the game […]

Had an idea for an advent calendar web app a couple of days ago. A bit late? Or early for next year?

Epic's current giveaway of Sorry We're Closed is arguably its best one in a while, at least for me! Making up for the first?

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies.

They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube.

Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Realized last night that I don't actually have to keep updating my #vscode, given that every single update seems to be mostly AI junk.

I even went and downgraded to an August or September release to do away with some changes that had been bothering me before I commented out the relevant source […]

This reminds me that I've heard a fair number of people inventing strange news singular forms for words like the first two.

People seeing/hearing "vertices", then creating "verticee" for singular.

Started reading #LegendsandLattes by Travis Baldree
(@travisbaldree) just now. I think I've had the book for a couple of years now.

Can't say much about it yet, as I'm not past chapter 1, but I do enjoy the voice/writing style so far. (Although I would have liked at least some brief […]

I have discovered that teaching programming goes much better with my fifth grade students if I take the time to teach them about all the symbols I think of as "normal" that are totally new to them.

"These are square brackets, you'll find them over the 'enter' key we use them for lists. In […]

Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.
