If Elon Muck’s antics this past weekend don’t doesn’t raise bright red warning signs all over the world about his judgment and character, I don’t know what will I hate that I have to use the term "fellow Aspergian" to describe Elon Muck. He is emotionally permanently the 12-year old who got so badly bullied it affected him mentally, as he demonstrates daily.
Also, his recent tilt toward Russia and China should raise some eyebrows in the Defense Dept. Odd positions for an American defense contractor.
Some folks with long memories may recall how Henry Ford was turfed out of his company when he went ‘round the bend during WWII. The Air Force wanted more B-24s and R-2800s — and less bullshit.
I hear you. Suspect I would be diagnosed as being "neurodivergent" or "on a scale" were I a child attempting to understand this world again today - similar to being measured for a suit between growth spurts by a tailor with hyperopia.
Anyway, I do participate in a modest circle of Twits and most of us have concluded we shan't jump off the bird immediately as there's no readily available replacement that suits. So, we will optimistically wait for Jack Dorsey to do his new BlueSky thing and pick up the cream of the employees from all those that Lone Muks fired. Meanwhile I and some others attend to our feeds and block the accounts of every promoted tweet. Small, petulant, ineffective action - perhaps, but it feels good. Nice to have even minor aspirational (aspergerational?) goals sometimes.
The right wing politicians see the craziness, lies, and violence as beneficial to their political ambitions. They do not care at all for ordinary people. Every day seems more crazy and awful than the last.
I relished acknowledging Asperger’s particular glory reading such an incredibly knowledgeable and intimate piece on an Asperger’s path crash bound and seriously gone wrong.
Textbook material on the perils of the DSM-V.
And the intricate machinations of thinking necessary to understand the disturbing level of mental health aberrations in the Republican and MAGAt world.
"Aspergers and Autism are not the same thing and do not belong on the same “spectrrum” - further proof that the professional illiterates who wrote the current DSM-V have their heads up their ass, where 80% of that profession have kept theirs since birth."
Fascinating post. Very useful (and predictive) analysis that answers loads of questions. Also, yet again, the only place one can find such explanation. Legacy media MIA yet again.
The only problem is that Twitter is awesome. It provides almost instantaneous updates on everything under the sun. Of course none of it is reliable, but nothing is perfect. I don't think Mr. Musk will last long at Twitter. He's a big picture guy. He will quickly lose interest in the drudgery of cat-herding. He has also, with his intemperate tweet about Mr. Pelosi, found out that there are real pocket-book consequences to that type of behavior. He is a very smart guy. He understands how to correct processes to prevent repeated thumb flattening via misapplied hammer. Don't write Twitter (and Musk) off just yet. Besides, there is more to the story.

I use Twitter mainly to follow Russia's war against Ukraine. I have learned who is reliable and also to wait for multiple sources. Telegram also contributes
Thanks, TC. I am not a huge Twitter user, because it is already too full of hate and vitriol, but this just proved to me that abandoning that platform is the best thing I can do. In addition, thank you for your description of the governor of my State (for whom I DID NOT vote...) "Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin - the slimeball who proves Stephen King was right when he said “the best monsters have their fur on the inside”"...he IS a slimeball and I wish we could vote him out right now...he tries to act like he is concerned about the people of this state, but he is only concerned about the ones who will vote for him...the white right...I can't call them Christians because they aren't, in my book. Happy November...and may it actually turn out that way! 7 more days to progress or hell....

Was the Hillary Clinton body double the same one that had an affair with Vince Foster?
I'm struck by how many people are saying now that they see just how bad republicans are. Where were they for the past, oh, 60 years or so?

Beyond sizzlin’, TC. Wow.

Get the rocket launches ready.
Unita 🗽
Rott, oh Musk, has his fingers in lots of
different very strange pies. Neural Link
is one of the scariest. He's a menace.
And he is a twit. He opened the door on
Twitter to vile spewage from some of the
planets lower than wale poop life forms,
then withdrew his tweet. Of course, most
of the republican underbelly had to chime
in. While I really don't want to wish hardship on the people in Cancun Cruz
area, I hope Texas in his area gets hit
with the worst winter storm that grounds
all flights, all aircraft, and his house is without electricity or heat for a long time.
On a positive note, my Absentee ballot
came in the mail today. Red state voting
BLUE all the way and any other, but red,, where there's no BLUE.
I AGREE 1000%:

"His tweet promoting the baseless allegation.... came from the bottom of the worst of the far right."
Sorry, TC. Not usually a nitpicker. But the above stipulates that there's a bottom to said environs. There isn't.
But that won't stop Musk from looking for it.
