70, but that piece of shit Durbin is retiring, thankfully. (IL)

Sotomayor and Jackson are the only two I trust to retain a shred of judicial morality. Disbar and try the rest.

And yes, that includes Kagan. I lost all respect for her after the recent conversion therapy decision.

Shadow dockets are for authoritarian states. They allow the court to issue per curiam opinions without the accountability of signing their names. Spineless and corrupt.

Stay alert, Chicago.

That is horrifying. I'm autistic and don't want to be perceived most of the time - the idea of sticking my neck out for someone who hasn't asked me to would be outrageously rude and scary to my mind. 😂

Who does this? I'd be mortified.

I am the child of two journalists and an attorney, and from a young age I got lessons in media literacy. In this day and age, I truly feel lucky I learned young.

So last night at Coachella, the Strokes put up a powerful video protest showing leaders and statesmen who were overthrown and/or killed by the CIA.

I wanted to post it - but it's a Coachella stage and the flashing lights are rough, so I wanted to add a warning.

The OP blocked quote posts. 😡

No neurodivergent person needs to be bullied into not being themselves.

I hope your children find the autistic community one day.

Read this whole damn thread, and understand a little bit better why I deeply hate "Autism Awareness Month." It's not for us. It's for everyone to talk -about- us.

Math rock - Wikipedia

I want so badly to laugh at this bastard child of Ayn Rand and every shitty math rock band I heard in the 90s, but it's honestly scary. There is no humanity here.

The Midwest is great for these. Every third corner in Chicago seems to have a hole in the wall like this where the food is the best thing you've had in years.

In much more amusing news, I saw someone here ask why Leon doesn't have grey hair in the latest #ResidentEvil game, since he's pushing 50.

My answer, quite simply, is that the internet would go wilder than 40-50 feral hogs.

Tell me I'm wrong.

No. By definition, if you work for that administration, you are not a decent human being.

Bullshit. There are enough of us who had two brain cells to rub together that didn't vote for him. There is something rotten in those who did.

It is so tiring to see people condemning RFK Jr for his ableist drivel and then turn around and be ableist themselves. Like, any ally in a storm, but you still see me as less than you.

Also, ABA is abusive dog training, there are other therapies that actually help us and don't try to force us into neurotypicality.

Hey, um, maybe he should try listening to autistic people before parents? We're the ones he wants to eradicate, not you.

I would get in serious trouble if I went into detail on what I hope happens to that man.

He doesn't see me and those like me as people. He delights in making our already-difficult lives harder.

Also, anyone who supports the "profound autism" drivel can take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

Sometimes I really need to hear this. Thanks.

Я изучала русский язык в университете, но боюсь, что я всё забыла. 😊

I always tell people that my "mild autism" means that it affects THEM mildly. Not me. Yet I look "normal." I have a doctoral-level degree. I have a job. I trigger their cognitive dissonance.

I struggled -really hard- with the gameplay, even on easy, because I'm autistic and my reflexes are sometimes not the best.

I still beat the game despite the struggles, because the story was Just That Good. The love is well deserved.

I could barely hear the voiceover; the music was so loud. But from what I can tell, I know damn well why it was pulled. Sigh.

She and her husband are living, breathing examples of why I still believe evil exists.

I'm a cat person, but I felt this way about my little girl. We had her for fifteen years and the house still feels so empty without her. All my sympathy to you and your family.

As a Game Changer fan who majored in this kind of political stuff at our shared alma mater, I chortled.

No and eat shit, in that order. How utterly obscene.
