Read this outstanding book—it is a book about lies, lies that you likely fell for, lies for which there has been no penalty, lies that led to literal piles of dead bodies

If you would like to read more about autism, I would recommend @mykola's site, perhaps beginning with this excellent essay:

I do! There are helpful analogies to previous technologies, but these analogies can give a false sense of confidence about the future. I would say you argue persuasively in your excellent book "Resisting AI" that AI does present new threats (e.g. new ways of suppressing labour)

"We are in the midst of the largest outbreak of ME/CFS ever recorded" —this article provides a nuanced overview of both the overlap and the distinction between Long Covid and ME/CFS. Well worth a read for #MEAwarenessMonth

Great thread that also explains why you might be noticing more people saying that they are disabled—i.e. it is because they have no choice but to own that identity in order to fight back

Here's the thing about identity politics. The only reason that people make a big deal out of their identity is because at some time they were/are oppressed by the majority because of some characteristic deemed 'abnormal', 'inferior', 'undesirable' -

Spot-on description of chronic illness, alongside many other problems, from @MichaelTCisco (in 'Antisocieties', a brilliantly-weird book).

Superb thread & article. The fact that so many people have fallen for such transparent revisionism on lockdowns gives me little confidence that society will be sufficiently resilient to AI-driven misinformation and propaganda
