Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

How could I have been this naive so far along in life? After reading the shortlist and doing the math on how much money they made from it, I’ve realized that the Novelry Big Story contest or whatever it’s called is a scam, looking for shit derivative commercial fiction that will likely never be sold

Autism was first diagnosed in 1943. Tylenol was released in 1950. More stupidity from the man who advised injecting bleach and taking ivermectin.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

The new iPhone is here so this is a reminder that Congolese children are forced to mine for cobalt and other minerals and extracts which are used by Apple to make your phone. Upgrading to a new one every time it’s released contributes to this exploitation of Congolese children.

IQ originated as a (flawed) measure of childhood mental development and is now wielded by every crusty, resentful neurotypical like a flaming sword of cherubim. It’s infuriatingly meaningless.
