Hyper-masculinity does not make people healthy or happy.
In one of the Marines’ most iconic jobs, a stunning pattern of suicide
Marine Corps drill instructors are a national symbol of discipline. But for some, their imposing persona belies a dark reality.

A narcissist conspired with a glib psychopath to ruin my life, and the glib psychopath, being a glib psychopath, never was committed to the conspiracy; so, he ended up ruining the narcissist's life and making my own even worse.

😒

Thank you, sir, may I have another?
Rand Paul on Trump calling him "nasty liddle' guy": "I don't take it too seriously. I've known the president for over a decade. I've played golf w/ him many times. I enjoy his company. I think he's one of the best presidents if not the best president of my lifetime...I'm one of his best supporters"

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after “Democrat programs”?

Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food?

These aren’t “Democrat programs.” These are people programs.

Trump’s defensive structure is extremely primitive, so it isn’t surprising scatology would be part of it.

He is a man-toddler, without the playfulness, charm, humor, or curiosity of actual toddlerhood.

Hi! Hello!

I’m the leader of an organization called @standupforscience.bsky.social and I’ve said all these things…on repeat. For 8 months.

We aren’t taking ANY shit in our brownies. We aren’t looking to someone else, cozying up with fascists, or cowering.

WE ARE STANDING UP.
... they talk about backing away, routing around, looking to states or maybe overseas, cultivating relationships with Republicans, etc. etc.

You know what not a single one has said? "I'm going to fight him. I'm going to destroy him & his movement & salt the fucking earth where they lay." Zero.

Yes but what does this say about the rest of us?
For my piece today at @zeteo.com i wanted to truly underscore how punishingly stupid american fascism is now. Like, my original proposed headline for this was:

Our Democracy Is Imperiled Because One Old Man Won’t Stop ‘Yelling’ At His TV. zeteo.com/p/trump-addi...
Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy
Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.

and it's critical to point out that a big reason that autistic people have poor qualities of life is not autism; it's ableism; it's the harshness with which society treats us.

YES: “If parents get their information about parenting autistic kids from the autistic community, they will find people who think their kids are awesome and deserve to be happy, and want their parents to feel the same way. The parents will learn about autism from people who had autistic childhoods.”
"Because of the media's relentless negativity, fearmongering, & pseudoscience in covering autism, “ #profoundAutism " communities are often magnets for parents whose goal is to cure or treat autism, instead of understanding how to support an autistic child."

Interesting and insightful discussion in the replies and quote-posts here.

#ActuallyAutistic
I don’t exactly how to phrase this, but like… is autism that bad???? Like, why is it such a source of fear??? Of course there are challenges but you can be autistic and have a rich, fulfilling life! Many people do! I don’t understand the preoccupation.

It bothers me that cigarette smoking became less common for personal health reasons and not something that is related to health reasons, which is that subjecting others to irritants a rude thing to do to the people around you.

Good morning, everyone.

Please understand this dynamic. What is disabling is often more other people than the person who gets called disabled.

This, this & more this. He didn't just "scream" or indulge in "monkey business." He was promising full-on fascism. And white people thought they'd be safe.
Looking around, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that everyone -- and I mean everyone -- should have worked much harder to prevent Donald Trump from being elected.

Just think about the kind of person who, today, with everything going on, thinks "I want to be an ICE officer." What are the chances of that being a decent human being?

Big Oil knew exactly what they were doing. They performed the modeling.
Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.
