@it_unprofession Try prepping ingredients rather than full meals so that you can toss a fresh meal together quickly.

I tried meal prepping to save time and money. Step one was to watch eight YouTube videos made by people who apparently live in kitchens. They all have 27 glass containers and a fridge that looks like a showroom. I have three mismatched Tupperware lids and zero matching bottoms. I spent $180 at the grocery store to "cook once, eat all week." By Wednesday, I was sick of chicken and ate $40 worth of takeout. My fridge now has 6 identical sad containers of chicken I refuse to acknowledge. Every time I open the door, they stare at me like "we were supposed to change your life." On Friday I threw them away and told myself it was a lesson, not waste. Saturday I watched another video titled "Budget Meal Prep For Beginners." I think I'm the budget.

Does anyone know why Joe Biden keeps raising gas prices? This is getting out of control.

@drstevenkapp Is this link only open to those in the UK? For me it goes to the home page of Twinki and a search for autism does not bring up anything related.

Autism is a clinical disability & the neurodiversity movement argues it is *both* a difference *&* a disability. This is part of my life’s work to document & explain, but many mischaracterize our studies (Incl “Deficit, difference, or both?”) & positions. twinkl.co.uk/news/experts-c…

@naomicfisher It's the APoTs. Autism Police of Twitter. There's actually not that many of them, but they are really loud and use the 'pile on' technique. The big voices cycle in and out every few seasons. There are thousands of us who no longer interact because they stole all the joy.

Say that the autism spectrum should be divided - as Uta Frith did - and you’ll quickly be discredited, dismissed as ignorant and personally attacked. Even if you’ve been working in the field for 60 years. Why is it so important to control what is said and why do so many go along with it? #autism #neurodiversity #utafrith neurosense.substack.com/p/saying-the-u…

@DoctorPerin @AynenMakino How does that work (offered twice)? I've never had a doctor tell me I qualify for a diagnosis and then ask if I want it or not.

@AynenMakino You’re the first person who asked, thank you 🤝 I was offered it twice as an adult for traits but did not pick it up. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 7 but my physical brain has developed a lot since then and I have a better understanding of neurodevelopment and personality.

It needs to be said. “Autism” hasn’t been a singular, reliable, or distinct diagnosis since it was expanded in 2013 so children couldn’t be denied IEPs in school. Even when it is actual autism I caution against adopting a fixed condition-focused identity that impedes growth.

@naomicfisher are autistic. This world would be wildly different, and much quieter, if that were the case. The only place I've seen a distribution that high is on social media. I don't immediately agree with everything she says, but I'm curious to see where this leads.

@naomicfisher In addition to reading the article, I watched her talk, Uta Frith: A crisis in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Conditions, on YT to get a better idea of what she is talking about. I agree ASD is becoming overly broad, and over diagnosed. There is simply no way 1 in 31 people...

Uta Frith, renowned autism researcher, gives an interview to the TES about autism – and the internet goes wild. We’re told that what she said will put back progress 40 years, that she knows nothing about autism, that she lacks critical thinking and that her words will harm autistic people to the point of suicide. You’d guess she must have said something really awful. Perhaps something deeply offensive about autistic people which reveals her lack of compassion and understanding. Even then, it’s hard to know how one retired academic would have the power to make others commit suicide and to turn back progress to the extent that is predicted. What she said was that she thinks the autism spectrum has expanded too far and that it isn’t helping anyone. Not those who originally received autism diagnoses, and not those who are now getting diagnoses who previously would not have done. She said that she thinks scientific progress is being held back because ‘autism’ now means something so heterogenous that we can’t identify anything that all autistic people share. Nothing biological or neurological, nothing cognitive, nothing behavioural. In her words, there are no markers. The autism spectrum is, in fact, the widest spectrum imaginable. It goes from some of the most disabled people in our society to some of the highest achievers. And there’s no evidence that they have anything in common except their diagnosis. Saying this sort of thing gets you into a lot of trouble online. There are accepted narratives that we are all expected to comply with, and one is the idea that the giant autism spectrum is protective, that it helps people to be included under one diagnosis. Any language which helps people differentiate is banned. Which is odd, because we don’t think that in any other area of medicine. No one says (for example), that we shouldn’t differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes because it’s protective not to be able to talk about the differences. It’s obvious that differentiating between types of diabetes will lead to better understanding and interventions. If you don’t comply with these narratives about autism – as Uta Frith hasn’t – then you will be publicly shamed. Your expertise will be challenged, even if you have 60 years of experience. You’ll be told that you are harming people and that you are ignorant. Personal slurs are likely to be used against you. And it’s all about social control. Shame is about social control. It’s about creating things that can be said, and things that can’t be said. Others see the shaming and keep quiet. It’s about controlling the narrative so that real discussions can’t be had. I’ve talked to so many clinicians who raise these concerns with me and who then say that they’d never speak up, for fear of shaming and even losing their job. There are important things that are not being talked about, for fear of the repercussions. To my mind, the interesting question is really why. Why is it treated like blasphemy to say that the vast autism spectrum may no longer be fit for purpose? Why are we not allowed to discuss the reality of clinical practice? Why are personal attacks the go-to when scientists disrupt the prevailing narrative? And why are we all so compliant, censoring ourselves to avoid the discomfort of shame?

@Simon_Ingari Was that not an offer of a cocktail?

If a recruiter offers you a drink, do not ask for coffee.

“Anthropic’s Claude ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish…” LMFAO apple.news/A5syxytGBR4yim…

This is the reason why I pay for internet 🤣

@MichaelNIXG My god, it’s a large boulder the size of a massive boulder.

The video begins with people standing along a road when they suddenly hear a loud commotion nearby. Moments later, panic sets in as something unexpected unfolds in front of them. A massive boulder rolls down and crashes into a man's motorcycle, destroying it instantly. Bystanders can be seen running and shouting in shock as debris scatters across the road. Despite how terrifying the scene looks, reports confirm that no one was harmed. The close call has left viewers shaken and reminded of how fast danger can strike.

Note to self:

@bryan_johnson This is terrifying!

My lungs aged 19 years after having COVID. After 18 months and numerous interventions, my lungs still have not regained full capacity. + In 2021, my lung capacity was age 26. + By Nov 2022, after getting covid, my lung capacity was age 45. + Now 2024, my lung capacity is age 37. My covid symptoms were very mild and lasted only 3 days. Lung therapies below.

@RepJackKimble @PressSec Ok, now I’m wondering if this is a diversion tactic because the email I received from HR said they are moving to Greenland? What is even true anymore???

@PressSec A friend of mine dated a girl who married Antifa’s parliamentarian and she said they were moving to Canada

@patriottakes She’s not a sweller, is she?

🤔

@charise_lee What does he need lawyers for if he’s handed the info off to a reporter and “multiple sources”? If the info is legit the reporter will report. If the info is not legit, the story dies. Either way he is no longer part of the story because he gave it away.

Stay safe … you may just be changing the course of history‼️ These threats are unfortunately the expected outcome with the current criminal regime in office‼️

@PuppiesIover Oooh, hi cabbage wrap! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You have to name him the last thing you ate

@FPWellman Kash, calling field rep: Make sure those bullets have anti ICE messaging on them. Agent scribbles on bullet: A N T I… hey boss, is antiice one word or two?

@FPWellman Who writes “anti-ice” on a bullet? Who takes the time to write the little dash even? If you were against ice you’d write “fuck ice” or something similar. This is insulting. We need to demand better psy ops.

I'm not a lawyer but...the head of the FBI literally tweeting pictures of unconfirmed evidence within minutes of a murder seems like the dumbest shit imaginable.
