Another #Autism realization: I don’t shift my internal narrative to match others’ as easily as I’ve seen most allistic people do. This seems to strengthen my concept that autism is at least partially described by a reduced drive for #social cohesion. I just don’t seem to care as much about doing what everyone else is doing as what I see in allistic people.

If you are following the #USPresidentialElection via #FiveThirtyEight and are worried about what you’re seeing there, please allow me to direct your attention to a line of text you likely missed on the page: “538 uses polling, economic and demographic data to explore likely election outcomes.” In other words, it’s all made up from unreliable data that probably doesn’t reflect reality as much as it does historic biases. Ignore it, calm yourself, and have a good weekend. 🧘 #uspolitics

When is #FiveThirtyEight going to realize they’re being played as part of a disinformation campaign using large numbers of misleading polls to shift public perception? That’s a trick question. They acknowledge on their page that their information can be misleading, and then proceed to misuse analytical statistics methods to generate bogus projections. The predictions are never wrong, you see - it was only a probability! Ignore them and move on. #uspolitics #Politics #statistics

The fact that so many low-quality polls which support a particular party and/or candidate should tell you what’s really happening in US politics. Those polls are intended to back a disinformation campaign that the credulous repeat without critical thought to convince low-information voters and those “on the fence“ to pick the obvious winner.” In reality, they’re losing and they know it. Ignore the polls and vote your conscience. #uspolitics #politics #vote2024

I know that at times it feels like there’s an overwhelming amount of #WorldSuck out there, but that’s not all there is. This world is amazing and terrible and wonderful and horrifying. There are roses to find in the thorn bush. If you’re in the US, or if you celebrate the US #Thanksgiving holiday today, I hope you have a wonderful day and find many things to be thankful for. I’m personally thankful for all the people out there working to decrease world suck. 😉
