Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

Autistic Person: (complains)

Society: "Quit being so negative. You're always complaining nonstop. Your life isn't as bad as you're making it seem. If you just started thinking positive, your struggles would vanish."

Autistic Person: (is happy)

Society: "Quit glorifying autism. Not everyone's autism is a superpower. Many people struggle because of it."

the sun is a sickly orange color today with a haze of smog blurring its edges. it truly looks like something you would use in a scifi movie to clue the audience in that something has gone very wrong

here’s a pic from the local reddit that honestly looks even scarier than what I’m seeing now

People participating in the recent CJP protests weren't trained. Yet they still showed up; to fight for their rights. So, here are some tips so you can be better prepared for your next protest (please feel free to add more):

The most important thing: PROTECT YOUR EYES. PROTECT YOUR HEAD. PROTECT THE BACK OF YOUR NECK.

For tear gas:

- The dehli police was found using tear gas, expired canisters at that. Carry some form of anatcid or baking soda solution to neutralize the cans as well as reduce pain from the burns.

- You can use nearby potholes to douse the cans. Do not use your hands, kick it or use a stick. You can also trap the can with traffic cones and pour water over the top.

- I cannot stress this enough, protect your face. Wear goggles, wear a mask (better if it's a surgical mask), carry a baking soda solution in case of exposure to gas. You can be permanently blinded if a can hits your face.

- If you are confident in your abilities to neutralize tear gas, form teams. Cover yourself with something waterproof, wear heat protective equipment and face shields.

For physical assault:

- Protect your head and neck. Spinal injuries can leave you permanently disabled. Police are instructed to preferably hit on the legs, and if the crowd starts to disperse, stop the lathi charge. Though, that was clearly not the case here. You can equip protective sports gear. Dont wear knee pads because you will need to run.

- There were cases of firing of rubber bullets as well. Yes, the same pellets used in Kashmir. Now just because they are rubber doesn't mean they're harmless. Cover your eyes if they shooting. Wear helmets. You can make body protection with thick yoga mats or similar material.

- Practice basic self defense. Learn to run and dodge.

General safety:

- Carry gauze. Carry other first aid items if possible. If you have the funds, distribute masks, bandages, and tourniquets in case of serious injuries. Have an ambulance on speed dial if violence breaks out.

- Carry drinking water. Again if possible, join/contribute to groups distributing food and water.

- Wear/distribute eye and head protection if possible. This includes rated eye goggles which have a lesser chance of breaking and potentially damaging your eyes, helmets, shin and elbow guards.

- Know your rights. Record if you can. Speak to news reporters.

You are angry. That's good. But don't act on that anger in a way that gives the government a chance to pin the blame on you. Be organized, be systematic. Don't let that rage explode, sharpen your anger into a blade.

Sherlock Holmes is a perfectly normal autistic guy with a roommate who is deeply perplexed by him.

Sherlock Holmes demonstrates a remarkably sophisticated understanding of stimulant usage in neurodivergent individuals

[byjove]

Yes. Being under-stimulated and overall withdrawn and turning to cocaine between cases is what makes it feel strangely realistic.

Watching 'Mountainhead' in HBO.

AI/Tech Bros have an obsession with "accelerationism"—the idea that tech founders should push rapid innovation and ignore the devastating consequences for society.

The 'escape to Mars' mindset is not about leaving a peaceful Earth, but a world on fire; the fires they are stoking.

Israel holds the cards. They have the Epstein blackmail details on Trump.

Most elected Republicans are on the same boat. You can't get that level of subordination to a much smaller country without some sort of extortion. Robert Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell made their fortunes blackmailing.

You do not infiltrate without the goods.

You know what? Fuck it I'm adding more context. Sesame Street has talked about the topic of death more than once and it's done with such gentle carefulness without watering down or censoring the heaviness of the situations. It treats heavy subject matter with respect and dignity and has been for DECADES. From the early 1980s:

To 2025:

Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.

They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.

Whenever I see people censoring words because it "might offend" someone or the big ad companies that are currently trying to run everything? I just want to say to them: "What? Is Sesame Street too mature for you?" Because really...what the hell are we doing.

[kunaigirl]

I'm back with even more examples! Sesame Street once again to this day is out here handling extremely difficult subject matter with incredible care and respect. "We can't let kids learn about uncomfortable things!" Oh, really now? Even though they're things that happen in everyday life that they'll face one day at some point anyway? Interesting. Let's see what else this show has covered that people (for some reason) think should be avoided and hidden. Here's more on death of loved ones and greif:

Or how about when someone is put into the foster care system because their home isn't safe anymore and their needs aren't being met?

Maybe some discussions about group therapy/getting help and support?

Hey look! Here's a segment about gender expression vs taught expectation, including unlearning harmful biases and what to do when you hurt someone on accident because you didn't know it was wrong!

Look! The topic of race and diversity! The importance of unity and equity!

They even also have a more allegorical take on discrimination and being looked down on for who you are, featuring Big Bird. The conflict is about how he's not being let into a club because the one bird running the club personally decided he didn't want someone like Big Bird there.

Big Bird goes out of his way to keep changing parts of himself in order to "prove" he can fit into this club if he just changed enough. The truth comes out though, and there's nothing he can do to gain the approval of that bird. He will never be good enough in his eyes, and Big Bird starts to hate himself. His real friends see this finally put their feet down, emphasizing that you should never change yourself just to fit into one singular narrow idea someone else has.

There's A LOT of different situations this can be an allegory for. Racism, sexism, homophobia, basically ANY form of exclusion is put on full blast in this 15 minute clip. Sesame Street can be both blunt and allegorical when approaching difficult topics, and it NEVER misses or looses the point.

It does an exceptional job in both styles of representation WITHOUT watering anything down. The more sanitized everything gets, the more radical Sesame Street is suddenly considered, hence why so many "particular groups" want it gone. Hmmm! I can only imagine why that could be, in this current political climate! (I'm being sarcastic)

When Sesame Street is suddenly labeled as "questionable" or "politically/agenda motivated" content...it says A LOT about where we currently are and who gets to decide what's "best" for kids or not. Don't fall for the censorship and topic-dodging excuses that are covered by the "But think of the children!!!" movement. Never fall for it, because you know which side you're on if you do.

Sesame Street proves kids can be taught and trusted with learning about these topics when it's handled with the right amount of understanding and care. It shows what all this "controversy" is all really about. What it's always been about, actually.

Don't fall for it, always side with Sesame Street.
