There's this strange trend of trying to find some object that the economy is supposedly shaped like. Recently we had the K-shaped economy, and now, ladies and gentlemen, it's the Nike swoosh–shaped recovery.

Is it rude to engage with someone’s thoughts that they posted publicly on a forum with millions of users? We asked ten baby brained whiners what they think

There’s a guy on TikTok who posts just him taking a pizza out of the oven every day with tongs and all of the comments are about how their day is ruined from having watched this

i posted a new essay to my site that explores the entanglements of trans and Mad identity and the alliances of sanity and cissexuality as forms of social power. i write with an ‘anti-sanity’ perspective that refuses the repudiation of madness in trans politics. open.substack.com/pub/tenderly...

Not to be trans or anything but today I went to the doctor’s with a visibly swollen wrist and got asked if I’d had “any genital surgeries”

Another person conducting ICE abductions in New Jersey has been identified: Mike Smith of Warrington, PA, described by Jersey Counterinfo as “41 years, is married, is a homeowner, has two children, and is a Disney Adult.” He evidently is a U.S. Marshal: jerseycounterinfo.noblogs.org/nj-ice-agent...

My uncle died with covid at 60, but he had an underlying heart condition. Of course, it had never bothered him -- he had no idea he had it actually. But rest assured, he did not die of covid, per his family

Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 3d ago

people could respond to this framing around reporting deaths—"had significant underlying health conditions"—with more confidence if we weren't also living through a pandemic in which we have been told only people who have "underlying health issues" are "vulnerable" or "at risk"

Always finding lists. There arent a lot of black or white monsters i guess.

There are benefits, for the dominator, in claiming that the dominated are unable to feel as others do Those closest to DSM-style definitions of sociopathy are often furthest from the colloquial meaning. It's an abuse the language is made to perform, under duress, uniting difference and evil

nora "the tea kobold" rude (they/them ze/hir)@nora.zone · last wk.

anyway i basically do not believe that "sociopath" is a useful social category in as much as it is even real. i think it is a way for people to wrap themselves in the cushioning gauze of the lie that evil is done by the sick and that they are among the well

i don't believe cowardice is the only reason for amnesty international's decision and that framing is doing JK Rowling's PR for her as this unstoppable legal machine which - when cases are actually challenged in court - is not always true. i think AI leadership is sympathetic to GC orgs and causes

Genuine neurodevelopmental disorders are social constructs 😶‍🌫️ You know, adding the word "genuine" only makes it more socially constructed 🤔 now it requires an authority!
