- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptMany people claim there is a natural connection between capitalism and democracy. Sometimes the two concepts are virtually fused together.

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.
- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThis classroom scene shows how Russian education turns history into patriotic myth, discourages debate, and enforces loyalty-undermining truth, open discussion, and accountability, and turning schools into tools for shaping rigid, unquestionable beliefs.

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptA extremely common misconception about autistic people is that we don’t know when we’re not wanted. I always know. I can tell the exact moment the timer of tolerance of me runs out aswell. I just don't know why.
- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptI don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
- Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThe British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital.

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDept“Stimming had a SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE impact on autistic adults’ self-rated self-efficacy” “Results CONTRADICT the negative view often expressed suggesting that stimming should be eradicated” “Stimming has a POSITIVE effect and SUPPORTS autistic individuals’ ability to COPE with difficulties” 🫠
- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThe term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?
- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThe default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid. Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws. Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptA massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication.

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThis is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm. Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵
- The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

- Reposted by Alchemical AuDDeptThis is the same perverse Nazi logic that led Hans Asperger to distinguish between Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: those children who would be killed and those who would be used. Don't get bogged down in arguments about ability or humanity. These are overtures to genocide.

When you couple this with the post-9/11 legal surveillance infrastructure, you have the ingredients for an off-the-shelf police state.
