Imagine an environment where Simon Baron-Cohen has the moral high ground
Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · yesterdayOn July 31, Simon Baron-Cohen urged people to tone down the rhetoric on twitter re Jason Arday, and pointed to his own research on autism and suicide.

My accountant referred to a physical signature as a "wet signature" which I find needlessly unpleasant

You may disagree with Nigel Farage, but we haven't seen political statesmanship of such gravitas since Harold Macmillan challenged Muffin the Mule to a wanking competition
I would pay actual money at this point for fucking Suri Toothbrushes to stop advertising at me. Cannot get rid of the pricks.
I wonder what is it about this girl being groomed by online nazis that makes her story tragic and Shamima Begum's story not tragic www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
TV tonight: the tragic story of Britain’s ‘schoolgirl terrorist’

I decided to click on Acrobat’s ‘generate podcast’ option for an invoice I just opened.

Wracking my brains to remember if there were any other better, cooler, and more logical ways public bathrooms were separated in 60s America.

Look, we’ve all accidentally armed a pre-teen at one point or another
Clarrie Maguire@problemchimp.bsky.social · 5d agoI spent the weekend catching up with a group of old friends and their families. Two days after returning home I still keep laughing out loud at the memory of witnessing a man realise he’d just shown a particularly bright and fearless eight year old that you can 3D print shuriken.
Leopold Bloom and his friends would have killed Dobby with hammers, I can tell you that much.
