@amiserabilist As a person with "Asperger's" who hates binary questions due to the subjective nature of possibilities, I can confidently answer this meme with "yes" because I am both.
@amiserabilist People hate me for this, but as someone who used to be less embarrassed to say "Asperger's" instead of "autistic," I speak up when I see the term.
Pre WWII, Asperger belonged to organizations with strong Pan-German and anti-Semitic leanings,. He referred to his patients as "autistic psychopaths," helped legitimize "racial hygience," and clearly collaborated with Nazis in Vienna.
Background Hans Asperger (1906–1980) first designated a group of children with distinct psychological characteristics as ‘autistic psychopaths’ in 1938, several years before Leo Kanner’s famous 1943 paper on autism.

But voting, like driving, is a privilege, not a Constitutional right. Oh, wait, voting IS a Constitutional right.
But not to the #GOP. The only Constitutional right there is, as far as they're concerned, is the right to "bear arms" according to the 2nd Amendment and according to the various conservative SCOTUS justices.

This is an article from 1976 about the first Supreme Court decision kicking off the third-party doctrine, about a week after Apple Computers is founded. Found it on the CIA's website.
Windows is basically legacy abandonware at this point. Only using it because of the drivers, and even that is improving on linux at high speeds. We're a few months/years into a collective "bye, felicia" moment as we are all laid off/broketrepeneurs but we still get to choose our tools.
Oh the irony...using the very same play book of those they created an industry of and used for years to gain sympathy and here they are showing they are just as vile and evil individuals as anyone else and it was all a facade to murder and steal with impunity.
Filtering out PFAS is only the first step. These ‘forever chemicals’ still have to be destroyed, and there are many questions about how to do that safely.
"Dr. Farrar said such guidelines should be based on clear experimental evidence, though that evidence is still scarce for many diseases."
Does that mean that Farrar/WHO will accept *experimental* studies like exposing healthy hamsters to air from a room where sick hamsters were breathing, and if they get sick, that's clear evidence of airborne (excuse me, "through-the-air") transmission? Or will "experimental" studies turn out to mean "human RCTs only"?
Is this an acknowledgment they were wrongly denying that COVID is airborne, or watering down the definition so that folks can say "COVID is only 'airborne' because they redefined the term"?

He may have discovered that Ukranians are Christians, which always seems to play a big role in his motivation. Wait till he hears what the Armenians have been through.
@kristen_d @jeffjarvis you get me. So many people complaining about links about sources about this about that… even here there is an abundance of whine
This is the game GOP leadership plays…act like they’re finally trying to do something positive, then pull the football away just as the kicker gets close to a viable solution, saying it’s not ready yet and blame the Democrats. Remember? They did a similar tactic on the border…
the entire split aid proposals are a ploy to get Israel aid passed, and to further obfuscate aid to Ukraine. It's a f*cking trap, and I'll bet anything that dems will fall for it. They'll vote to protect his speakership, for allowing the vote to happen, as he sticks a knife into our backs.
"If we continue to block this, our whole project to destroy America will be compromised. Putin will need to let Ukraine drag out a little longer to preserve our cover because otherwise it's just too obvious we work for him."
