Good bit of analysis here.

'Putting lay-offs down to AI sounds better than saying β€œwe need to keep margins high so we’re sacking some low performers” and politically safer than saying β€œunpredictable Trump tariff policy means we are hiring less young people.”'

I recently listened to the What’s your Problem? interview with Elie Hassenfeld and thought β€šwouldnβ€˜t it be awesome if there was a givewell.org for #climate?β€˜
Turns out there is! Thanks @heatmap.news for giving a shoutout to givinggreen.earth

This is absurd. Terrifying. We have a technology that doesn't perform as advertised, backed with the exact financial shenanigans that caused the 2008 crisis.

And the administration that killed 1,000,000 Americans with Covid.

New β€˜Boots’ cast photoshoot has the gays yelling β€˜Yes, sir!’ ​All they needed was a white tank top… to then take it all off.

Or at least, that's what the Golden Gay in #BootsNetflix S1E6 says.

This show moralizes at us about tolerating #toxicity on-the-reg, so it's no surprise my #neurospicy self sees #righteous #justice here.

Did any of y'all feel this, in this moment, or was it just me?

"Personally, going back to somebody who's been an asshole to me, and making them see how much better I am without them, is basically a reason to go on living."

Explaining an incident of #DARVO to a curious-but-neutral audience requires us to rehydrate our unhealed trauma for the outside chance we might be understood.

Just because silence is a low-energy path doesn't mean it is a positive-sum path. #speakUp #seekHelp

#DARVO is difficult to talk about openly because it *only* happens in the subtext of your relationship with your #narcissistic #abuser.

A relatively-empowered family member used #DARVO on me in a novel way today, so it took my #autistic self a few hours of gentle "reflection" before I realized they had (metaphorically) punched me in the same "button sequence" as my #abusiveEx used to always do, & that's when it crystallized for me.
