The Washington Post's eugenicist sleight of hand
Stop trying to make eugenics a thing, WaPo.
A recent Washington Post headline posed the blatantly eugenicist question, “Is autism preventable in certain cases after all?” and posited its answer as “some scientists say yes.” @ejwillingham.bsky.social shreds the article to bits, in the latest TPGA newsletter:

Roses are red,
Violets violet not blue,
I am autistic,
And if you like this poem
you’re probably autistic too

like when i’ve talked about the weird bullshit people in our fields get scrutinized over for posting (especially off the clock) this is a lot of what i’m referring to
like it’s actually a good thing for everyone seeking medical care if your healthcare workers are activists wrt care for all

‘Rehab Addict’ Canceled by HGTV After Host Nicole Curtis Uses Racial Slur During Filming
New episodes of season nine were initially set to return to the network this week.
“the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been" is a weird thing to say when you're apologizing for it having been part of your vocabulary Nicole 🙄
istg HGTV better not cave and bring her back after a cooling off period

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So
With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections
